The Great Dole Cook-off Event @MIHCA!

My bad! This was a late post , though its still worth sharing , thus they say "Better late than never"! I had great time with my fellow Bloggers and foodies as well when I get to attend the "The Great Dole Cook-Off Event"! Though it was  a rainy night and the venue is at MAGSAYSAY INSTITUTE OF HOSPITALITY and CULINARY ARTS and the weather is a bit rainy, it didn't dampened my spirits and be a spectator among the bloggers who will battle each other through a cook-off.

The event was hosted by Chef Jeremy Favia. Chef Jeremy is one of the rising young chefs in television today. He is a product of University of Sto. Tomas (HRM Dept.) and finished culinary school at the International School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management .

That's me with Fab Chef Jeremy Favia!

For Starters, Chef Jeremy taught us how to cook Cherry Toamto and Eggplant Ragu Penne and Red Gazpacho which are both good for the health buffs out there.

 Cherry Tomato and Eggplant Ragu Penne

This dish made it more tastier with feta cheese. Yummy! I will definitely try to make one at home. This as the dish that bloggers tried to do make for the cook-off. It was great experience especially for those bloggers who were able to try and actually cook the dish. The lucky winner went home with cash prizes.

And the winner is.......

Enzo Luna of Juan Manila Express!

Good job enzo!

The dishes prepared made it more yummier and healthier with use of Dole Tomato Sauce .

Dole is the world's largest producer and marketer of high quality fresh fruits and vegetables and packaged foods. They are also encourage us to cook more dishes with Dole Tomato sauce because their tomato sauces are packed with a lot of Lycopene. Lycopene is said to help fight the big C! So what are we waiting for , let's all try the habit of cooking dishes wit lots of Dole Tomato Sauce in it!
