Secrets of VERBENA: Tagaytay Gastrologue 3
The day I visited Verbena Restaurant Inn in Tagaytay City was the day I found myself and what I was destined to do for the rest of my life. Though I was really there to critique Verbena’s cuisine under Chef David Pardo de Ayala, deep inside, my thoughts grappled with the idea that I would get to munch a truly healthy Tagaytay salad, with real Tagaytay-harvested greens, within Tagaytay’s natural wonders.

Cake Slices and a day with Delores Custer
Can you still get me a seat in the class of Delores Custer, I asked my best friend. I forgot I was free this Saturday for this once in a lifetime course to be given by the top New York food stylist. She got me in; I think I was the last participant allowed. Anyway, short history, I was supposed to take her course in Culinary Institute of America but 9/11 evolved and you know what happened next. Instead I took Jill Sandique’s course and we became great friends…. I am moving away from topic of my article.
Gloria Maris

Cebu grill review
Barbequed, broiled, roasted, kebab, satay, yakitori -- whatever you might call it, grilled food always has been among the favorite dishes that transcend cultural boundaries. Owing to the lack of utensils in ancient times, grilling over an open fire was probably the original method for cooking meat. It can be as simple as putting a piece of meat, seafood, or a vegetable over a fire, whether it is plain, marinated, skewered, or wrapped in foil or plant leaves.
