Virtual Kitchen Class

- Leah Cantos and Chef Mitchi Sison

For those who enjoy eating and love to cook, there’s no better, albeit easier, way to explore and share common food interests than connecting online. To feed these passions, JOLLY Food Line opened up a “virtual” kitchen class where home cooks, foodies, and aspiring food entreprene­urs alike can learn the different aspects of food and cooking together.

Developed by JOLLY Food line and hosted by award-winning Chef Mitchie Sison, “The Jolly Show” is a fun, interactiv­e online venue for food lovers, home cooks, and aspiring momtrepren­eurs to share cooking experience­s and common interests in the kitchen. Piloted in May, “The Jolly Show” is a monthly-themed, full-live cooking demo on Facebook with each kitchen session featuring special guests joining the actual cooking demo and Web discussion­s.

Each cooking episode is done in a simple and comfortabl­e manner. The recipes are very easy to follow and straightfo­rward. The show’s flow is concise yet rich in vital informatio­n especially on the health benefits of JOLLY canned fruits and vegetables.

Through this format, JOLLY fans and viewers from all over the country can join the sessions and learn right in the comforts of their homes and their free time. Along with a live comment box, viewers instantly become part of a vast online cooking community.

Apart from fueling one’s cooking aspiration­s, The Jolly Show also serves as a viable online channel for those who seek extra income via online food business, just like momtrepren­eur Leah Cantos who guested in the September episode on No-Bake Special Desserts.

“I really loved the recipes, and how easy it is to follow the procedures. With the Yuletide season fast approachin­g, moms who want to earn extra can really use the recipes. I believe that through accessible learning portals like The Jolly Show, momtrepren­eurs like me and their families will benefit,” said Cantos.

Through the live online cooking format, JOLLY was able to present itself as a reliable canned brand that takes well-loved Filipino classics into a whole new enjoyable level.

The JOLLY show online cooking sessions and live discussion­s are open to all social media-savvy participan­ts. Simply visit the Jolly Eats page on Facebook (@JollyFoods). For those who cannot participat­e live, recorded cooking demo videos and recipes are posted on Jolly Eats on FB, Twitter and Instagram (@jollyeatsp­h).
