Chef Donita Rose shares Jolly Heart Mate recipes
THE rewarding experience of sharing a feast is just one of the many perks of cooking especially for Filipinos, and Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil ambassador Chef Donita Rose happily shares her passion in cooking at the first leg of her Regional Festival Tour, Davao’s Kadayawan Festival.
Kadayawan Festival, being the city’s biggest annual party, is a week-long celebration in which the entire city transforms into a colorful place with people celebrating in the streets. The festival’s 31st anniversary could cannot be any bigger, with Chef Donita sharing her satisfying recipes that are all a perfect fit for the fiesta gathering.
The celebrity chef is set to do a series of promotional cooking demo mall shows. Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil kicks off its festival tour at Gaisano Mall, on August 20, 4PM; in this event Chef Donita will show a unique signature dish using her cooking techniques and unique ingredients fresh from Davao.
Davao mommies and foodies will also get a chance to try the sample dish made by chef Donita and be part of some mini games to win Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil freebies, to complete their Kadayawan experience. The celebrity chef will also share insights on hearthealthy cooking and getting picky when it comes to the ingredients while showcasing her culinary skills.
“Filipinos, especially the Davaoeños, really love to eat particularly during the Kadayawan, our culture is practically centered on food which brings families closer, so we should also be aware of how we prepare the food and what ingredients we use for the dishes that we serve,” said Donita.
With the thanksgiving festival of Davao showcasing their bountiful harvest of fruits, vegetables, livestock and poultry seafood, Chef Donita wants to help Davaoeños to prepare de- licious dishes using their harvest, but making it heart healthy with the use of Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil.
“We must always be conscious that the ingredients we use should be good for the heart, like Jolly Heart Mate Canola oil which contains the lowest amount of bad fats (saturated fats) but packs in the good kind like omega 3 and 6 that are good for the heart,” Donita shared.
After the Kadayawan Festival, Donita is scheduled to have a stopover in Naga next month for the Peñafrancia Festival as part of her nationwide festival tour.
