STAR TREATS FOR CHRISTMAS
Tis the season to be merry and
The Philippine STAR wishes to treat everyone with sumptuous dishes prepared by three chefs who were kind enough to grant our request to create something delectable for family and friends to enjoy during the holidays.
Under our project called “Treats,” we present to you the videos of chefs Lara Dizon, Bruce Lim, and Sheilla Lopez whipping up their easy but delicious dishes. Watch them at Philstar.com and on The Philippine STAR Facebook page. Chef Lara of Open Table Restaurant in Quezon City chose to do Shrimp Aglio Olio for STAR readers and followers because of its minimal ingredients and very short cooking time. “Ang dali-dali lang gawin, kahit sa bahay kayang-kaya gawin, ’di ba? (It’s so easy to do, even at home.) ’Yung shrimp, if you are allergic, change to chicken breast. Walang problema. Make sure that you season it to your liking,” chef Lara says. For chef Bruce, who runs Rustique Kitchen in Makati City, Fish Escabeche is the perfect treat for everyone because “it reminds me of Philippine Christmas.”
“It’s colorful and kids are going to love it because it has pineapples in it. Plus, I kept it whole so you have luck and prosperity for the New Year,” chef Bruce shares.
Chef Sheilla prepared Pineapple Fried Rice along with Salt and Pepper Pork since “we Filipinos love rice and pork” for our feasts.
Watch her graciously cook these dishes right inside her Fundamental Kitchen by Berghoff.
