I've never really been into cooking. One time I attempted making chicken stock for Rain but instead I ended up with a burnt pot of nothingness. So whenever I try to cook something decent, I need all the shortcuts I can get. That's when Knorr steps in. Knorr really makes cooking so much easier, especially for moms like me who don't know the difference between a red onion and a white onion.
I can't believe
Knorrhas been around 175 years! And for their 175th anniversary, they are launching the
Knorr Kitchenhood Clinics. It's a fun cooking clinic that I very fortunately got invited to last week at
The Cookery Place!
Honestly I thought we were just there to cover the event and take photos. The usual. But then they whipped out a bag of Knorr aprons for everyone to wear, and we got to pair up with a partner, then pick the dish we were going to cook. It was so exciting I felt like I was in a Masterchef episode!

With us was Sari Jorge of 25 Mushrooms fame, who has an incredible fashion for food and is getting known as a "saviour" in the kitchen for housewives like me who struggle in preparing homemade meals. Basically, she makes cooking restaurant-quality meals in an easy way.
I teamed up with Joan (wife of
The Food Alphabet). We could not resist taking selfies with the apron haha! We were tasked to cook an Indonesian Chicken Satay (which I will be sharing the recipe of in a separate post).

| Marinating,threading, and cooking the chicken and beef satay |
Here's the kicker! For the sauce, we used Knorr Kare-Kare mix and Ginataang Gulay mix to substitute for peanuts and milk. Amazing! If this was served to me at a restaurant I honestly wouldn't have noticed the difference! it was really good!

Wait! The Knorr celebration doesn't end there! For Knorr's 175th anniversary, Knorr partners up with the World Food Program (WFP) to hold the Food for Change Event happening on October 19, 2013. It's a unique food fair event at Mercato Centrale, Fort Bonifacio Global City where you can enjoy tasting food samples cooked with Knorr. Over 50 concessionaires will be participating. With this event, Knorr and WFP aims to raise awareness on Global Hunger. That being said, proceeds generated from ticket sales will be matched by Knorr and will go to WFP.
So if you have time on October 19, have a food trip with Knorr for a casue! See you all there!
