The country’s favorite cooking gas Solane
has crowned the first winner of Cuisinera Challenge: 30 Minute Easy Recipe, a
search for the tastiest homemade dishes that won over judges during the
cook-off event at The Cookery Place in Bonifacio Global City.
Out of 22 finalists, Maridel Pacleb’s
original recipes emerged as the most outstanding entries in the competition.
Pacleb presented the judges with two original culinary creations: For the
Regional Dish category that featured native Filipino recipes, she concocted the
Buttered Pork Tenderloin Adobo in Parsley Garlic Cream Sauce. Given the secret
ingredient tablea in the Market Basket category, Pacleb served Chicken Roulade
with Spicy Tablea Chocolate Sauce.
Addressing the contestants, Solane general manager
for supply and operations Jaypee Gonzales said, “Solane goes beyond providing
safe LPG tanks by helping budding cooks in their journey to concoct the most
delicious homemade dishes. It is admirable that the finalists made it this far
using technique and imagination to create wonderful dishes.”
She took home Best in Regional Recipe, Best
in Presentation (Market Basket) awards, and the Grand Prize, which included
P30,000 and a one-year supply of Solane LPG. Standout home recipes were also made
by Fe Merluza (Best in Market Basket Recipe) and Joy Marie Crabajal (Best in
Presentation – Regional Recipe). Other finalists were John Paul Lumiguen, Jac
Abadia, Honeylyn Bonagua-Agulto, Leonidas Gabe Manayaga, Jelanie Tamayo, Denise
Christine Gonzales-Bernardo, Maria Luisa Juanson, Perly Antido and Joemar Ray
Castro, who also took home gift packs from Solane.
The panel of judges, which included Solane
marketing head Carisse Vendiola and promotions and research manager Valeri
Batenga, was led by renowned chef Edith Singian while contestants came from as
far as Cebu and Pangasinan. Solane hopes to see more faces to promote food as
the binding force of all families with the Cuisinera Challenge: 30 Minute Easy
Recipe next year.
