Dear Chefs and Members,
Season's Greetings!
December 8, 2021-- Last Wednesday, members and friends gathered online for LTB Philippines Chefs Association's Annual Christmas Party.
LTB President Chef Carlo Miguel cheerily welcomed the attendees of the last Digital Dinner event of the year. Chef Carlo kicked off the party with an optimistic speech for the new year ahead, thanked our ever-generous sponsors and wished everyone warm Christmas wishes on behalf of the Board of Directors.
Unilever Food Solutions Philippines Executive Chef, Chef Kenneth Cacho, also shared a few words on behalf of the UFSPh team and talked about the festive "Flexitarian" menu they prepared with UFS's newest brand, The Vegetarian Butcher. He then passed the mic to The Vegetarian Butcher's Chains and Marketing, Ms.Sarina Morales, to formally introduce TVB's exciting plant-based product line to the members. TVB is expected to be launched to the market in the first quarter of 2022.
In the Christmas dinner kits, members received a lavish 6-course spread that included a chili & beans "No Beef" stew with granny smith-jalapeno jam and herb lavash, chicken "No Chicken" pie with morels, peas, pickled vegetables, mesclun, and cider dressing, pumpkin soup & spiced yogurt with glazed "No Turkey" - sage sausage in a sourdough bread bowl, post-oak-smoked U.S. beef brisket & U.S. short plate beef candies with potato-yeast buns, coleslaw, and cheese corns. For dessert, a peanut butter & banana trifle with candied pecans, marshmallows, apricot and vanilla cream, and a trio of strawberry and dark chocolate, maple and bacon, and peanut butter and jelly alfajores. The members were encouraged to creatively plate their Christmas dinners as part of one of the event's contests organized by the UFS Culinary Team.
As promised, many prizes were won at the party! Several attendees donated more prizes on the spot for the e-raffle! Thank you very much to everyone who joined the contests and games! Thank you also to our raffle prize donors: Gilbert Lee, Nelson Co, Jackie Po, Rommel Hinlo, Quito Jose, James Antolin, Margarita Marty, and J Gamboa for making the evening more fun!
