I'm now a certified Cuisinera

Last Saturday, I joined the prestigious club of Cuisineras and I'm so excited to meet and cook with them soon. :-)

CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS WITH DOÑA ELENA CUISINERA CLUB

It’s once again time for you to whip up your favorite recipe or boast about a new one! With dinners left and right this holiday season, Doña Elena invites you to be a Doña Elena Cuisinera and be a member of the club. It’s easy – if you have a Doña Elena Olive Oil, Doña Elena Al Dente pasta, or any Doña Elena Mediterranean product in your pantry, give us a shout-out on Facebook using #Doñaelenacuisineracluband you can claim to be a certified Doña Elena Cuisinera!

For over 7 years now, the Doña Elena Cuisinera Club has been a growing community of individuals who champion a healthy lifestyle without compromising the quality and flavor of food. Through cooking classes, nutrition talks and food tasting activities, the community is able to learn, cook, and share tips with each other. “Through the club, we aim to encourage and teach Cuisineras easy ways on achieving a healthier lifestyle through better nutrition which can be achieved through the use of Doña Elena products in their daily meals ,” shares Karen Saguiped, Fly Ace Corporation Product Manager for Noodles, Pasta, Condiments and Sauces.

“To be a club member, purchase both theDoña Elena Olive Oil and Al Dente Pasta products and keep the proof of purchase. Call Fly Ace Corporation at 807-9999 and look for Peter Geronimo or leave us a message through the Doña Elena Cuisinera Club Facebook fan page. You will then be guided on the next steps to confirm your membership,” continues Saguiped. 

What are the perks of being a club member? Get access to themed cooking classes. Two to three new dishes are taught by the Doña Elena resident chef, Golda Laurel Liamzon. A nutritionist is also present in every class to talk about the health benefits of the dishes being served. Aside from learning new recipes, members get to meet like-minded Cuisineras.

In 2010, the classes were themed according to the holidays such as Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day. In 2011, the cuisines of Mediterranean Countries such as Italy and Morroco were shared. The Philippine Festivals was the highlight in 2012 while in 2013, the recipes from International Celebrity Chefs inspired Cusineras to be their own gourmand. 

Cuisineras unite as they enjoy affordable international cuisine with Doña Elena’s wide selection of products sourced from the Mediterranean countries of Spain and Italy.Doña Elena provides for international flavors with a wide selection of products sourced from Spain, and Italy. Doña Elena Olive Oil is the consistent No. 1 Olive oil brand in the Philippines with its three variants Extra Virgin Olive Oil for salads, pizza and bread dips, Pure Olive Oil for your pasta, Italian and French Cuisines and Pomace Olive Oil for your other frying needs.

Whip up a Mediterranean feast with Doña Elena's line of Mediterranean products and add in Black and Green Olives, Capers, Flat Fillets of Anchovies, Spanish Sardines, and Canned Tomatoes. With these ingredients in your pantry, gourmet cooking is quick and convenient.

Doña Elena Al Dente is the only pasta brand in the Philippines bearing the Artisan Quality claim as it uses special bronze dies which create ridges that help sauces stick to the pasta better. Unlike other pasta with only 6% protein content, Doña Elena Al Dente has 13% protein, a result of the slow-cooking process which preserves its nutrients. Doña Elena Al Dente is also GMO-free, 100% certified all natural. It comes in five variants: Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Fusilli, Penne Rigate and Lasagna.

Last Saturday, for the Holiday Special event, we learned how to cook LenguaEstofado, Salmon Ceasar Salad, Mediterranean Lasagna, and Chocolate Chip Olive Oil Cookiesfrom Chef Golda Laurel Liamzon. 

Learn more about Doña Elena products and its nutritional benefits from Professor LuchieCallanta. Interactive booths around the venue will allow you to experience the products. Be a club member by purchasing both the Doña Elena Olive Oil and Al Dente Pasta products in the selling booth and sign up to be a member. Get a chance to win exciting raffle prizes too!
