First Ever Out of Home Cooking Fair Blasts with Let's Cook Pare

First-ever gathering of home-cooks set last Dec 4 in Greenfield district Central park activity area!

As one of the pioneering community of home cooks in the country, brings the first-ever gathering of home-cooks, dubbed “Let’s Cook, Pare! First Out-of-Home Cooking Fair and Grand Family Day!

The Fair aims to replicate the effort to help its members that it extended at the height of the pandemic. I remember when I first joined Let's Cook Pare which relived my passion in cooking even with limited resources.

 

LCP, a non-government organization that started in Facebook became relevant to the cooking communityas quarantine cooking became one of every Filipinos anxiety outlet. During late evenings I would scroll endlessly to check out pictures and recipes from other members which shows true ingenuity of Filipinos.

The Sunday event is supported by Aguila Gourmet Meats, Condura, Fruitas, Glorious, Golden A, Hotel Sogo, Masflex Philippines, McCormick, Midea, Mother Nurture, Phoenix Super LPG, Premium ChoiceMeatshop, Sweet & Fit Stevia,Tocoms Philippines, Inc. for Russel Hobbs, Koizumi Philippines andPanasonic Small Appliances, Sunlife Financial, Easy Brand, Save ALL, Recycle PH, Eatsplorations ,Malaya Business Insight, Manila Standard, PEPTalk, Made it through Mum, What’s New Philippines,Frenzie, and The New Channel. 

The event has also highlighted homecooked products and other cooking ingredients and utensils of its homegrown Accredited Sellers, among them, Baba Black Chef, BrownRoots, Cordillera Landing on You (CLOY), Crafty Cuts, Eat Girls, Food Delight, Krav, Mang Itz Kebab, The Bistro Box, Sayonora, Sweetums Tasty Delight. 

 

 

With Pinoy Christmas Fiesta theme, a whole day of fun-filled activities await LCP members, their families and the public. Among the activities lined-up are the annual 14 Days of Christmas gift giving, 10 livelihood starter set for lucky members, home cooking challenge and demo, learning sessions for homebased entrepreneurs, and so much more! The livelihood starter kits will help 10 LCP private group community’s members to start their respective home-based business to augment their income during this challenging time.

And me, Arnie and Sophia joined in one of the main events wherein we had to upcycle food from ingredients provided to us ala masterchef. I like to cook and it became something I look forward to when I have the time so showing my skills in the kitchen was really exhilarating. We actually got first runner up! and we took home a griller from condura, some spices from McCormick and EasyPro! 

Let’s Cook, Pare! community became a creative outlet for its members and allowed them to get connected outside of their homes. The members actively participated in community discussions and shared their home cooked meals, taking advantage of a platform that allow them to flex their ‘creations’ and enjoy their dreams of living a ‘chef-life’.

Aside from helping its members, the LCP was also able to help the country’s SMES  and some corporate brands because of its accessibility online where they were able to sell food and other relevant kitchen/home cooking appliances, items, etc. A number of members here and abroad likewise shared that recipes they got from the community inspired them to start their own food selling business that allow them to have an alternative source of income.

Thank you so much to Let's Cook, Pare! for this wonderful opportunity to meet new people that has the same passion in cooking outside of the intrawebs hoping for more opportunities like this in the future! 

Much Love!
