Current Issue
Editor's note
Destination: Davao
Being a homegrown food and lifestyle magazine, we just love exploring the many amazing cuisines our country has, from north to south. And we’ll never cease to do it again and again… In a way, it's our tribute to this collective mix of cultures that we proudly call "Filipino." And Davao is certainly a place that's booming with foodie adventures.
Give Davao City a couple of years more and it's bound to offer the current movers and shakers in the Philippine culinary scene a run for their money. Thanks to Davao Tourism Association, Ms. Mary Ann Montemayor of KONKORDANS and Marco Polo Hotel Davao.
On top of that, we are excited about the many new things that Appetite is offering you, starting with this issue. We have two new columns by veterans in the industry. Dorothy BITES, with culinary instructor Dorothy Ferreria, features this expert's choices in dining spots, kitchen gadgets and ingredients at not necessarily high-end prices. Ines Cabarrus, wine and beverages instructor at Enderun Colleges, will surely get us tipsy and high with her encyclopedic knowledge and passion for the Drink. Our friends in the five-star hotel circuit are gearing up to give you the dish on their goings on for every season in a new section called F&B!
Finally, we pay homage to a very familiar face in the food industry, Ms. Norma Chikiamco, whose body of work is an inspiration to all us food magazines that came after her own brave effort to be a pioneer in this niche industry. Good friend Dorothy Ferreria chats her up and finds out for us what's next for her.

Food Notes
Meanwhile, as we indulge your palates with irresistible cuisines, here are some exciting notes we’ve received from our loyal readers…
Dear Appetite,
My first copy of Appetite was the October-November 2004 issue— the first issue! Since then, I have always looked forward for the next issue. I really love everything in your magazine! I am the Outlet Manager of the Cafeteria at International School Manila (ISM) at The Fort and Appetite has been a reference material for my menu planning and my catering. I also love Herbivore by Jason Baker because it’s very informative, which really helps because we have many vegans at ISM.
I re-read the Editor’s Note in your first issue and realized that we do share the same thoughts about food, and Appetite is indeed very useful, entertaining and fulfilling. Through the years, I can say that all of Appetite’s objectives have been successfully carried out. However, I do miss the Fiction section you used to have by Nicolas Pichay. And I’m still hoping that Appetite will be a monthly magazine!
More Power!

Hi Appetite!
I fell head-over-heels in love with your wonderful feature on wedding cakes! (“Sweet Genius”/ Profile/ Appetite June-July 08/ Written by Annie Z. Nisce and Rachelle Ismael/ Photographed by Paola Aseron, Raneil Ibay, Ed Simon, Zac Moran). The photos were breathtaking and the stories behind the masterpieces were very interesting and inspiring, especially because I dream of one day becoming a successful cake decorator myself. Thank you so much for such a great feature and keep it up!
