Current Issue
Editor's note
|  Five
years ago, we at Mega Publishing Group, knew that the food
industry was going to be the next big arena for lifestyle
features in publishing and TV shows. Hence, Appetite was born.
It would be the platform through which chefs, restaurants,
and foodies could all come together to create a distinct and
discriminating food lifestyle. Now five years later, we see
a proliferation of food magazines, newspaper features, and
countless television shows. Chefs have also reached celebrity
status as endorsers, TV stars, and authors. On a personal
note, it has been a fulfilling journey conceptualizing this
magazine and releasing its first issue in October 2004, then
bringing it from a bi-monthly to a monthly in 2009. I’ve
enjoyed every minute of it.
It is with gratitude that I now turn over the Editor in Chief
position to Lorraine Timbol, a stalwart in the food industry.
She is going to bring her breadth of experience in recipe
development and food styling to Appetite. Her first issue
as Editor-in-Chief will be in March. Watch out for it!
Meanwhile, enjoy this issue that is replete with sweet beginnings,
characteristic in this season of love and Chinese New year.
Farewell for now dear readers. It has been an honor.

Letters to the Editor
As we indulge your palates with irresistible cuisines,
here are some exciting notes we’ve received from our loyal
readers…
Hi, Appetite,
Thanks for the prize. I didn’t expect to win, but its true!
Thank you. I’ve always bought Appetite magazine since I first
read it. I really enjoy reading your every issue from cover to cover—and
in just one sitting, too You are a motivation for me. I learned
a lot of things from your mag. It features so many dishes and you
guys have done a great job in making sure that the issues are not
only entertaining and interesting highly informative, as well. I
finally have ideas on what’s in, other alternatives in cooking,
and of what cooking really means--to express your individuality.
Appetite offered me a new perspective and gave me the courage to
seek the dishes I want to cook. I’m glad there is Appetite
to make me feel like a chef in my kitchen. I cooked a fried chicken
using a recipe I picked from your mag and my husband liked it. Keep
up the excellent work! I have clipped and compiled those dishes
I really like. Thank you so much for being there.
Your truly one,
Cecille O Tambong

Dear Appetite,
I see that you are featuring more and more easy recipes, which
are a great addition to those always-super looking dishes
executed by Manila’s top chefs. Being a low-profile
housewife on a shoestring budget, I like your Easy Does It
for December (A Feast for the Festivities/Recipes prepared
and styled by Lorraine Timbol/Photographed by Mark Jacob).
I tried the pasta, roast pork and English trifle recipes for
my family holiday menu, and they were a smash! The ingredients
were easy to find, reasonably-priced but special enough for
a holiday treat. Thanks and hope to see more of these recipes
from you.
All the best,
Ana Lopez-Año
Pasig City
Great to hear from you, Ana. We’re sure Lorraine
Timbol will love to know that her recipes were a success in
your kitchen. We’ll make sure to tell her that.—Ed
