A stylish source of family bonding

MANILA, Philippines - Many of the best moments shared by a family are fostered in the kitchen — in between bites of the sumptuous dishes fashioned from generation-tested recipes.

At the heart of any home is the warming welcome of a kitchen. Perhaps the most commonly used portion in the house, the kitchen is the launch point for family and friends to bond and create lasting moments. With great meals, a well-appointed kitchen is a great source of pride for many Filipinos. The kitchen mirrors the level of success a person has accomplished through its architecture, furnishings, decor and cooking equipment. Not only must a proper kitchen be stylish, but be exceptionally functional as well. This balance between sense and sensibility has always been a topic of debate, which can be easily answered by one well-known brand of cookers and ovens.
