MANILA, Philippines - Chef Jeremy Favia was first seen on QTV 11’s Ka-Toque: Lutong Barkada, he has since added QTV’s Healthy Cravings (with Iza Calzado) and TV 5’s Alagang Kapatid to his growing list of TV projects.
His most recent show is TV 5’s Katok sa Cusina, where he and Tuesday Vargas raid ordinary kitchens and whip up sumptuous dishes using no ingredients other than what that kitchen already has. The show is aired at 10:20 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
“There were times when I’d be alone in the house. So when I got hungry, I’d naturally go to the ref. Sometimes there wasn’t anything that was already cooked, so I had to cook my own food,” chef Jeremy said. “I started with simple stuff – hotcakes, hotdogs – easy dishes.”
Today, outside of his TV programs, this chef with that boy-next-door face is also the spokesperson of Chef’s Classics by Sunnex Products Limited Hongkong. “Good cooking is not just about having the best and freshest ingredients. It’s also about using the right cookware,” he added.
For home cooking, chef Jeremy recommends Chef’s Classics’ Violet series. “Good pots and pans don’t have to be expensive, they just have to be good,” he said.
The Violet series combines practicality with functionality and aesthetics. Its light-but-sturdy aluminum body’s cooking surface is lined with high-quality non-stick DuPont Teflon, which not only lets you cook more healthily with less oil but also makes the pans much easier to clean.
For durability and safety, the pans’ handles are made not just of ordinary plastic but of a mixture of silicon and phenolic resin, which is a material used in making gaskets, washers, and bearings. This combination makes the handles not only safe to touch without a potholder but also more durable against extreme temperatures and physical or chemical damage.
The thick metal bottom of each pan is meticulously serrated to make sure it does not slide around over the stove while you’re cooking.
And as far as aesthetics are concerned, all saucepans, grill pans, casseroles, frying pans, and woks of the Violet series were made in Italy and were designed to suit the elegant-but-fashionable Italian taste. This brand of cookware will definitely bring class to your kitchen without sacrificing durability and affordability.
The Chef’s Classics Violet series is available at all leading department stores nationwide. To learn more about Chef’s Classics by Sunnex Products Limited Hongkong, visit them on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/ChefsClassics.
