āāYung culinary knowledge natin it belongs to the people. Kasi hindi naman orihinal na ideya na nanggaling sa akin. Hindi naman siya kaalaman na ako āyung nakadiskubre,ā says Chef Tatung.
āKung ako natutunan ko siya dahil may mga taong nagturo sa akin, may mga taongĀ nag-share sa akin, bakit ko ipagkakait sa tao na matuto din?āĀ
So, for those who are looking to elevate their Christmas feast or just searching for the perfect Secret Santa gift, Chef Tatung has you covered just in time.Ā
Simpol Kitchen Secrets will be out by November 30. This shall be followed by Baking Simpol two weeks later. Both books will be available locally and abroad through Lazada, Shopee, Amazon US, Amazon Canada, Amazon SG, and eBay.
The two titles shall be published under Vertikal Books, a boutique press specializing in the creative nonfiction genre, specifically culinary content.Ā
