We Filipinos really love fried foods a lot, it's always been around during celebrations. A perfect example would be this coming Christmas - Christmas dinners are a great time to try new wines with favorite recipes of old. Will it be fried chicken, ham, turkey, prime or roasted pig (lechon in Filipino dialect). I think some of the wine books will recommend a lighter red like a Pinot Noir or a Merlot or a terrific selection of versatile whites and reds that are sure to enhance your Christmas gathering and one would be The South African Chenin Blanc. This wine is not only sweet, but quite zesty. The zestiness is perfect with fried food especially the crispy chicken skin.Wine lovers, try this one and I'm pretty sure that you'll enjoy it a lot. Cheers!

Food lovers here's a Pizza Potatoes for your Amigos!

If you are planning to invite your friends at home for a simple treat, here is a simple suggestion that may be good and healthy for everyone …not a commercial one but one of its kind.

It’s called pizza potato. The idea is just like any ordinary pizza but its dough its prepared the way we prepare mashed potato.

First thing is to boil a kilo of potato until is well done and mash it. Put a little salt and pepper to taste then apply a little butter when mash and transferred on a round container such as a circular pyrex bowl which can be used for the microwave oven for the final preparation. Thickness of the potato dough may be at least half an inch thick. Set it aside as we are now ready to prepare the toppings of the pizza.

Next is to sauté a kilo of ground pork or beef, whatever your choice is, with garlic, onions, pepper and tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce if you can’t find pizza sauce in the supermarket. You may add other spices of your choice but be sure not to spoil the taste. The sauce may be adjusted to your taste. It is almost similar when you are preparing sauce for your spaghetti. After cooking the pork and sauce, just set it aside and prepare the toppings of your homemade pizza. Slice the following to your desired size:

• pineapple

• different sausages of your choice or pepperoni

• tomatoes

• mushroom

• bacon/salami or any kind of ham

• bell pepper

• quick melt cheese (but it is suggested that it is grated and sprinkled after everything is ready)

Get the potato dough and transfer your cooked ground pork on top of it and spread evenly. The ground pork that you spread should be estimated to your desired thickness. Afterwhich, spread the other toppings such as pineapple etc. on top of the ground pork.

Sprinkle your specially prepared pizza with Mcormick pizza spices (which you can buy in supermarkets) and cheese. You may add parmesan cheese or your choice of cheese to add more taste.

Finally, bake it in the microwave oven for at least eight minutes. It is suggested that you bake it before eating as the pizza is perfect when served hot.

Have fun!
