Last July 26th, we were invited by FOOD Magazine, the country’s largest selling culinary magazine, to welcome their new Editor-in-Chief, Anna Marie “Nana” Ozaeta.

Nana Ozaeta promises more exciting features for all the food lovers out there from FOOD Magazine. And along with the interesting changes is the magazine’s new look. Here’s their August 2011 cover:

As you can see, the name of the magazine is more colorful and the layout is more enticing.

The welcome party happened in The Stock Market in Bonifacio High Street. We’ve already been there when we were introduced to the new and yummier menu of the restaurant, all conceptualized by Chef Boom Jota. So, we knew we’re going to love what they were serving us for lunch.

The food were all served family-style so these are not the actual serving presentations and portions:

Sassy Spring Rolls
Crispy egg roll stuffed with tuna, spinach, onions, cream cheese

Southern Chicken Burger
Herbed flavor chicken fillet, smoked turkey, and provolone cheese.

Penne Pesto
Basil cream sauce served over penne pasta topped with parmesan flakes chicken strips, broccoli and fresh arugula. This is the actual serving you’d get when you order.

La Sorbonne
Duo of fruits (bananas, mangoes) with crepe, vanilla ice cream topped with Hershey’s chocolate syrup.

We were joined by fellow bloggers, media people, staff, editors and writers of FOOD Magazine, and Nana Ozaeta’s family and friends.

We were both excited to finally meet Smarla of Everyday Sweet Notes, one of the food blogs I follow and love reading. 🙂

Go grab a copy of FOOD Magazine at your favorite bookstore or newsstand for your dose of culinary discoveries, recipes and features. 🙂
