Welcome to "Judy Ann's Kitchen"

CEBU, Philippines – Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo has released her first ever cookbook "Judy Ann's Kitchen." The book is the perfect cooking companion for those whose happiness is to serve their loved ones with the best and tastiest food. It is the product of her collaboration with National Book Store and Anvil Publishing.

"Judy Ann's Kitchen" is Juday's gift to her Filipino supporters. The book is divided into sections devoted to personal recipes that put another wholesome imprint on Judy Ann's personality - this time in the character of her home table. The classifications of the recipes include her comfort food, her cuisine as a wife and a mom, for easy entertaining, and a special section on healthy cooking and discoveries. These all give a hint of the notable features of the modern woman that Juday is.

The book highlights 44 recipes including Juday's signature dishes such as Angus Tapa Sandwich with BBQ Sauce, Grilled Shrimps with Jicama Salsa, Lemon Cake with Thyme and Lavender, Miswa Bona-Bona, Rainbow Cake, Sinigang na Munggo, Strawberry Mojito Cooler, and Triple Chocolate Champorado.

"There's truly something special about preparing meals for the people who matter in your life," Juday says. "I see that good food can put smiles on their faces, and I consider it an accomplishment that I am able to make people happy with the food I cook." She adds, "Ever since I can remember, I've always been into food. I guess my love affair for cooking began as early as when I was a child actress who would hitch a ride with the caterers and hang out in their kitchen."

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo is known for her successful soap operas in the past. She was also the host of the cooking shows "Master Chef Pinoy Edition" and "Junior Master Chef Pinoy Edition."
