Since its launch, www.AnchorRecipes.com has had only one goal in mind: to
share the secrets to great cooking. The Anchor family has opened it books of recipes passed on from generation to generation for everyone to enjoy, share and celebrate. And now, just as before, www.AnchorRecipes.com is on a quest to search for new, mouth-watering recipes. Last November 26, www.AnchorRecipes.com together with Yehey! held the first ever CONNOISSEUR DUELS: THE GRAND FOOD BATTLE, at Magsaysay Institute of Hospitality and Culinary Arts, Makati.

13 known food bloggers were invited to test their culinary skills in this special
food blogger competition. Grouped into two teams, the bloggers were tasked to whip up a full meal of three courses, all revolving around one secret ingredient: Anchor!

Armed only with creativity, resourcefulness and their unique palettes, the two groups got ready for one exciting culinary challenge. Each team was given only one hour to prepare everything. And to add to the challenge, they had to prepare all three dishes with a limited set of ingredients! And after one hour, the two teams were able to come up with brilliant creations!

Appetizer
The yellow team prepared an all-time Filipino favourite, Sopas which was made creamier with Anchor Butter and Culinary Cream.

The red team answered back with an Italian dish. Their Meatless Spaghetti Bolognese was made with tomato sauce, mushrooms and Anchor Culinary Cream, topped with Parmesan Cheese.

Main Course
Cream dory fried with Anchor butter with creamy garlic garnish was yellow team’s main course dish.

The red team also prepared a dish with Dory. Deep fried Dory topped with Anchor Culinary Cream and lemon.

Dessert
The yellow team finished off their 3-course meal with two desserts: Fruit Salad made with Anchor Cream and Fruit Salad with Broas made with Anchor Cream and Anchor Spreadable Butter.

The red team finished theirs with Russian Apple Salad, with generous servings of chopped apples and peaches topped with Anchor Cream and Parmesan Cheese.

But the challenge wasn’t over. Each team had to present their dishes to a panel of three judges: Chef Juan Miguel Borja, Senior Chef Instructor MIHCA, Leah Barin, Fonterra Brands Phils. Food Service Manager and Chef Dorothy Ferreira, a well- known pastry chef.
