Cooking Demo by Julius Maggi Kitchen’s Chef Tess Sutilo

Part of the Nestle Meet & Greet awhile ago was a cooking demo by Julius Maggi Kitchen Chef Tess Sutilo.

Julius Maggi Kitchen is a fully equipped kitchen located at the Nestle Center in Rockwell, Makati.  It is where recipes made with Nestle Products are developed & tested, cooking demonstrations are done here as well.

Chef Tess Sutilo is the person responsible for developing recipes for Nestle.  Cool, isn’t it?  Such a big responsibility & such talent that she has.  🙂

Let me share with you the demonstration by Chef Sutilo as well as the recipe of the 2 dishes she prepared.

3) Roll the fish in the flour mixture, making sure to coat the fillets evenly.
4) In a pan, heat pure vegetable oil and fry the fish until golden & crispy.
