Start the year off right and improve one’s overall well-being with nutritious and mouthwatering dishes via GMA Network and Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation’s (APC) newest cooking show Eat Well, Live Well. Stay Well.
Every week, join “Mamazing” Iya (Iya Villania-Arellano) as she discovers and learns delicious and healthy recipes with the help of “Chef Cuz” (Jose Sarasola).
Eat Well, Live Well. Stay Well. is a 10-minute cooking show which aims to inspire the audience to cook through their stories and discover themselves through food. Follow Mamazing’s character, a bubbly and modern mom who strives to improve her cooking skills and adapt to the new normal while still putting her family as her top priority.
As a hands-on mommy and fitness enthusiast herself, Iya wishes to encourage her fellow parents to cook up nutritious and delightful meals for their families, “We all know how a good meal can bring the whole family together. A good meal always makes everyone happy. So, for the mamas and papas who are all at home juggling work and preparing meals for their families, here’s a show that can give them great tasting meal ideas that will make them feel great and confident in putting simple, yummy, and quick dishes using the versatility of AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Seasoning and AJI-GINISA® Flavor Seasoning Mix.”
Chef Jose, in turn, is beyond grateful to be the resident chef of the show and hopes to inspire the viewers to live a healthier lifestyle, “I’m super excited for this project! It’s my first time doing this kind of cooking show and being picked by a well-known food company like Ajinomoto Philippines Corp. to be the show’s resident chef was really something. Since we are in a time when health must be our top priority, the recipes we have prepared for our viewers are perfect for those who wish to be fit and to start eating healthier this year.”
The pilot episode, which aired on Jan. 8, featured Mamazing Iya trying out the cooking skills that she learned from Chef Cuz by preparing a quick and low salt recipe, Shrimps in Roasted Vegetables. A proud achievement that she wanted to share with friends and family.
