Lea rates performance at the kitchen
August 8, 2010, 10:08am
Lea Salonga brims with excitement every time she talks about her
“performance” in the kitchen.
“I make sure every detail in the kitchen is taken care of – from
ingredients to equipment, and even in what I would wear,” jests the
Broadway star.
As a doting mom to four-year-old Nicole Beverly, Lea puts her heart on
her sleeve and takes pride in every dish she prepares: “Being a
performer, it has become natural for me to give a part of myself to
others – whether to the audience onstage, or to my family and friends.
Cooking is one of the ways I share special moments with my loved
ones.”
Just like performing, Lea has cooking secrets that she is just too
willing to share. “It all begins with getting the best ingredients. As
long as you stick to brands that have the seal of excellence, then
you’re good to go. For my chicken for instance, I would go only for
Bounty Fresh, because I am assured of its freshness.”
Does she eat a lot?
“Yes! I love Filipino food. I love chicken. So you could just imagine
when I get to prepare a really good-tasting meal for my family! There
is nothing like Pinoy chicken, believe me.”
