A one-of-a-kind culinary competition challenges chefs and cooks to whip up delectable mayo dips that will win Filipinos’ hearts and taste buds.
Unilever Food Solutions Philippines, the maker of Lady’s Choice spread, launches the Choice of the Nation, a search for the best dip recipe in the country.
“With an overwhelming number of choices for dining out today, we at UFS want to help chefs and cooks innovate to make their dishes stand out,” said James Benedict Carreon, managing director of UFS.
He continued, “This is why through Choice of the Nation, we will showcase how the versatility of Lady’s Choice can inspire chefs and cooks to innovate and elevate the taste of their dishes just by whipping up a delectable dip that will change diners’ experience.”
Choice of the Nation is open to all chefs and cooks in the Philippines. Aspiring participants simply have to whip up one special dip recipe using Lady’s Choice Real Mayonnaise and upload it on www.ladyschoiceofthenation.com.
They need to upload the full recipe and name, the description of the dip, and one to three mouthwatering photos of their entry. All entries are welcome until June 30.
All submitted dip recipes will be qualified for the online voting period for diners which will run from July 1 to 31. The top 10 chefs and cooks with the highest votes will showcase their dip innovations to the competition’s esteemed set of judges and avid foodies at the Choice of the Nation cook-off in August.
Some of the country’s esteemed chefs such as Fernando Aracama, Rob Pengson, Sau del Rosario, Kalel Chan, and Joanne Gendrano will judge the top 10 finalists according to the following criteria: taste, food presentation, creativity and innovation, audience votes, and the proper use of Lady’s Choice infused in each dip creation.
The champion will bag a cash prize of P100,000, including free publicity features and a special gift pack from UFS and Lady’s Choice. The first and second runners-up will take home P80,000 and P50,000, respectively, plus special gift packs from UFS.
