It's more fun with McCormick Filipino recipe mixes!
By Candice Macalino
Special to The Post
It's more fun in the Philippines", a fitting slogan heralded by the Philippine Department of Tourism to express the country's fun-loving culture. With McCormick's line of eleven Filipino spice blends, cooking can be more fun when using their Filipino recipe mixes!
Fast, easy and convenient, you can recreate and experience Pinoy flavours like adobo, sinigang, asado, caldereta, curry, menudo and pancit canton at home. The best part is most of the McCormick Filipino recipe mixes (except the pancit canton for now) have no added MSG, yummers!
With McCormick's extensions of their adobo and sinigang spice mixes, there is a flavour blend for everyone. The adobo recipe mixes come in Classic (original salt & peppery tartness), Pula (added peppery achuete seasoning with orange colouring) and Puti (minus the soy sauce but more tart & peppery). The Sinigang recipe mixes offer Classic (original sour tamarind-based soup), Rosemary & Chili (aromatic pine flavouring & heat) and Lemongrass (added tartness) combinations.
I've cooked and tried all eleven McCormick Filipino spice mixes, and I'm hooked! I found that the mixtures are versatile and can be easily incorporated in meals you already know and love. You will get the familiar delicious memories of Filipino home-cooking without compromising on time, money or calories.
I’m thrilled to announce that Candice’s Cusina is partnering with McCormick (also known as Club House in Canada) to develop convenient, fusion dishes by using their Filipino recipe mixtures. To commemorate Philippines Independence Day on June 12, we'll be launching the McCormick Filipino recipe mixes and offer in-booth food sampling at the International Summer Night Market in Richmond on June 1 from 7:30 pm - 11:30 pm.
When you visit the booth, I will talk to you about how easy it is to make my McCormick adobo chicken wings. You will also get the opportunity to sample the wings, receive a free McCormick Filipino seasoning mix pack, recipe cards with discount coupons and a chance to enter to win a raffle prize!
As your McCormick Pinoy Mix Girl, I look forward to showing you how simple it is to infuse these classic Filipino spice flavours into your everyday meals like my adobo chicken wings, and adobo chicken pizza.
