Regine Velasquez says cooking just like singing: ‘You can have your own version’

Matapos makilala bilang isang magaling na singer at aktres, gumagawa naman ng marka sa larangan ng culinary arts ang Asia's Songbird at Kapuso host-actress na si Regine Velasquez.

Kasunod ng kaniyang cooking/talk show na “Sarap Diva,” na apat na taon nang napapanood sa GMA, ang paglulunsad ng kaniyang kauna-unahang cookbook na “Bongga Sa Kusina” nitong Linggo, July 17.

Sa panayam ng GMA News Online, inamin ni Regine na hindi niya inaasahan na magkaroon din ng pangalan pagdating sa pagluluto.

“I feel very blessed that I'm given all opportunities to do all the things I love. First, in singing, I just wanted to be a recording artist, but I was given the chance to do concerts. I was given a chance to host, direct my own concert, produce my own concert, produce my own album. Ngayon, nag-aacting pa, nagso-soap and movies,” aniya.

Dagdag pa ng Kapuso singer-host-actress, “Now, since I'm a mom and I feel in love with cooking, binigyan din ako ng chance ng GMA to have a cooking show, and now, a book. So, I just feel very blessed.”

Aniya, naging natural sa kaniya ang pagbuo ng iba't ibang putahe sa kusina pagkatapos ng sandaling pag-aaral at panonood ng mga cooking show at tutorials sa internet.

Inihalintulad pa nga ng Asia's Songbird ang pagluluto sa pag-awit, na itinuturing niya umanong “first love” niya.

“You can make everything your own. Sa singing, kahit kaninong kanta, puwede mong kantahin and you can make your own version. For me, it's the same thing with cooking. If you see a particular recipe, you can twist it and make it different. Depende sa taste na gusto mo. You can make it your own,” paliwanag ni Regine.

Pagtatapos niya, “You have to keep cooking, and then masasanay ka. Eventually, you'll come up with dishes na hindi mo alam kung saan nanggaling. You just need to fin your inspiration. Mine is my family.” —NB/JST, GMA News
