Cooking for the ones you love

CEBU, Philippines - New original TV series "Cooking for Love" aims to win hearts from the belly up!

This September, two cooks will prove that the best way to a person's heart is through his or her stomach - in Asian Food Channel's (AFC) latest original series, "Cooking for Love."  The series features AFC Food Hero Sarah Benjamin and Malaysian celebrity cook Nik Michael Imran, as they try to outdo each other to create enticing menus for that special family occasion. "Cooking for Love" premiered yesterday, September 8, at 10 p.m. on AFC in Cignal - channel 26, Dream Satellite - channel 27,  and on SkyCable - channels 22 (SD), 248 (HD).

In each episode, Sarah and Nik is presented with a challenge to cook an inspired meal for an upcoming family occasion. Ranging from an elaborate birthday bash for loving siblings to a romantic dinner for two, Sarah and Nik create a delicious menu based on their guests' "briefs." At the end of each episode, the families pick which cook's food has won over their stomachs and taste buds.

Commenting on the new series, Sarah Benjamin said, "'I've had so much fun filming "Cooking for Love" with Nik and the families. Each week we are presented with new challenges, some of which are quite unusual, and there is a lot of pressure to make sure that we create a menu that is not only delicious but also suits our guests' varying palates."      

“Cooking for Love” is accompanied by an exclusive digital series featuring Sarah and Nik teaching viewers how to replicate their main course dishes at home. Two episodes are uploaded each week onto the series website (www.asianfoodchannel.com/cookingforlove) where viewers can also find latest program information, recipes and images.
