An Exciting New Beginning with Breakfast Magazine

Breakfast Magazine

Aside from our love for food, Ken and I also share a passion for writing. As far as I can remember, I’ve always kept a journal or a notebook where I write my deepest thoughts and a few random things. Ken also has a knack for writing and, in fact, he was the one who wanted to put up his own blog first, but I beat him to it. With all that said, it’s been a dream of ours to be published in a broadsheet or a magazine. And this year, we fulfilled it. We’re glad to be part of Breakfast Magazine.

Breakfast Magazine is now available at news stands and bookstores - CertifiedFoodies.com

Breakfast Magazine is the newest foodie publication in the Philippines today. You might be thinking that all we talk about in the mag is breakfast, what people generally consider the most important meal of the day. The magazine is all about food – may it be breakfast, lunch, dinner or the enjoyment of food  in between.

The maiden issue of Breakfast Magazine was launched this month. It’s a bi-monthly publication and every issue, we follow a theme. For February and March, it was just expected that it’s all about love and food. :)

Food Bloggers have their own section in Breakfast Magazine - CertifiedFoodies.com

When we were approached to be part of Breakfast Magazine, we were excited about it, but wondered if we are ready. This food blog will only turn 2 this year (we have a giveaway coming up!), but we are indeed touched by the overwhelming support we’re getting from fellow certified foodies. We love blogging and writing, but we thought coming up with articles for a magazine is a completely different ballgame. But, we brushed those doubts aside and we agreed.

FOOD Magazine Introduces New Editor in Chief

Last July 26th, we were invited by FOOD Magazine, the country’s largest selling culinary magazine, to welcome their new Editor-in-Chief, Anna Marie “Nana” Ozaeta.

Nana Ozaeta promises more exciting features for all the food lovers out there from FOOD Magazine. And along with the interesting changes is the magazine’s new look. Here’s their August 2011 cover:

As you can see, the name of the magazine is more colorful and the layout is more enticing.

The welcome party happened in The Stock Market in Bonifacio High Street. We’ve already been there when we were introduced to the new and yummier menu of the restaurant, all conceptualized by Chef Boom Jota. So, we knew we’re going to love what they were serving us for lunch.
