EA Guzman finds joy in cooking this COVID season
JUST like many of us, another Kapuso artist who finds joy in doing household chores amid quarantine is EA Guzman.
While their taping for their projects are still on hold, EA narrates that he has learned to love doing different household activities while on quarantine and one of the things he has learned and happily doing now is cooking.
He revealed that since the ECQ started, he became more focused on many house works. “Now, I have time to help my mom in washing the clothes and to keep my room spic and span.”
“And I have learned so many things from her expecially in cooking. I would watch her how to cook our dinner, I ask her about the ingredients, I watch how she does the step by step procedure, and I ask her how to cook the recipe, what are the ingredients.”
Since he is already into cooking, he started making business out of it thru “Adobong Tuyo ni Mommy Sarrie,” which is from her mother’s cooking.
And the Kapuso actor is grateful because their customers are now patronizing their product even at their first attempt of selling, and they have a successful dry run recently. In fact, their reservations are already fully-booked for the next coming weeks.
