Dispelling the Fear of Frozen Foods
smoked salmon
“People didn’t believe in frozen food,” started Gerald Egasse, a French food industry veteran whose experience in France and French Africa led him to the Philippines, “but frozen is mostly defrosted food, thawed in transit, then frozen again at home.”
Quality is lost from the time of purchase until the product reaches the home kitchen. “Undergoing multiple temperature changes from the market and multiple defrosting robs food of quality,” he explained, “worse, when they’re stored in less than −20°C.” Frozen food begins to deteriorate when temperatures go up, so maintaining its temperature is key: flash freezing at the source and keeping in negative temperature from storage to delivery. Only Gerald.ph does that in the Philippines!
Gerald’s Most Recommended Bestsellers
From the Butcher Shop, Gerald recommends lamb leg (bone in), a big chunk of meat perfect for celebrations, not only on Father’s Day on June 20 but also for all of those occasions and holidays where people come together. Available in 2.4-3.2 kilograms, you can get your leg for P1,795 frozen and vacuum-packed from Australia. Great covered in butter and filled with rosemary sprigs before roasting for two hours at 180°C.
Whole salmon fillet (skin on) from the Seafood section is best for grilling with lettuce and roasting with butter and herbs. Rich in omega 3 fatty acids and very good for the heart, each 1.8-2.0 kilograms pack from Chile or Norway costs P1,880. Scallops are so versatile that the Galicians bake it with bread crumbs, ham, and onions; the Japanese serve it in soup or topped on rice; and, the French cook it à la nage in broth flavored with herbs and wine or sautéed, grilled, or broiled in skewers or en brochette.
From the Bakery comes ready-to-bake butter croissant dough in packs of six. For P320, you can enjoy authentic French croissants baked right in the comfort of your home. Watch Gerald bake one on their YouTube channel.
