The Gourmand Market 2.0

Once again, The Gourmand Market will be happening with a bigger and better concept just for all you foodies and taste connoisseurs. After its successful launch last March, the team behind TGM has taken even greater measure to make sure everyone has a taste of their favourite artisanal products and get everyone introduced to the new players in the industry. I am honoured that I was once again chosen to join the market and humbled that my bestseller cheese pimiento will have its special space once more.

The hardworking team behind TGM took the time out to curate this second run as best as they could and I’m very excited that the discriminating taste of the market goers will surely be fulfilled. The winning team behind the market are Trish Panlilio of NawwTy’s Kitchen, Dong Ronquillo, Dara David-Roa the COLLABCONTESSA and Julia Morales of Oliver&Maude. A lot of last markets merchants will be there too but here is a showing of the new vendors who are joining The Gourmand Market.

Here is Marco Rodriguez of XÁNCHO. Marco will be serving hot food to be eaten at the market and frozen versions to take home.

The sweet Cara Tantoco now has a space of her own. This hardworking young lady works hard on her red velvet and chocolate bundt cakes and loaves. I will miss sharing a space with this girl!
