Holiday Jams from The
Berry Dream is a lovely mix of blueberry and strawberry fruits with a subtle hint of violet flowers inspired by Pierre’s childhood memories of violet candy. “ It is more a typical “winter” jam that eaten when those fruits aren’t in season. The uniqueness of that jam comes from the violet flower aroma. As child I used to eat violet candy, and it has a very special taste to me.” While Tropical Paradise is the result of over six months of testing to achieve the perfect balance of textures and flavors of passion fruit, pineapple and mango.
Both jams are bottled in unique and exclusive wave glass jars specially made for this year’s holiday line. The ‘wave’ idea hit Pierre during his yearly visit back to France. ‘Last June after having eaten at Carette Patisserie in the very high end 16th arrondissement, I walked across to the stunning Madeleine Church and was attracted by a very colorful shop window. I knew this outlet for many years and it does not fail to impress me for what they can do with basic food products. The bottles and other packaging they had in the window were stunning. It inspired me to make the wave bottles for our jams.’ The ‘artsy’ bottles can be stacked one on top of the other and are pretty enough to be used for other things.
The Fruit Garden jams are available at :
New World Hotel Chocolatier lobby outlet, Makati
Dusit Thani Hotel lobby Gourmet outlet, Makati
Hyatt hôtel Manila, Patisserie Boutique
Market Deli, Tiffany Place P Leviste Street, Salcedo village

Monde Nissin launches book compilation on everyday intimacy at the family dining table
Monde Nissin, which began Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga in 2007, an advocacy that reminds Filipino families of the importance of having shared meals together, launches Famealy Matters: 50-Plus Stories of Everyday Intimacy at the Family Dining Table, a book compilation featuring well-known personalities and their stories about sharing memorable meal time moments with their respective families.
“Meal times provide opportunities for members of the family to sit around one table, share the same food, and listen to each other’s stories,” says Gen Aquino, Monde Nissin Media and Public Relations Manager. “And because many Filipino families today are guilty for taking such moments for granted, we at Monde Nissin wish to remind them of the joys that come with sharing meals together, through Famealy Matters.”
The book compilation contains more than 50 personal meal time stories of prominent personalities from different industries, including Vice President Jejomar Binay and Tourism Secretary Mon Jimenez, religious leaders Archbishop Antonio Tagle and pastor Peter Tan Chi, showbiz celebrities Sharon Cuneta and Kris Aquino, and network tycoons Atty. Felipe L. Gozon of GMA 7, Gabby Lopez of ABS-CBN, and Butch Jimenez of PLDT, among others.
From the outrageous topics they talk about with their children to the exotic dishes they’ve tried and tasted together, these personalities tell all as they share what goes on at their dinner tables. Some would opt to prepare the meals themselves; others would prefer to take their children out to different places and experience new cuisines together.
A lot of these contributors would admit that with their hectic schedules, sharing meals together becomes quite difficult to achieve, especially with all kinds of social, economic, and technological factors contributing to the decline in the frequency of family dining. Most families have both parents working, with their children busy with school and extracurricular activities, resulting in each family member having to eat in their own time.
But whatever it is they do to make their meal time moments more special, these parents make the necessary effort and take time to dine with their children because to them, shared meals are opportunities to reconnect, laugh together, and offer support to each other. It provides the daily solidification of the family unit where each person is recognized and validated.
“At the end of it all, it’s nice to know that even these well-known celebrities and personalities go out of their way just to be able to gather their family together and sit down at the dining table,” says Famealy Matters publisher Francis Kong. “Famealy Matters is a touching collection of personal narratives that make us realize how the gratification and benefits we get from sharing meals with the family is worth it.”
And it’s also good and timely that last January, President Benigno Aquino III, released Presidential Proclamation 326, which christens every 4th Monday of September every year as Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga day, in support of Monde Nissin’s advocacy that believes in the power of eating together as a simple but effective means for Filipino parents to raise happy, healthy, and successful children.
Famealy Matters: 50-Plus Stories of Everyday Intimacy at the Family Dining Table is available at National Book Store, Powerbooks, or through Anne Cristobal of Success Options Inc. (727-0291, 0920-9253348, or successoptionsinc@yahoo.com).

Roche Bobois has just opened a first showroom in
People will discover the French Art de vivre-“way of life” that the prestigious brand represents.
History
Roche Bobois is a story of two families, the Roches and the Chouchans.
The Roches purchased the old Alexandre Dumas theater on rue de Lyon and created their Parisian showroom.
At this time, the Chouchans were selling furniture in
From this union of these 2 families in 1960, the Roche Bobois brand was born and has now grown to become a worldwide corporate and franchising network.
A Company in Expansion
Roche Bobois, a global leader in high-end furniture design and distribution, is a dynamic company in development.
With sales amounting to €380 million in 2011, Roche Bobois is now present in 45 countries with a network of 250 exclusive stores. As a testimony to the brand’s dynamism, Roche Bobois opens one store in the world per month. In 2011, Roche Bobois opened 13 new showrooms. Recent international openings include those in
Each new showroom reflects the spirit of the brand through its interior architecture, the selected models and the collections displayed, and the quality of the proposed services.
Design and Concept
Every Roche Bobois furniture is an outstanding piece that exudes a unique character and is inspired by multiple personalities: The personality of the creator who designed it, with his sense of talent and ingenuity; and your personal touch of freedom and creativity. Customization can be done in any detail as we give you choices on dimensions, colors, leathers, woods and finishes. Each furniture piece is unique, exclusive, and truly created for you.
As a true testimony to its dynamism, Roche Bobois launches twice a year an exclusive new collection and proudly ranks among the most cutting edge, high-end furniture brands with an international reputation.
Since the beginning, Roche Bobois collaborates with world-class designers such as Hans Hopfer, the French designers Pierre Paulin and Marc Berthier, and most recently, with some iconic designers such as Vladimir Kagan (Comète) or Paola Navone (Ping Pong) who created outstanding collections for the brand. Roche Bobois also works with a new wave of talented young designers including Christophe Delcourt (Legend), Sacha Lakic (Speed Up), Stéphane Lebrun (Assemblage), Cédric Ragot (Cute Cut), Daniel Rode (Furtif) or recently Ora-Ito. Roche Bobois also teams up with fashion icons like Kenzo, Missoni, Ungaro, Jean Paul Gaultier, and this year, Sonia Rykiel.
Roche Bobois is also committed to a comprehensive approach of eco-design which respects refined materials and the world around us. Roche bobois is working to improve and considers seeking ways to reduce its impact on our environment as one of its core values.
All the Roche Bobois models are exclusively manufactured in Europe (
The company’s reputation for guaranteed quality and its exclusively European manufacture are additional contributing factors to its strong performance.
Throughout the years, Roche Bobois has been the pioneer in the field of eco-designs and concepts (Legend collection, Horizon, Assemblage).
The Collections
RocheBobois has been producing fine furniture for 50 years, offering exclusive “haute couture” designs for two main collections: Les Contemporains and Nouveaux Classiques. Both collections are renewed twice a year.
Les Contemporains is a range of bold and innovative furniture drawing inspiration from the modernist classics. Les Contemporains comprises furniture, lighting, art and accessories for every room in the house and reflects Roche Bobois’ keen eye for detail. In many ways, Les Contemporains epitomizes the true essence of modern French living.
With designs inspired by
Nouveaux Classiques offers the authenticity of heritage which reflects the solid values and quality of craftsmanship associated with Roche Bobois. Robust, comfortable and luxurious, each piece is truly an expression of the Roche Bobois “way of life” and offers a lifetime of enjoyment.
