Donita Rose admits that her passion for cooking has definitely changed the way she looks at life now.

After her separation from her husband of 12 years, this mommy chef now keeps herself busy with food tours that promote healthy eating habits.

“The most challenging,  difficult time in my life (her marriage breakup) is done. It’s like a book just closed, and I am on to a new chapter,” she says. “I was able to overcome my unhealthy eating habits because I used to turn to food for comfort. Before I entered culinary [school], there was a lot of stress … mahirap ang mga pinagdaanan ko.” —BELLE BONDOC-ROBERTO
