Maine’s ‘happy Place’

Maine Mendoza finally opens up about her longtime love affair—with cooking, that is.

A Culinary Arts graduate from De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Maine enjoys experimenting with recipes in the kitchen, as it has been her “happy place” long before show biz beckoned.

Maine, who endorses food company Jolly, never strayed far from her “one true love,” as she is also running her fast-food outlet in her hometown.

“Adobo is my absolute favorite,” Maine says of cooking Filipino food. “It’s one of the easiest dishes that you can make any time.”
