There's a top chef in the kitchen! Or, to be more accurate about it, a top chef ’s concoction. A year ago, ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation Inc. chief Gina Lopez tapped a handful of celebrity chefs to contribute recipes for a line of natural, clean and healthy bottled gourmet goodies.

Now marketed under the G Stuff brand, these treats do not contain white sugar or white flour, chemicals or other preservatives—perfect for those who keep an eye on the provenance of their food. What’s more, you not only eat healthy, you also help our kapamilya in the small, far-off communities that produce the various ingredients that go into G Stuff products.
