CRAVE SIMPLY (by SARAH LAHBATI)

IPINAGMAMALAKI ng actress na si Sarah Lahbati na tagahanga siya ng cheesy at makapal na Swiss lasagna ng kanyang ina, kaya hindi kataka-takang nagsosyo ang anak at ang ina sa isang online business na tinawag nilang Crave Simply By Esther & Sarah.  Liban sa Swiss lasagna, masarap din ang version ni Mommy Esther ng biko at cassava cake.

Noong May 22, 2020, kasagsagan ng lockdown, inilunsad ni Sarah Lahbati ang Crave Simply, isang online food business na mga luto ni Mom Esther ang ibinibenta. Matagal nang comfort food ni Sarah ang nga luto ng Mommy niya kaya gusto niya itong i-share sa lahat.

“My mom has been cooking Swiss Lasagna ever since I was a kid. It’s my all-time favorite dish by her,” aniya. “From the smell of the baked Gruyère cheese to the first bite of its soft and crispy edges, Mom’s lasagna truly is a special meal.”

Sa umpisa, kasama lang nina Sarah at asawang si Richard Gutierrez, ang kanyang ina sa kanilang bahay sa Alabang habang naka-quarantine. Natural lamang na si Mom Esther ang natoka sa pagluluto para sa pamilya, lalong lalo na sa kanyang mga apong sina Zion, 7, at Kai, 1. Nagluluto rin naman kung minsan si Sarah, pero mas mahusay raw talaga ang kanyang ina.

“She would bake our favorite Swiss lasagna and we would all get excited for dinner,” sabi pa ni Sarah. “We all thought it would be a great idea for people to try my mom’s famous dish as well as her other signature dishes like OG (Original) Biko, Cassava Cake, Potato Gratin, baked shrimp pasta, etc. “We decided to launch our business in 2020.”

Kapamilya star na rin ngayon si Sarah tulad ng kanyang asawang si Ri­chard, pero sa ngayon ay nagko-concentrate muna siya sa kanyang mga anak. Gusto rin niyang magnegosyo, pero ang kanyang ina raw ang talagang may gustong magtayo ng sariling food business. Kaya sa halip na mainip ngayong panahon ng qua­rantine, tinupad ng mga anak ni Mommy Esther ang kanyang pangarap sa pamamagitan ng Crave Simply.

Ayon sa actress, “My mom has always dreamt of having her own restaurant or food business because it’s really been her passion to cook for other people. “We decided now would be the best time to do so because we’re all together at home and we can all help each other through this new journey.”

Teamwork ng pamilya ang naging batayan ng kanilang negosyo kaya masasabing solido ang na­sabing food business. Lahat ng ibinebenta nilang pagkain ay personal na niluto ni Mommy Esther, habang si Sarah naman ang bahala sa marketing side. Tumutulong din daw ang kanyang mga kapatid na lalaki sa packaging at delivery.

“Talagang family business ito,” ani Sarah.

Maganda raw naman ang resulta ng kanilang negosyo mula pa nang magsimula ito, pero may pagkakataon ding nabobok­ya sila lalo na kung hindi maganda ang lagay ng panahon.

“Lahat naman yata ng negosyo, may ups and downs. Ang current issues namin ngayon ay orders. Magandang problema, hindi nga lamang kami masyadong maka-deliver. Madami kasi sobra, pero problema pa rin,” natatawang sabi ni Sarah.

“Sobrang dami ng orders, at ginagawa naman namin ang lahat para makatugon sa orders. Ang maganda dito, lumalaki ang negosyo at nagkakatulungan ang buong pamilya. Nakakatuwang natututo kami sa sarili naming pagkakamali at kapalpakan.”

Talagang inirerekomenda ni Sarah kahit kanino ang masarap na Swiss lasagna ng kanyang inang si Esther, kung saan gumagamit siya ng Gruyère cheese at halal beef. Pwedeng mag-order ng good for two to three persons lamang sa halagang PHP1,000, five to seven people sa presyong PHP1,700, 10 to 15 people sa presyong PHP2,500, at ang para sa malaking grupo na 15 to 20 pax ay may presyong PHP3,500.

Mabenta rin ang kanilang biko at cassava cake. “Sa totoo lang, pag natikman ninyo ang biko ni Mom, maaalala mo ang magagandang bagay na nangyari sa buhay mo,”  ani Sarah. “Masarap itong kainin lalo na kung meron kang mainit na kape.

Tuwing kakain daw siya ng bikong luto ng kanyang ina ay naaalala niya ang kanyang kabataan noong nakatira pa sila sa Ormoc City – umiinom ng kape at kumakain ng biko habang ini-enjoy ang  hanging habagat at ang papalubog na araw.”

Gustong gusto rin daw niya ang Cassava Cake ng kanyang Mommy na hindi masyadong matamis at perfect na gawing meryenda o dessert. Mas masarap pa raw itong kainin kung may kasabay na vanilla ice cream!”  – NV
