FOR the first time, the best-selling cookbook series by celebrity chef Myke 'Tatung' Sarthou will soon be available in physical stores. The three 'Simpol' books will hit the shelves of National Bookstore branches beginning this March. The Philippines' largest bookstore chain will now include the award-winning 'Simpol: The Cookbook,' its follow-up, 'Simpol Kitchen Secrets' and the latest, 'Baking Simpol,' among its titles.

'Now, cooking is not only simple. It's more accessible too thanks to this pioneering partnership between National Bookstore and Vertikal Books,' says Tatung. 'I'm excited to reach more home cooks by moving beyond our online channels.'
