CCA Manila’s Young Chefs Culinary Tricks and Kitchen Discovery Class

Day 3 : Sweet Tooth.  That day was all about baking.  All ingredients were lined up ready to be measured & mixed.

 Everyday they were able to take home samples of what they cooked.  Here’s how one student’s take home box looked like.

Day 4 : Little Asia

The course for kids pretty much tackled the major cuisines as this day struck close to home.

Sushi Rice

California Maki : One thing that my kids got from me is their love for Japanese food.  That made both of us excited to make this.

At the end of each cooking session, the kids go back to the classroom and get stickers on their cookbooks.

Five days went by so fast and graduation time finally came where a simple ceremony was held with the children and the parents. We all feasted on the Italian cuisine they made.  Here’s Kayla with Chef Anne and Neil.

And the proud mommy who can’t wait to taste all that the cooked all over again at home. Ahem.

I asked Kayla how she found the whole experience and this is what she had to say :

“It was great to learn new stuff and new food I haven’t tasted yet.  I finally got to go near the stove.  Chef Ann is very friendly and tells us a lot about cooking. Kuya Neil is smart because he tells us do’s and don’ts.  I learned to ask questions and made some cool new friends.”

With that said, I’m letting her do the family dinners from now on.
