It was indeed a summer filled with fun, creativity and cooking when kids ages four to 12 years old completed the 1st Culinary Kids Workshop held at Maki Japanese Restaurant conducted by Pauline Gorriceta-Banusing.

Kids learned how to create food, hands-on. On the first day, it was "Take Me To Europe" where they made crepes, French toasts, pizzas, white chocolate clusters and banana popsicle sticks. There was "Mexican Day" where they enjoyed Mexican Burritos, Mexican Spaghetti, Guacamole and Corn Dogs. It was challenging also for them to make the Chicken Cordon Bleu, Sheperd's Pie, Jamaican Beef Patties, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Muffins and Animal Cookies but they all passed with flying colors. Their cheesecakes were very, very delicious and can even pass for cakes sold at pastry shops. They made Toblerone cheesecake, Blueberry Ripple Cheesecake, Rocky Road Cheesecake and Cookies and Cream Cheesecake .

During the graduation rites of the Culinary Kids held at the Iloilo Business Hotel, parents, grandparents and friends of the graduates were impressed with the buffet spread the kids did. The kids made the food and desserts from scratch on that day and presented them in the buffet table spread. To all the graduates, congratulations!
