Woke up early one Saturday morning to attend a baking class. Yes, I am a nerd who loves going to school and learning from different people. For this class, I was fortunate enough to sit-in with CCA’s Fundamentals in Baking and Pastry Arts Course. I chose to learn about making Filipino Desserts or Kakanin.
The country’s top culinary school, the Center for Culinary Arts (CCA Manila) is maintaining its reputation as a pioneer and innovator in the culinary academic field. To highlight its baking programs and short courses, CCA Manila has invited Chefs Miko Aspiras and Aileen Anastacio for the secondary launch of their much sought-after book “A Piece of Cake”.
As Christmas draws near, the annual Christmas rush also intensifies. Everyone is scrambling to shop for presents, which means longer lines at the cashier and even more traffic. What usually takes a couple of hours can take twice as long – and that takes time away from holiday meal planning, preparation and cooking.
For a special, limited-group engagement – and for the first time in the Philippines – lucky enough to catch Chef Drapeau during his hands-on French cooking class last January 23 at CCA Makati Grand Kitchen. There was likewise a must-experience exquisite Michelin-star level 4 course with French Masterchef Marc Toutain on January 24 the same culinary school.
