Culinary Workshops for Mar 2009

Dear Workshop Frens,

Following a month hiatus of cooking workshops in February, it is time to join us again from March to May 2009 as we bring to you a series of new workshops and repeats of the past years’ favourites for those who have missed them as well as new participants who have joined us from 2008. Are you ready?

If u had gone through Xmas 2008 Festive Menus and CNY 2009 Festive Menus with me, I am sure many of you here have had the chance to learn new ideas, culinary techniques and experience new ingredients. Same can be expected from the up coming workshops again. The new menus for Mar-May 2009 are ready and dates have been finalized with the respective CCs. For 2009, we try to do menus according to various known food seasons throughout the year. I hope everyone will be able to make it to some of the up coming classes below. Looking forward to receiving your support once again!

Culinary regards
Chef Eric Low
