About the Event
Gourdo’s welcomed members of the media to its Megamall branch for the launch of its latest line-up of workshops. The event provided a sneak preview of the classes to be conducted by multi-awarded chefs.
Fleur de Lys Patisserie proprietor and Del Monte Kitchenomics co-host Jackie Ang-Po shared recipes for Sweet Crepe, Crepe Samurai, and Ham and Cheese with Basic Buckwheat Crepe. Pastry Bin owner and master cake maker Penk Ching revealed a unique cake decorating trick. Park Avenue Desserts founder and Pastry Alliance of the Philippines President Buddy Trinidad tempted the crowd with Caramel-filled Chocolate Pralines.
Gourdo’s has always been a place where homemakers, food enthusiasts, professional chefs, and restaurant-owners get together. With the workshops, exchange of knowledge is encouraged even more between beginners and experts.
“Despite the big name instructors, the modules were developed for first timers so experience is not a requirement for signing up,” said Susan San Miguel, Gourdo’s Assistant General Manager for Merchandising.
Chef Buddy will be conducting classes on French Macarons on June 10 and Chocolate Pralines on June 24, at Gourdo’s Megamall.
Chef Penk will be teaching about Hand-Painted Cakes on July 8 and Edible Paper Flowers on July 15, also at Gourdo’s Megamall.
Chef Jackie’s sessions will be about Bars and Brownies on May 27, Pies and Tarts on June 3, Cheesecakes on July 1, Sweet and Savory Crepes on July 22, and Cookies on August 12, at the Living Well Workshop in The Podium.
All classes will run from 1:00pm to 6:00pm and will have hands-on work.
Fees start at P3,500 inclusive of certificate of completion, recipe cards, and all necessary supplies and ingredients.
