(n.) From the Filipino verb luto, to cook; a common childhood game of pretend-cooking. On the world wide web, a chronicle of a journey into professional cooking.
I'm cheering Global Culinary & Hospitality Academy, where I will be studying in June, for being one of the participants in the "Manila Meets Ming" competition (click on the picture to see the details). Six Manila-based culinary arts schools square off to prepare a full-course meal in one hour, with the finalists being judged by Asian fusion masterchef Ming Tsai. I'm almost tempted to call and beg for free passes.
Manila meets Ming 11am-7pm April 28-29, 2009; Rockwell Tent, Makati; tel +632-8078272 Entrance fee: Day 1: P250, Day 2: P500, or buy Ming's Master Recipe Cookbook (P3,500) and get to enter for free, plus have it signed and meet chef Ming www.sweetlinkph.com
I am a bookworm, arts addict, indefatigable traveler, animal lover, frustrated gardener and occasional writer. My fascination with food - the crunchy, oozing, tangy, flaky, pungent, spicy, succulent, sweet glory of it all - inspired me to go to cookery school so I could leave my soulless office job. This is the tale of my travails and triumphs as a cookery student, how I eased myself into cooking for a living, and a few other side-dishes.
