Through my years of
cooking and teaching I have immensely loved having the opportunity to develop new
recipes and teach my students new and creative ways of working around the
kitchen. Yet, I am always looking to do a little more. Recently, I had the
opportunity to do just that.
I was invited as a celebrity guest along with others from the UK and the USA to conduct a 3-day cooking workshop for special needs children. The workshop took place during the Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival which was organized by the Department of Culture and Information.
This cooking workshop
was a wonderful initiative by the Sharjah Government to encourage these special
needs children to show off their potential and creativity. They were given a
chance to try their hand at difference recipes and let their culinary abilities
shine.
It has been enriching
to be a part of such an initiative and I certainly hope I will get the chance
to get involved with similar events in the future.
