In celebration of Yummy Magazine’s 10th anniversary this year, we hosted the first Yummy Academy cooking workshop for the year on February 18, Saturday with Yummy magazine and Yummy.ph readers.
Readers had a chance to learn how to make three recipes from the February 2017 issue of Yummy magazine.
Readers making sure their dishes were social media-ready!
Conducted by Chef LA Sedeno at the 25 Mushrooms Kitchen in Valle Verde, Pasig City, the workshop taught readers how to recreate three recipes featured in Yummy Magazine’s February 2017 issue: Squash and Mushroom Bacon Pasta Carbonara, French Chocolate Fondant Cake, and Tamarind-Caramel Shrimp Skewers.
Yummy reader Kathryn Sotto brought her twelve-year old son, Nathan.
Reader Kathryn Sotto, who even brought her 12-year old son to the event shared, “The event was engaging and fun! I learned a lot and my favorite was the creamy squash bacon pasta. Am excited to try the new dish at home.
My son, who has never tried cooking, enjoyed the activity, too. He was very proud to have been able to cook carbonara, his favorite!”
The readers were also given a chance to customize the recipes and make it their own. Check out the three recipes they came up with during the cooking class:
