Chef Kester Robinson is organizing cooking classes for children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 15, through an initiative, known as the 2023 Kids Cooking Academy which aims to develop culinary skills and foster an interest in culinary careers among young participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Executive Chef of The Pergola Experience, Chef Robinson is passionate about bringing children closer to the art of cooking and equipping them with practical culinary skills applicable to their daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classes will expose young learners to a variety of simple recipes, allowing them to recreate these dishes at home. The hands-on experience will provide them with valuable insights into cooking techniques and food preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chef Robinson believes that introducing cooking skills at an early age can have a positive impact, nurturing the next generation of culinary enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we are doing is teaching them some of the basics. The first week we are doing some of the basics knife skills, [and] we are doing also breakfast making. Tomorrow we will be doing liquid diet for smoothie, so we want to get them very familiar with every type of diet. So within our class, we have vegetarian, among others, we want to make sure that everybody is inclusive as we preparing these meals,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the children shared their experiences in the kitchen with NCN Guyana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
