Culinary Masterclasses
Singapore Food Festival 2012's happening just before the month of Ramadan. To complement Ramadan's spirit of sharing and giving, 8 masterclasses will be conducted by 10 of the best celebrity chefs and cookbook authors of Malay cuisine. Children as young as 8 years old can learn essential cooking techniques in a fun environment as 2 of the masterclasses are specially catered for younger culinary aspirants (accompanied by an adult - price is for both parent and child).
Spaces are limited so book yours by 13 July 2012 to enjoy early bird discounts (Early Bird Price of S$ 50 per participant vs Regular Price of S$65 per participant). Pre-registration is required.

Ms. Rita Zahara, entrepreneur, TV personality and cookbook author, is the Consultant for the Kampong Gelam precinct during Singapore Food Festival 2012. Here she is next to Ms. Julina Khusaini, General Manager for the Malay Heritage Foundation.
Author of "Malay Heritage Cooking", a Marshall Cavendish International publication, Ms Zahara will be conducting one of the masterclasses.
She is joined by 9 other culinary experts including Chef Nora Haron-Dunning, ambassador for the sustainable halal food movement and founder of "Sustainably Halal" in the US. The latter will be travelling from San Francisco especially for the event.

One of the things I love about buying cookbooks when the author's present is the opportunity to get them autographed. Here's the autograph Ms. Zahara very artistically wrote on the copy that I purchased from her (S$ 38 direct from the author vs S$ 40.66 in bookstores).
