Deadline to enter cookery contest - Gulf Daily News

Posted: 08 May 2010 06:07 PM PDT

WOMEN from across Bahrain are being invited to register for a popular cookery contest that will be held this weekend.

The 10th annual Nestle Taste of India Cookery Competition will take place at 9.30am on Friday, at the Bahrain Keraleeya Samajam (BKS), Segaiya.

It is being organised by the Association of Mar Ivanios College Old Students (Amicos Bahrain) and will include five categories - salads, vegetarian dishes, non-vegetarian dishes, desserts and healthy meals.

Contestants may register in only two categories.

Apart from the salads, each dish must feature at least one Nestle product in its recipe.

Only final decoration, garnishing and presentation procedures will be allowed at the venue and all other preparations must be carried out before entering the Samajam.

Contestants must also present a recipe detailing every aspect of the preparation beside their dish.

A panel of judges comprising chefs from Bahrain's leading hotels will decide the winning entries.

Contest winners will be awarded certificates and various prizes.

Registration is BD2 per person and entry forms are available at the Indian Club, in Manama, and at the BKS.

The deadline to register is 8pm on Tuesday.

Members of the public will also be able to view the dishes once judging has finished.

The contest will precede the staging of a Dhwani Tharang musical performance by India's Samudra Arts International group and a performance by the Chandana Wickramasinghe Sri Lankan dance troupe at 7pm at the BKS.

A prize distribution ceremony will follow immediately after the shows. Nestle is the event's title sponsor and entry is free to all. Contact 39834127, 39132403, or 39870384 for more information.

Travel Challenge: A cookery holiday in Andalucia - The Independent

Posted: 08 May 2010 01:39 AM PDT

Every week we invite competing companies to give us their best deal for a specified holiday. Today: a cookery holiday in southern Spain in mid-June. Prices are for two people travelling together.

GoLearnTo

£1,438: Iznájar, Andalucia

Commences 13 June and includes six nights' half board in a 19th-century finca, 12 hours' tuition in the kitchen with a professional chef, and excursions to local olive oil and sherry producers. Travel to Spain is not included. "This charming, rustic finca set in the hills near the Parque Natural de La Sierra Subbética is the perfect setting to do as Jamie Oliver does and learn to cook authentic Spanish food using locally sourced ingredients," says Vanessa Lenssen of GoLearnTo (08445 020 445; GoLearnTo.com ).

On The Menu

£3,998: Andalucia

Includes flights departing Stansted to Málaga on 13 June; transfers; six nights' B&B at a finca; selected lunches and dinners; four hands-on cooking classes; excursions to Priego de Córdoba, Montilla, Granada, Zuheros and Córdoba and olive oil and sherry tastings. "Guests have the pleasure of cooking seasonally, with vegetables that are grown organically on the finca land or purchased from neighbouring farms. Mature olive trees span the horizon – olive oil is fundamental to the cuisine of this region," says Pru Goudie at On The Menu (08708 99 88 44; holidayonthemenu.com ).

Annie B's

£1,580: Vejer de la Frontera, Andalucia

Commences 10 June and includes five nights' accommodation, four days' cooking instruction, daily lunch and dinner with wines, escorted visits and a recipe file. Travel to Spain not included. "Joining in one of our fun-filled courses learning to create fast, fresh and fabulous Mediterranean dishes is much more than purely honing your cookery skills under the sun. Immerse yourself in the heart of the Moorish village of Vejer de la Frontera, visit fish markets, learn about sherry in a Jerez bodega, relax on Atlantic beaches, taste different wines with every meal and spend an evening crawling the tapas bars of this beautiful white hilltop village," says Annie Manson of Annie B's Spanish Kitchen (00 34 620 560 649; anniebsspanishkitchen.com ).

Instead Of Promoting the Municipality Freetown City Council Now A ... - Standard Times Press

Posted: 05 May 2010 12:45 AM PDT

It is now very clear that the Freetown City Council is slowly reducing itself to a mere cookery selling outfit rather than what it was established to carry out by the drafters of the Municipality Act. Visitors to the Chamber of Commerce Trade Fair at the Miata Conference Centre were stunned to see the booth of the Freetown City Council, rather than educating citizens and foreign visitors about local tax and its obligations to the municipality has transformed itself to a cookery selling shop and a small liquor spot, with the inscription FREETOWN CITY COUNCIL on the frontage of its booth.

 

Since the commencement of the trade fair, the council booth has been selling food stuff and assorted drinks, including Beer, Stout and Heineken and not selling tax receipts, let alone educating the public. The booth which should have been used for the sale of local tax receipts and the promotion of council activities has deviated from such activities according what visitors to the trade fair saw.

 

The trade fair is organized by the Chambers of Commerce, as one of the ways that business houses and other institutions should use to promote their activities. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with the Freetown City Council considering the type of goods it has displayed on the front view of its booth and stocked for sale underneath the counter of its booth.

 

Those who want to use the opportunity to secure local tax receipts at the trade fair were disappointed as they were not able to do so. Most of the other booths at the trade exhibition centre were engaged in advertising and displaying their goods as visitors and Sierra Leonean Citizens stormed the centre with the exception of the Freetown City Council that is selling, advertising and displaying different types of liquor products and foods, turning the booth to public mockery.

 

It was expected that the trade fair should have been used by the council to target Sierra Leoneans who are yet to secure their local tax
