The weeklong cooking course, ‘Super Chefs’, hosted by The Westin Hyderabad Mindspace culminated in the city recently. The event was organised for youngsters to hone their culinary skills. Participants from all over town gathered to show-off their culinary expertise in a cook-off during the third week of June.

A total of 25 participants between the age group of nine to 16, took part in this fun-filled class of laughter, excitement and general cheer. Each day highlighted a different cuisine, ranging from Italian, Indian, Oriental and Mediterranean to delectable confectionary.

Some of the dishes taught included Chicken Parmigiana, Palak Anardana Tiki, Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Kung Pao Vegetables, Blueberry Cheesecake, etc. When it came to recreating these dishes, the children not only learned the process quickly but also followed suit and made them with very little deviation.

This weeklong course ended in a nail-biting competition where a winner was chosen by a judging panel of five; they evaluated the dishes based on taste, appearance, cleanliness at their work station and their interesting team names.

Chef Rakesh Singh, the Executive Chef of The Westin Hyderabad Mindspace said, “This year’s SuperChefs has seen an increase in the number of kids participating in the competition.

Each team recreated iconic dishes and showcased their culinary talents beautifully. We aimed to share the joy of food with the children and we are really overjoyed to see that they enjoyed the entire culinary experience thoroughly. A majority of the children have also demanded to come back again for next year’s SuperChefs as well!”

Post the intense competition, Team Phoenix was declared the winners of the SuperChefs 2017. They had prepared a delicious Falafel with garlic yoghurt, Stir fried chicken with vegetable noodles in Kung Pao sauce and Blueberry cheesecake.

Each participant was handed a participation certificate and a box of Westin Hyderabad’s specialized chocolates. The winning team was awarded gold medals while the runner up team got silver medals.
