Dear Chefs and Friends:
LTB Philippines welcomed our LTB Culinary Scholarship Program 2010 with cocktail party at Chesa Bianca last 12 April. On hand to welcome our scholars were LTB President Othmar Frei, LTB Directors Fernando Aracama and J. Gamboa ISCAHM Director for Culinary Arts Chef Norbert Gandler, Chef Cyrille Soenen of Restaurant Cicou, Chef Joanne Limoanco of Unilever Phils, Goldie San Luis of WIC and Master Butcher Hubert Weber of Euro Swiss. The scholars were treated to a sumptuous buffet of Swiss specialties thanks to President Othmar Frei and Chesa Bianca.
Our 15 LTB Culinary Scholars from Bacolod, Cebu, Iloilo and Manila will be on a 2-week Basic Culinary Training Course at the International School of Culinary Arts and Hotel Management (ISCAHM) to learn Basic Cooking Techniques and Sanitation in order that they may share their knowledge and improve the culinary standards within their community. Aside from the classes, the scholars will visit the Hotel Celeste WIC Storerooms, Euro Swiss Sausage Factory and the Unilever Dressings Plant. All in an effort to broaden their understanding of the food service industry.
This is the 5th consecutive year of the LTBCSP. So far 64 teachers from all over the Philippines have participated and successfully completed this program.
We thank our LTB Members, ISCAHM and friends for their continuous support of this program.
