Of two arts and a visit

Hundreds of cooking enthusiasts flocked the cooking and baking demo organized by the Bacolod-Negros Occidental Bakers Association at the Garden Royale, Bacolod City recently featuring Dorothy Ferreria.

BACNOBA president Chole Cuenca-Chua said past demos and reviews had been very encouraging so they are bringing more culinary arts experts in Bacolod. Chef Dorothy is a veteran teacher of traveling cooking schools. She also conducts cooking, baking and cake-decorating classes and writes about them for a magazine.

BACNOBA officers Virgie Chua, Judy Dy, Henry Sanchez, Honey Grace Catalan, and Jacqueline Chua facilitated the affair.
