Who says that palatable and refined foods are only served at high- priced restaurants?   April 26, 2012, representatives from all-over Region came into one culmination – The RECIPE DEVELOPMENT COOKING CONTEST held at Greenwoods Retreat House and Convention Center, Koronadal City. Each entry showcases their exquisite talent on making low-cost ingredients into high class cuisines. The contestants had shown great innovative approach on the dishes as well as in plating making it hard for the judges to decide. The council invited food experts as the judges but at the end one dish prevailed. Fresh HRM graduates of NDMU brought home the prize. The said activity is NNC’s initiative to improve nutrition condition of the poorest families. The winning recipes will be compiled into a recipe book which will be printed and shall be distributed to the beneficiaries of the government’s Pantawid Pamilya or the Conditional Cash Transfer Program administered by the DSWD and other government sectors.
