Combine 2000 primary to high school children with a throng of corporate sponsors and professional exhibitions and a huge multi-purpose field and it makes for a grand event. This was the nature of Culinary & Scientific Competition put on by Betknobs Holdings Limited at the Kaiser Sports Complex on Wednesday, January 31, 2007. The event was held in conjunction with the HEART-NTA and The Ministry of Education in an attempt to generate a sense of awareness in young people by exposing them to career possibilities that exists in today's Jamaica.

Looking on is Walkerswood Executive Chef Dennis McIntosh Hedonism III signed on as a sponsor of the event at the behest of the organizer Mr. Rupert Anderson. Executive Chef Mark Cole along with his team of culinary wizards made the trip to Kiser Sports Club in Discovery Bay. Not even the treat of rain could dampen the spirits of the children as they bounced from booth to booth watching intently as the exhibitors showcased their products and gave demonstrations. Hedonism III's booth became the epicenter of the event as close to 300 children gathered around the red and black décor of the tent to marvel at Chef Cole's cooking. Pastry chef Anthony Walters’ Shango (Banana and cheese cake wrapped in a spring roll and deep fried and dipped in a vanilla sauce) was a big hit with the children and the teachers accompanying them.

	Garde Manger Dwight Cross, carved his way into the pumpkins and melons to the amazement of the children who by now had gotten their fill of Shango and were listening attentively to Dwight's directions on how to carve the different patterns into vegetables and fruits. The final act of the day saw Chef Cole preparing a feast for the eyes and mouth. First was succulent roasted pork tenderloin marinated over night and reduced in orange juice. This was followed by Coconut shrimp dipped in a tomato sauce and the final act of the day was a chicken breast sauté. The children left the booth with more than just the taste of Shango in their mouths; they left with the sense that a career in the culinary arts can be rewarding and achievable for them. Hedonism III is proud to have played our part in this exercise in youth development.
