Electrolux Wok-a-holic Kitchen Star: The Battle Begins with a Boot Camp
Remember my blog post about the search for the next ElectroluxWok-a-holic Kitchen Star? Finally the search is over and the 14 aspiring chefs
have been selected and revealed last Friday, June 29, 2012 in Waltermart,

To start with the cooking
battle, there's a Culinary Boot Camp featuring celebrity chef mentors: Chef Bruce Lim,
Chef Rosebud Benitex and Chef Jinathan Bautista of CCA. The top 14 namely - Catherine
Blas, Tara Cagadoc, Maria Cristina Castro, Maria Chelo Sobremisana, Belinda
Custodio, John Mark Dalucio, Roland Jonas Ferrer, Richard Lucenada, Rommel
Marcos, Rigette Osoteo, Rosarie Peñaflor, Mariela Salcedo, Lorenza Nerissa Sarza-Quintos,
and Georgia Shirar – has been trained in various cooking techniques during the
Boot Camp last June 29 and 30. Lessons included everything from handling
appliances and cookware to food preparation that I, yours truly, found it very
informative and doable for our everyday cooking and eating lives. Well, I just
love the “plating” part of the boot camp the most! Ha-ha.

I am also an aspiring chef
I love to eat but I can’t cook well. Once in my life, I planned to enroll in a
Culinary School but my schedule did not permit me to. However, when Electrolux
Wok-a-holic challenge added a twist wherein they had an official Wok-a-holic
blogger partners to help them to campaign for the People’s Choice Award, my
heart beats faster than usual because we are also assigned to be our Kitchen
Star’s assistant during the Grand Cook Off to beld at Cash and Carry Makati on
July 7 and 8.
So guys, as I mentioned
earlier I need to campaign for my Electrolux Wok-a-holic Kitchen Star partner,
in order to do this, I need your support! Please vote/like Rigette Osoteo. For
