A THIRD batch of students, this year, has successfully completed a course in vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes at the Johanna Cecelia Learning Resource Centre on the Essequibo Coast.
The teacher and coordinator of the centre, Ms. Parbittie Singh said the training focused mainly on the preparation of several rice meals.
She said the trainees were taught to make fried rice, raisin rice, peas and rice, biryani rice, rice pie, lazanne, baked macaroni, baked fish, jerked, baked fried and pot roasted chicken and prepared and displayed them at the centre last week.
Singh inspected the finished products, said they were excellent and presented each student with a certificate.
She said one of the objectives at the centre is to teach youths, single parents and housewives the skills of cooking and preparing meals and snacks to sell, so as to earn an income to help their families and themselves in cases of unemployment.
Chairman of the Learning Resource Centre, Mr. Doodnauth Singh congratulated the graduates and thanked them for attending the course.
They, in turn, said they are thankful to teacher Singh for spending time to teach them new cooking skills and pledged to make full use of their new knowledge and share with friends and relatives.
