COOKIE KINGS

Nearly 100 young

chefs, aged from six to 11, experimented with

fun ways of making cookies during a series of

bakery classes conducted by the

Hongkong

Electric Home Management Centre (HMC)

.

The classes were part of the Hong Kong WinterFest

and the little chefs each received an HMC certificate.

The HMC promotes cooking to the younger

generation by offering courses, workshops and

competitions that children can take part in with

their parents.
