IF YOU’RE a closet cook like most of us, the type who regularly surfs the Web for recipes and cooking lessons, then you’ll be thrilled to hear this news: five top chefs from all over the world are holding culinary lessons this Saturday at the Singapore Tourism Board, as part of the World Gourmet Summit.

According to the organisers, “each chef will be conducting a cooking demonstration and prepare two of their signature dishes.” And taste portions of the food! This is a superb deal especially for those who were unable to attend these chefs’ private dinners because of the tummy-growling prices.

For only $48++ per class, you can “witness the best of the culinary finesse of these international masterchefs.”Each chef will share their secrets to the great cuisines as well as answer he enquiries.

Here’s the schedule and background information on the chefs. All classes will be held at the Singapore Tourism Board auditorium.

Antonella Ricci
9am to 10am

Antonella Ricci took over her family restaurant, Al Fornello da Ricci and made it a landmark of Puglia, Italy. Cuisines prepared by her are distinctively healthy and traditional, and most of the ingredients are harvested from her own garden. She is based at Al Fornello da Ricci in Puglia, Italy.

10:30am to 11:30am

Drawing inspirations from his mother and grandmother and his family’s Greek heritage, George Calombaris brings Greek cuisine with a twist to his guests. His interest in food was cultivated at a young age and he undeniably lives up to the title of The Age Good Food Guide 2008 chef of the year. Calombaris continues to create traditional Greek food with a twist of innovation - a style which he is now famous for at The Press Club in Melbourne, Australia.
   

Paul Pairet
12:00nn to 1:00pm

Born and trained in France, critically acclaimed Paul Pairet has created a stir in nearly every restaurant which he has worked in. Pairet is known for his method of handling food, pairing them in surprising ways, presenting them with originality and always making sure that end result is delicious. He borrows from these cultures to create an avent-garde cuisine style that impresses every guest that dines at Jade on 36, in Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai, China.

Just like any other revered icon, Pouessel worked his way up to become an executive chef at Aureole in Mandalay Bay.
