Monday, March 01, 2004 - The Ministry of Education has received over ten thousand dollars for the staging of the “Secondary Schools Food Preparation Competition”. The main sponsor, the St. Lucia Coconut Growers Association made the presentation last week.

In this competition students must use one of the shortenings manufactured by the association in developing an original recipe. Curriculum Officer Miss Mary Julie King says the competition promotes an understanding of the many ways in which locally produced foods can be used.

She says students will prove through the development of their own recipes, that the shortenings can be combined with indigenous foods, as well as the other traditional staples to make creative foods that are both appealing to the eyes and palate.

This is the second year the association is sponsoring the event, and this year, the company welcomes GBTS as a sponsor and is hoping for others to join them and the Ministry of Education in staging the competition.
