Willemstad, May 29th, 2018- In preparation for the Taste of the Caribbean competition taking place in Miami, the Curaçao Culinary team hosted their first famous Cook Out at CHATA Member, Mosa Restaurant on May 28th. This cook out was the first of two cook out events that will be organized by the Curaçao Culinary team. The second Cook Out event will take place on June 4th.  During the Cook Out events, the guests will have the opportunity to taste the competing dishes that the culinary team is going to present at the Taste of the Caribbean competition.

50 Guests had the pleasure of experiencing the culinary delights of the Curaçao Culinary Team. The Cook-Out consisted of a 3-course meal perfectly paired with succulent wine. Every guest had the chance to grade the dishes and even provide the chefs with their feedback in order for them to perfect their culinary skills for the competition. The competing bartenders also provided the guest with a delicious welcome drink in order to set the mood for the night. On June 4th, guests will have the opportunity to indulge in the Culinary Team Cook out experience once again.

The Cook out is one of many fundraising events that the Culinary Team regularly hosts, or participates in, to raise funds for their participation in the international culinary competition in Miami. These events are all made possible by the trust and support of many. Culinary professionals, and local businesses provide the culinary team with a platform, donate their free time or support the team with, funds and or the necessary materials/equipment for these young individuals to adequately prepare themselves for the competitions. This year’s cook out events were made possible by the support of Dani’s Fruit Center, Licores Maduro and Mosa Restaurant. Mosa Restaurant has been a great support for the culinary team. The owner of Mosa Restaurant regularly provides his venue as a training facility for the bartenders of the culinary team and offers complimentary coaching to the young professionals of the team.
