Events

It was a lovely Saturday morning when we all gathered at The Food Studio in Mont Kiara to take part in a class run by Chef Paul together with Electrolux. The program featuring classic pies such as Sheppard’s pie, creamy chicken and leek pie, and caramelised apple pie was highly anticipated by everyone who attended.
