Culinary Village: A Student Project
CCA students are trained to become Chefpreneurs. They should be able to harness their culinary and baking knowledge, skills and creativity by being able to put up their own company, restaurant, or perhaps a catering business. The Culinary Village is one of the most event organized by the students to showcase traditional recipes given a modern interpretation.
Everyone is invited to come to this event! Try our unique dishes and see our students in action!
