Local celebrities gave Barbadians a taste of their cooking skills yesterday when they dished out samples of fare from their kitchens.
They were participating in the National Independence Festival of Creative Arts (NIFCA) Celebrity Showcase, which took place at Trimart, Sky Mall, Haggatt Hall, St Michael.
Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth Stephen Lashley was one of the participants, offering a breadfruit surprise meal, which included ham as one of its ingredients.
“This is indeed the lighter side of the event, at which many a closet chef will be discovered,” said the minister, who received the thumbs up from those who tasted his “surprise”.
Other celebrities included Cranston Browne, chief executive officer of the National Cultural Foundation; entertainers Porgie and Murdah; Ian Webster, 2013 Pic-O-De-Crop monarch; and Jennifer Sealy, founder and artistic director of Dancin’ Africa, among others. (AH)
