“Weekday Warrior: Prepare Restaurant-Quality Dishes Everyday” these was the theme for the second cooking workshop at Gala Star Culinary last April 18, 2015.
Learning new ways in preparing delicious and healthy recipes from the famous culinary star and Samsung Digital Appliances Ambassador Chef Ernest Gala with the help of Samsung Refrigerator and Samsung Smart Microwave Oven.
