In the workshop organised under the tutelage of Chef Didar Başgöze, students had the opportunity to learn soufflé making practically. The event started with information about the ingredients used in soufflé making and the preparation stages. Then, the students were divided into stations in groups and practised the soufflé making process step by step. Chef Didar Başgöze supported the process by dealing with each student one-to-one. Students decorated the soufflés they prepared using their own creativity. Thanks to the workshop, the participants had the opportunity to get to know the food production area closely, develop basic kitchen skills, learn food hygiene rules and gain important skills such as teamwork.
