Leonardo Sasa: Kitchen Artist Of The Year 2008
Leonardo Sasa won the Kitchen Artist of the Year 2008 title in the Junior Chefs Award held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Leonardo is from Paete, the carving capital of the Philippines.
Because of the laws on logging, Paete's young generation turned the carving skills that their parents passed on to them into a foundation for the new industry that the town is now known for -- kitchen art.
Leonardo Sasa is one of the best kitchen artists in the Philippines.
A kitchen artist in Philippine context is one who can carve ice, chocolates, fruits, vegetables and even butter to come up with intricate culinary art. These are usually used as centerpieces in hotels, restaurants and even fiestas both locally and internationally.
The competition held in Dubai had categories where other Filipinos won. The following are some of them: (1) Feliciano Baisas - gold medalist for chocolate carving category and gold medalist for team ice carving category; (2) Willy Baysauli - gold medalist for showpiece out of Salt Dough; (3) Ver Cagayat - gold medalist for showpiece out of Gum Paste; (4) Willy Madrianan - gold medalist for team ice carving category
Congratulations to all of you who have carved a place of excellence in your chosen field!
