IN CELEBRATION of nutrition month this July, the Baguio City Nutrition Council (BCNC) replicated popular cooking shows on television and sponsored a marketing and cooking contest participated by six districts, father-daughter/mother-daughter tandem last Monday at the Health Services Office.

Coming in third was City Camp-Asin with Shrimp and Chicken with malunggay, while Loakan-Pacdal, Campo Filipino and Lucban Districts were fourth, fifth and sixth with their fish-meat-vegetable concoctions.

The pairs were judged according to their marketing skills, as the ingredients were provided by the BCNC; palatability, costing per serving, presentation, table setting and conformity to the nutrition month theme, Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin, Araw-araw Itong Ihain.

The cooking pairs provided their own cooking equipment and the required proper attire. They also had their own table settings and dining paraphernalia, with barangay-recommended dining guests.

All these were taken into consideration by the judges: Marcia Espinueva of the Department of Agriculture, Cynthia Garambas of the Benguet State University, Charlene May Dulnuan of the University of the Cordilleras, Juliet Calpatura of the Baguio General Hospital and Wendy Mana-a of the National Nutrition Council as judges of the event.
