Cooking demos to see and eat

From Thursday to Monday, a series of chefs registered with the new 109 came to cook a recipe from the book. This event was open to all, so you could watch and take note of the tips from the chefs on stage, but you could also taste. Indeed, at the end of each cooking demonstration, a small plate was handed out to the audience.
