JC Culinary Arts has produced well-know chefs in the past but in 2023/2024 has taken the ‘fire’ to new heights.

Scheduled initially for May 25, 2023 but was postponed until June 2. Nothing before its time, we say. Was a perfect day for cooking. The recent heat wave was cooled by the 3 days of rain that held up for the event, leaving a cool atmosphere for both the participants and the spectators. Our spectators included the usual ‘penny section’, a term used in Jamaica to refer to those spectators that bring the hype to event with their comments and jokes.

Mr. Bloomfield and Miss Abrahams, the organizers/coordinators, were professional time-keepers. Part of the competition included cleaning up and having a spotless area for judging. The presentations were like that you would find on the cooking shows on a cable channel.

Supporters became tasters. Forks, cups, containers all appearing out of nowhere. Smile.
