It’s baking time at Novotel Kochi!

Workshop with Chefs Ramesh and Kicha

With the summers on its last few days, and the excitement of vacations fading away to school time,

Novotel Kochi Infopark, geared up for one great afternoon of cookie making, frosting and fun. The Baking workshop, hosted by the Executive Chef G V Ramesh and co-hosted by the “Little Chef” Kicha, saw a huddle of young hands getting to know the stepping-stones of baking. The day began with chefs taking the kids through the process of cookie dough making, everyone pitching in to kneading dough. Soon enough, everyone had come out of their comfort zones, clearing their doubts with the chefs, and mingling with other kids.

“Cooking has always been my passion,” says Kicha, as he rolls over a small cookie dough ball over crumbled flakes. Kicha had ventured into kitchen, when he was just over three and a half years, and has not stopped ever since. Today, ever so humble and charming, he is the youngest Indian to be featured on the Ellen Show, a passionate little chef and a recognized youtuber.

As the trays got filled with cookies of all shapes and kind, waiting to be baked, Chef Ramesh, the Executive Chef of the hotel, brought in a large tray full of cupcakes, piping bags and toppings. The kids eagerly reached out to the piping bags for frosting the cupcakes and topping it to their hearts content. “Cooking is always driven by passion, we hope that with workshops and activities like these we can ignite the sparks in the young minds” says Chef Ramesh. With over 20 years of experience of being a chef, he takes pride in chaperoning the culinary team of Novotel Kochi.

The day came to an end on a happy note with the kids enjoying the delicious goodies they had just baked alongside a lavish high-tea, sharing stories, with friends they had just made.
