THE EDUCATION EXPERIENCE
The culinary art, as traditionally practiced by the chefs of the Old World, is a skill that is a personal mastery perfected by the master chef. Today, it has even become a science - one of chemistry, physics and nutrition. Just as the Old World way was through apprenticeship, the New World way is a solid education.
The education experience At-Sunrice comprise of cuisine studies of East & West, Old & New World and Herb & Spices augured by a rigorous Study & Work curriculum.
