Each year on October 20th, Worldchefs celebrates International Chefs Day. The blood service of the Penza region joined the celebration and visited the branch of the Penza College of Food Industry and Commerce in the village of Shemysheika.
A competition "Donor's Breakfast" was held as part of the Chefs Day - it was attended by college students of the 2nd and 3rd courses. The staff of the Blood Center told the students about the importance of donating blood and its components for saving lives. Students prepared a presentation “How a blood donor should eat”, developed recipes and prepared dishes recommended before and after donation.
“There are fruit and vegetable salads, polenta, fruit drinks, buckwheat noodles with vegetables in the donor's menu. According to the rules of contest dishes were prepared only from products allowed before donation. They were distinguished by splendid taste and beautiful presentation” the publication says.
All the contestants and masters received diplomas and gifts for participation and holding the event from the Penza Regional Clinical Blood Center.
“We would like to thank the college administration, the masters of industrial training and the editorial staff of the newspaper Novoye Vremya, for participation and help with the competition. We hope that such events will become a good tradition” - the Penza Blood Service.
