DPS STS Chef Minister had organised three workshops which were conducted as part of the competition by topmost chefs from Dhaka city.
Around 1,500 mothers registered for the workshops, and the first online workshop was held at Le Meridien Dhaka.
The second online workshop was held at the Great Kabab Factory, and the third at the DPS STS Senior section cafeteria in Uttara.
After these workshops and several rounds, the gala round (in-person) was finally held today.
