They have a great time doing all the measurements, its one way for them to bring and share their knowledge and information to every home, encouraging each students to be more patience in finding their skill specially in culinary i.e cooking..., the feeling fulfillment and excitement inside the kitchen, loving or putting their heart in their passion to have a great result of what they wanted to achieve in life..
