The Twifo Praso Area of The Church of Pentecost has held its maiden Teens Cooking Competition, aimed at testing the culinary skills and knowledge of teenagers within the Area. The event took place on Saturday, November 22, 2025.
The competition, an initiative of the wife of the Area Head, Mrs. Doris Otu-Nyarko, was designed not only to assess the cooking abilities of the teens but also to promote good eating habits and table etiquette among young people.
According to Mrs. Otu-Nyarko, the programme was inspired by the need to educate and build confidence in teenagers as they learn practical life skills.
The event featured two main segments—a quiz on table etiquette and healthy eating practices, and a cooking contest where participants were tasked to prepare a meal based on the dietary needs of a hypothetical individual.
Addressing participants, the Area Head, Apostle Lawrence Otu-Nyarko, encouraged the teens to take active roles in household responsibilities, especially in the kitchen.
He added that the initiative would help reinforce healthy eating habits among the youth.
At the end of the keenly contested competition, the Twifo Hemang District emerged winner, with Wassa Akyempim placing second, while Wamaso District took third position.
