For women who share a passion for cooking. What about for men ?
Food has a special way of bringing people together and opening minds regardless of culture, religion, nationality and race. Friendships are made whilst preparing and eating collectively. ICCS is testament to that.
ICCS soon discovered that they started learning new recipes from these new friends who came from all over the world. Simply by word of mouth and learning about ICCS on a few social media platforms, more and more women joined our informal get-togethers.
ICCS currently have approximately 300 active women broken into about 30 cooking and baking groups, plus about 200 alumni women who were in the organisation and, for example, have left Singapore since (we have a large number of expatriates in ICCS) or took on full time jobs.
In total ICCS members come from 86 countries. It became obvious that there were a host of women who were looking for the opportunity to become part of a small group of like-minded individuals who shared the same passion for cooking.
In early March 2016, ICCS was formally registered as a non-profit organization in Singapore. There are no fees to join and no exchange of money for the ingredients at the cooking or baking sessions.
ICCS currently has a few groups with openings for ladies to join. If there is sufficient interest, ICCS will look into the possibility to expand by adding on new cooking and baking groups.
