NorthPoint Academy for Culinary Arts
Last Saturday, March 5, 2011, I was invited to the blessing and inauguration of NorthPoint Academy for Culinary Arts, a new culinary school located just a few minutes outside of Angeles City.
Located along McArthur Highway, going to San Fernando, NorthPoint Academy is a welcome addition to the growing numbers of culinary schools in Pampanga, especially nowadays where more and more Kapampangans are taking interest in culinary arts. Not surprising really because Kapampangans are known for their delicious foods.
NorthPoint is owned and managed byJudy Uson, a well-known cake artist from Manila who relocated here to share her knowledge and expertise to all cooking enthusiasts from Pampanga and nearby provinces. Judy and her creations have been featured in national dailies and magazines, particularly in bridal and food magazines. She has also appeared in many television talk shows, lifestyle and news feature programs.
