Abu Dhabi: Professional chefs from Abu Dhabi and the region will gather in the capital, from November 22 to 24, to compete at the region's first La Cuisine Du SIAL cooking competition.
Organised by the Abu Dhabi chapter of the Emirates Culinary Guild and endorsed by the World Association of Chefs' Societies, the competition will run alongside SIAL Middle East at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
The competition provides a spectacular showcase for chefs to show their skills, techniques and culinary styles in bakery, pastry and confectionery, ice-carving, artistic showpieces, and practical cookery. It is an exciting event dedicated to celebrating the preparation and presentation of food in attractive and pleasing forms, said a statement issued by the organisers.
The competitions are open to any professional chefs regardless of age, position or workplace.
Opportunity
Alen Thong, coordinator of the Emirates Culinary Guild and director of La Cuisine Du SIAL, commented: "The festival presents a great opportunity for professional chefs to test and assess themselves against the limits of their perceived abilities, and to clearly present to the industry their artistic and practical attainments. The competition is a platform for professionals to display their myriad talents, network with their peers, interact, and exchange information."
Competitions serve to hone the culinary craft and artistic identity of chefs by obliging them to demonstrate their talents in a formal setting, directly to their peers.
