Germany · 20 January 2020 · Limited special edition
forged chef’s knife Premier
Plus “GO FOR GOLD”
The
IKA/Culinary Olympics is the oldest, largest and most diverse international
culinary arts competition in the world. Professional teams of chefs passionately
compose the perfect interplay of ingredients, preparation and presentation. For
100 years, new culinary trends have been emerging here in fair competition. The
competition is taking place in Stuttgart for the first time, parallel to the
INTERGASTRA 2020.
The motto of
the Olympic Games is “citius, altius, fortius” – Latin for faster, stronger,
further. The Olympic concept of “being there is everything” is also a guiding
principle for the festival as an event. In a quote about the Olympic Games,
Bishop Ethelbert Talbot said:
“The important
thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part, for the essential
thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”
On the
occasion of the Culinary Olympics, Friedr. Dick presents a limited special
edition of its forged chef’s knife with a blade length of 21 cm from the
Premier Plus series. The knives are coated with a special ceramic enforced
hybrid coating. The antibacterial non-stick coating prevents cuttings from
sticking and allows easy cleaning. In addition, ceramic particles enable the
best sliding properties with reduced effort and higher wear resistance.
Forged from a
single piece of steel, perfectly balanced with a high-quality coating on the
blade and a unique marking – the perfect tool: not just for participating in
the IKA/Culinary Olympics.
The limited
special edition can be acquired starting mid February 2020 at the IKA/Culinary
Olympics.
Friedr. Dick
is the only manufacturer worldwide who offers a complete range of knives, sharpening
steels, ancillary items for chefs and butchers as well as grinding machines,
sharpening machines and knife cleaning devices. The long-standing tradition and
experience of manufacturing products for chefs and butchers allow a continuous
development of innovative products. Input from customers, especially end-users
and our own ideas are converted into high-quality products.

Wales · 29 January 2020 · Oswestry’s James part of Welsh culinary Olympics team given government farewell
The original link can be found below.
A YOUNG Oswestry chef was among those waved off by a Welsh government minister before heading to Germany for a culinary Olympics.
James Jarvis works for Sebastians in Willow Street, and he was included in a Welsh junior team of chefs who will compete for the The Culinary Association of Wales (CAW) at the IKA Culinary Olympics in Stuttgart between February 14-19.
Lesley Griffiths, Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, hosted a reception at the Senedd in Cardiff on Wednesday morning to pass on the nation’s best wishes to the senior and junior teams, and she was delighted to play her part.
“I was delighted to host this Senedd send-off event and give fellow AMs the chance to join me in wishing our two teams of highly skilled chefs the very best of luck during the prestigious IKA Culinary Olympics,” she said.
“I am sure the judges can’t fail to be wowed by the culinary talents of both our junior and senior teams.
“This event also provides the perfect platform to attract the support of national culinary associations as we bid to bring the Worldchefs Congress and Expo to Wales in 2024.
“We are really gaining a reputation as a food and drink nation – as proven by the recent figures which show last year, we smashed our ambitious industry target of achieving £7 billion turnover.
“Winning the bid to host such a high-profile event in Wales would provide a further boost for our thriving food and drink industry.”
CAW president Arwyn Watkins, OBE, said: “It’s a huge accolade for the Culinary Association of Wales to be invited by the Minister to give the two teams a Senedd send-off to the Culinary Olympics.
“It’s also an opportunity to highlight all the good work done by our members as real ambassadors for Wales on the international stage.
“I shall be spending the majority of my time at the Culinary Olympics lobbying fellow presidents of Worldchefs member countries to vote for Wales.”
Both teams will cook a three-course menu in the ‘Restaurant of Nations’ element of the competition and then produce a range of dishes for a chef’s edible buffet, newly introduced this year.
The senior team presents its chef’s edible buffet on February 16 and its Restaurant of Nations menu on February 18. The junior team delivers its ‘Restaurant of Nations’ menu for 60 covers on February 15 and its chef’s edible buffet on February 17.
