Worldchefs, “The Congress is THE event for all chefs, when you can see
thousands of chefs from around the world gather in one place. It’s a time when
you can witness a unique mix of camaraderie, learning and progress. The
Congress committee has worked very hard to put together a fascinating
programme, and this would not have been possible without our sponsors.

 

Andy Cuthbert, Chairperson of the Congress
Committee shared, “We have been refining the programme of every Congress
edition to make it even more  relevant to the chefs of today. We are very
glad to have a diverse mix of speakers and activities, who will inspire the
chef of today, whether you have been in the industry for 30 years, or just two
years. 

 

Iconic Speakers

Headlining the line-up of speakers are the
two iconic chefs – Andre Chiang  (chef-founder of Restaurant ANDRE) and
Alvin Leung (Executive Chef/Co-Founder of Bo Innovation, Hong Kong).

special message to its community. 

 

Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2018 is around the
corner and we all know this by now!
Some
people have already bought their tickets, some people are going to buy their
tickets and some people wish so hard to come at Congress & Expo 2018, but
can't due to many reasons.

 

For
that special reasons, Worldchefs has decided to move forward and help Adrian
Vigus-Brown to raise enough money for him to come at the Worldchefs Congress
& Expo 2018 in Malaysia!

 

The
Young Chefs are truly the ones to make the world a nicer place to discover new
tastes, new dishes and new ways to cook the right product at the right time!
They are the ones who are feeding the planet and who are going to feed our
children!

 

Worldchefs is therefore very proud to introduce you

the One & Only Adrian Vigus-Brown

 

Adrian has a personal message to all of us

 

Through family
financial circumstances as well as situations beyond my control as the Young
Chefs Ambassador for Africa and Middle East I am not able to personally or
through affiliation finance myself to the upcoming Bill Gallagher Young Chefs
Forum at the Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2018.

This event brings together more than 100 member
countries, industry leaders, culinary enthusiasts and gastronomy fans to learn
and enjoy about culinary trends and innovations.

The forum is an exciting program design for young
chefs. It encompass both a learning experience and the opportunity to create
friendship with fellow colleagues from around the world at varying and vast
levels.

The Forum is a great place to start or contribute to
an already successful career. It contributes to young chefs’ success and it
will open up great culinary world for ambitious youngsters who seek to thrive
in the culinary community. As well as provide a global mentorship and skills
sharing programme, it is my duty to not only nurture this, but to stimulate and
contribute to the growth of the chef industry and more importantly to inspire
young chefs to develop to their full potential.

This forum is paramount to the global development of
young chefs as well as it has the opportunity to bring global trends, ideas and
friendships back to South Africa from the congress through the connection of
the South African Young Chefs Club (past chairman) my attendance is vital and
important.

However, this year I am unable to finance myself. Help
me get there by selecting the 'donate' button next to the barometer.

 

Yet
the barometer is not at top yet, Worldchefs is sure with your help it can be
very soon!
