Paris, France · 16 December 2019 · Saudi HORECA Hits Record Numbers in Another Successful Year
A SPECTACULAR
SAUDI HORECA
Seen as a gateway for regional investors seeking new business opportunities in the region, Saudi HORECA proved its prowess once again by gathering almost 300 companies under one roof to showcase the latest products and services to an audience of over 25,000 trade visitors. The show occupied five halls of Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center, covering a total area of 15,000 square meters. International spaces included American and Jordanian pavilions as well as a section dedicated to Lebanese companies.
“This event is a key driver for Saudi Arabia’s hospitality and foodservice sectors,” said Jad Taktak, general manager of Semark, the organizer of the show. “We had a record number of visitors and exhibitors, which confirms the level of growth we are experiencing in the Kingdom.”
Besides being a strategic meeting place, Saudi HORECA highlighted the skills of rising talents through a number of competitions, namely the renowned Hospitality and the Barista Competition, in addition to the first World Pastry Cup Saudi Arabia Selection.
A series of conferences, hosted by HODEMA, also tackled the industry’s hottest topics.

Greetings Chefs and Colleagues!
Children around the world had a chance to spend time with Worldchefs members, like yourself, this year on and around October 20th to celebrate International Chefs Day 2019. With the theme “How Healthy Food Works,” provided by our sponsor Nestlé Professional, all were able to print materials from the toolkit including recipes, badges, certificates, games, and even placemats to make your event complete and with ease.
Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher, founder of International Chefs Day in 2004, would be so proud of this year’s efforts as you continued his vision of celebrating our noble profession and passing on our knowledge and culinary skills to the next generation with a sense of pride and commitment to the future.
I am also very proud of the International Chefs Day Committee who volunteered their time this year to get the word out and answer any questions you had about the 2019 campaign. Everyone played a big role in making this a great year.
Thank you to my Team!!!

Paris, France · 19 November 2019 · ‘Like A Chef’ in Ukraine hosts first graduation
Recently, Worldchefs, along with partners Electrolux Food Foundation and AIESEC, extended the ‘Like a Chef’ culinary training to four more countries. This program focuses on sustainable cooking and will equip unemployed people, such as orphans and women, with necessary culinary workplace skills. The trainings launched in Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, and Egypt in October. This December, Ukraine witnessed it’s first Like A Chef graduation in Ukraine.
Words from Maryna Dronhovska – Project Coordinator of ‘Like A Chef’, Ukraine- regarding 1st graduation of the project
“Last week we had already graduation event of project. In this first wave of project we involved students 13-21 years, who are from orphanages or adopted children. Children’s Affairs Service of Kyiv region supported this project and satisfied a lot. They are looking forward to start next waves of project in next year to involve students. Also 8 social media influencers and 1 media partner showcased project and supported children during lessons to believe in their own power.
I am happy to tell you that we graduated 14 children during this wave! All of them were super enthusiastic and excited each day of project as for them it was opportunity to gain relevant skills, socialize and to feel that someone really care about their future. It’s sad to say, but some of them even didn’t know how to cut vegetables in the first day of project, but in the end on exam all of them looked very confident on kitchen and cooked on very good level. On graduation event some children cried as this project became essential part of life and they were upset that it went to the end.
Instructors in Cookery school by Eugeniy Chernukha also enjoyed the process and said that it was easier to work with children than with adults as they were ready to learn and try new things.
We are grateful for all partners and support that we got during realization of project and can’t wait that we can continue to realize this project next year with bigger outcome and impact!”

Paris, France · 29 November 2019 · Worldchefs announces historical partnership with Birra Morena
HISTORICAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BIRRA MORENA AND THE WORLD ASSOCIATION OF CHEFS SOCIETIES
Worldchefs will bring an Italian beer to the table for the first time
The World Association of Chefs Societies has chosen Birra Morena as a travel companion, an exclusive collaboration with the aim of promoting, in the next few years, the association of food with beer worldwide.
Worldchefs is a worldwide network of chef associations, founded in Paris in October 1928, which currently includes around 110 associations, representing many nations, and millions of chefs.
Birra Morena, already an exclusive partner of the Italian National Cooks, is an Italian brewery that has invested time and resources in high quality projects. Over the past 3 years it has won over 50 medals internationally, including 2 World titles at the World Beer Awards in London: its Celtica Sweet Stout won the title of best beer in the world in its category, a title already won in 2017.
An Italian beer, therefore, is the official beer of Worldchefs and of all the activities that will be promoted around the world where the correct combination of food and beer will be the protagonist.
Fabrizio Tarricone of Birra Morena explains: “We are proud that, after a long evaluation, they chose our beers and our company. It is fantastic to think that with this collaboration we will bring our made in Italy to the most prestigious restaurant in over 110 different countries, with millions of chefs who will combine it with a cuisine of different styles and traditions.”
“Worldchefs’ partnership with Birra Morena presents an exciting opportunity to learn about the world of beer and discover how it can be appropriately paired with different cuisines,” said Ragnar Fridriksson, Managing Director of Worldchefs. “We are delighted to bring them on board as a Corporate Partner.”

New Delhi, India · 26 November 2019 · The World Week Of Italian Cuisine 2019 Struck The Right Chord With The Food Connoisseurs Of Delhi
With the purpose of promoting and stretching out the culinary traditions of Italy in our country, The Embassy of Italy organised the World Week of Italian Cuisine in New Delhi. This year, the 4th edition of the World Week of Italian Cuisine was held from November 20th to 24th, 2019.
The original link can be found below.
The theme of the coveted event was “Zero Waste Cooking”, which was thought to be relevant in the current times when we are facing scarcity of natural resources. The high-profile, week-long event saw special guests flowing in from Italy as well. Both the countries of Italy and India came together on a single platform to share experiences, journeys and work on many culinary initiatives.
The event started off with the Italian delegation of ALMA students (the International School of Italian Cookery), led by Chef Andrea Ruisi, meeting their peers from the International Institute of Culinary Arts (IICA) in New Delhi. The teams bonded over some exciting team work activities that included exchanging recipes and experiences on how to manage food waste in the kitchen.
On the second day i.e. November 21st, “Zero-Waste Cooking, The Talk”, was held at the Italian Institute of Culture. Some leading experts from the food industry participated in the conference and shared their views and suggestions on food security and on the ‘zero waste approach’. The list of dignitaries had some big names like Chef Cristina Bowerman (Michelin Star from Glass Hostaria), Chef Anahita Dhondy (founder of SodaBottleOpenerWala), Chef Ritu Dalmia (Diva Restaurants), Chef Andrea Ruisi (Alma), Mr. Arjun Datta (IICA), Mr. Ankit Kawatra (Zomato Feeding India), moderated by Mr. Sid Khullar (Chef at Large and Cal Wellness).
The participants had a detailed discussion on how the zero-waste approach may enhance creativity and foster a better use of ingredients. The conference was followed by a fun and informative zero-waste cooking demonstration by Chef Cristina Bowerman & Chef Ritu Dalmia at Diva restaurant.
On the evening of November 22nd, Friday, the Embassy of Italy hosted a Gala Dinner whose menu was specially curated by Michelin star Chef Cristina Bowerman, together with Chef Ritu Dalmia. The bread for the dinner was provided by the Brown Bread Bakery, a project by the not-for-profit “Learn For Life Empowerment Project” that aides the underprivileged and promotes organic farming and local food production. At the end of the event, Alma and IICA signed a friendship agreement for future cooperation.
Saturday, November 24th saw a thrilling cook off challenge between two teams of students lead by Chef Cristina Bowerman and Chef Anahita Dhondy. Post the competition, the delegation moved to the Bacchon Kaghar Shelter where children enjoyed a warm meal made of the extra food leftover from the Gala Dinner, which was prepared by ALMA and IICA students and distributed by Zomato Feeding India.
