Three days of real-time, hectic, and thrilling cookery competitions – fought against the constraints of time – makes the salon a stimulating event that will become a major attraction at the ExpoCulinaire exhibition. This year the education arena is not to be missed as a special feature of the exhibition, with demonstrations and interactive sessions.
Entrants to the various competitions do not compete directly against each other, rather, they strive to reach perfection in their art. Each of their creations is then judged by a panel of Worldchefs approved international adjudicators, according to its international merit. Emirati Cuisine is also highlighted during the competition.
In 2025 the Emirates Salon Culinaire and ExpoCulinaire exhibition will run alongside the Worldchefs Global Chefs Challenge Semi Final for Africa & Middle East region, as well as a new culinary competition, the Indigenous Cuisine Team challenge, featuring 18 global cuisines with teams of 4 chefs competing for the trophy. All this activity will make this the chefs event of the year.
