The Emirates Salon Culinaire 2010 February 21st to 24th
Managed by The Emirates Culinary Guild
Endorsed by the World Association of Chefs' Societies
Dear Colleagues,
On Behalf of our President Chef Uwe Micheel:
The Golden Coffee Pot Junior Challenge International Buffet Presentation:
As a response to these economically challenging times, the Emirates Culinary Guild has committed to the creation of a cost-friendly international competition developed specifically for the junior culinary teams of the world. The low-cost of participation gives all WACS-associated junior teams an opportunity to train and develop their skills on the international culinary competition stage.
As part of the Guild's ethos and dedication to the enhancement and promotion of junior chefs worldwide Andy Cuthbert - the Guild's Chairman (who is also the WACS junior development representative for the Middle East) is leading this initiative and will be the director of this competition. The competition will take place February 21st to 24th 2010 at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre alongside the Emirates Salon Culinaire during the Gulf Food Hotel & Equipment Exhibition.
The WACS-sanctioned Emirates Salon Culinaire is the world's largest salon organised exclusively by chefs for chefs; it engages a minimum of 20 international judges all of whom would give valuable input to the junior teams at competition. The standard of winning competitors and exhibits at Dubai is of world-class. This would give valuable exposure to the junior teams gaining - as they would - insights into different cultures and exposure to an International network of fellow professionals.
Details of the competition are attached; but as an aid here are the salient points:
* A team event prepare & present an international buffet.
* One-Thousand US Dollar stipend will be given to each participating team to spend as it wishes.
* Accommodation provided for the juniors.
* ALL equipment will be provided to the teams. Teams need to bring ONLY themselves their knives and any special cutters.
* The hotel industry of Dubai will give its support to the teams by offering kitchen space purchasing and transport facilities.
* Stewarding and waiting staff will be provided.
* Tea coffee drinks and bread service will be provided.
* Fruit and vegetables will be provided FOC.
* The guild is working on getting other ingredients supplied FOC.
The junior chefs of our associations deserve a chance to show their skills; it is our responsibility as trainers and mentors to give them every possible opportunity to hone their skills further their education inspire them with confidence and help to make them great chefs.
