Untitled - Egyptian Chefs Association

Introductory Letter
Dear Friends of the Culinary Arts,
The Egyptian Chefs Association (ECA) is happy to
announce that, in spite of the present circumstances in
tourism, the InterContinental Citystars continues to support
the work of the Association and once again will host the
Association’s annual culinary show. The National Salon
Culinaire will be held this year on Wednesday, June 15.
In conjunction with this year’s event, Egypt will also be the
host country for the WACS Africa & Middle East Forum.
Presidents of national chef’s associations of WACS
member countries in the region will be visiting Egypt to attend
the Forum and support the country’s economy through their participation in a tourism
promotion. Under the slogan “Support Your Chef Colleagues in Egypt by Making Egypt
Your next Tourism Destination”, the delegates of the Forum will promote the country
among chefs worldwide.
Arnold Tanzer, WACS Continental Director for Africa & Middle East, will chair the
Forum, and also be the guest of honor and judge of the National Salon Culinaire’11.
Our expert jury will judge in accordance with the WACS international standards for
culinary competitions. All the competition categories, rules and regulations are
described in detail in this booklet. Please read the booklet carefully as, upon the
request of Robert Oppeneder, the Chairman of WACS Culinary Competition
Committee, some changes have been made to improve the annual show.
Once again this year, the ECA Culinary Trophy 2011 will be awarded to the
establishment or regional team scoring the best results in the team competition.
The Association will also dedicate a special exhibit area for culinary arts exhibits made
by junior chefs, i.e., chefs 25 years of age or younger. There will also be individual
highest score awards for both senior and junior chefs in all the competition categories.
With your participation to the culinary show, your colleagues, and members of the
international jury and delegates of the WACS Africa & Middle East Forum will have the
opportunity to view the best culinary exhibits of Egyptian chefs from across the country.
I wish to thank InterContinental Citystars for their great support to our profession and I
look forward to welcoming you all at the National Salon Culinaire 2011.
