Local chefs showcase skills and explore new networking partnerships in an exciting and action-packed setting," said Yasser Jad, president of Saudi Arabian Chefs Association.
He stated that the main aim of this competition is to find very young talented chefs to build their talents for the future and off course to upgrade the hospitality industry here in Saudi Arabia.
Speaking also about the competitions, Thomas Gugler, executive master chef and WACS continental director Africa& Middle East added: "It gives us great pleasure to welcome and help the junior members of the industry by giving them the opportunity to take part in the competition. The standard of entries at Jeddah Cooking Competition is always high, and the event is a formidable test of a young chef's personal courage and determination to develop and improve their culinary skills."
Gugler said that around 200 amateur and professional chefs from across Jeddah have signed to compete in this year's competition. The number of contestants has increased in both live cooking and showpiece categories this time and also the number of Saudi competitors has also marked a significant increase, according to Gugler.
Gugler stated that the registered chefs' dishes will be judged by a panel of professional chefs from all over the world.
