The judging panel will consist of 18 international judges, headed by Alan Palmer, veteran Swiss chef and chief judge since the first competition
The winners of the International Culinary Challenge will be awarded trophies and medals as well as special prizes, such as fully hosted trips to take part in Gulf Food in Dubai and FHA in Singapore. Over 15 return airline tickets are on offer to the winners.
Let the Culinary Challenge commence and may the best chefs win!
