The Worldchefs Congress has 92 years of history as it was founded in 1928 in Paris and today represents culinary professionals in 110 countries, with over 100 official chefs associations as members representing over 10 million professional chefs worldwide
The African Culinary Cup was launched by the South African Chefs Association (SACA) on 4 September at Info Chef Africa 2013 with the aim to encourage learning, camaraderie and skills development within Africa’s culinary world.
It’s not the first time the Namchefs Association has participated in the African Culinary Cup as they also competed in the first event of its kind in Africa in 2013 where they took first place.
Endorsed by the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS), junior national culinary teams from Zimbabwe, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Lesotho and the United Arab Emirates competed in the challenge, and it was the team of chefs from Egypt who out-cooked the other competitors to come out tops.
