Memories of the imprints left on the taste buds of food connoisseurs who attended the GTCO Food and Drink Festival have remained refresh in the minds. These people experienced firsthand the preparation of the array of dishes served during the fiesta by various chefs.
Beyond their culinary skills, the chefs also showcased their sense of style in their fitted coats, with unique designs, colours, or stripes
Some wore traditional toques for trendy hats like beanies at the Master Class. Probably in appreciation of GTCO for giving them the platform, some of the chefs wore GTCO orange aprons that had bold designs which added a stylish touch while others personalised their aprons. Talk about standout footwear like sneakers and that drew attention as the chefs demonstrated their culinary skills to the audience.
The chefs whose culinary skills stir memories of the attendees include the following. Robin McBride Takes: Uncorking your wine potential; Maunika Gowardhan: a celebration of Indian home cooking; Lisa Brooks: Southern Coastal Cuisine; Uche Uzoka: Kids Baking Masterclass, Gale Gand: Mastery Creamy Chocolate desserts, Aldo Zilli: Beyond Pasta: A holistic approach to Italian cuisine; Angel Vasquez: Mexican cuisine, mestizaje and culture; Ryan Mitchell: The classic French master class with a twist; Bunny Young: Authentic New Creole food; Jean Novelli: The classic French Masterclass with a twist, Chef Bo and Chef Dylan: Structure of Thai Food through “Jaew”
