The European Culinary Week is a celebration of European cuisine featuring award-winning European Michelin Starred chefs in a weeklong culinary tour that will showcase European Geographical Indications produce to the Philippines.
During the European Culinary Week, guests will discover different authentic European cuisines, culinary students will have the opportunity to meet and work with distinguished European chefs, and businesses will be able to network and establish connections for potential importation of EU products. Happening on Sept. 10 to 16, the event also aims to spark an interest and discussion on the potential benefits of utilizing the Geographical Indications system in the Philippines.
The European Culinary Week has three parts: Charity Dinner, Culinaria, and Culinary Weekend happening in Manila and Cebu. The Charity Dinner, happening on Sept. 10 at the Grand Hyatt Manila, BGC, is a 5-course meal prepared by award-winning European chefs to raise funds for two charities: the Lighthouse Club Manila and the Chosen Children Foundation.
The Culinaria showcases the creations of the award-winning European chefs in an open kitchen and provides a high-end European gastronomic experience by way of a walk-through dinner. On Sept. 12 at the Grand Hyatt Manila, seven chefs will prepare two dishes each for all guests. Guests will also be treated to a splendid Cheese Extravaganza with cheeses from different parts of Europe. Each course will be paired with various beverages (cocktails, beer, wine and liquor).
Lastly, the Culinary Weekend on Sept. 14 to 16 at the Crimson Mactan Resort & Spa, Cebu will provide each guest a unique culinary experience of discovering different European flavors through a welcome barbecue dinner (Friday), a TAPAS lunch and gala dinner (Saturday), and a closing European brunch (Sunday) prepared by a diverse group of talented award-winning European chefs, paired with different wines, beers, and liquor.
