The 5th festival of Greek Cuisine will take place on the 26th of June 2010 in the newly open Hotel Swing **** in Cracow.
    
The festival is held on an annual basis and its aim is to promote in Poland the traditional Greek cuisine, authentic, regional recipes and products among hoteliers, restaurant owners, chefs and cooks as well as among consumers.

The main idea of the festival is not the promotion of Greece or the change of tastes but the facilitation of access to information, exchange of experience and incentive to “experiment” in “Polish cuisine”. That is why many domestic and international companies which are present on the market will participate in the event and we will make use of their service, offer and solutions.

The planned attractions of the 5th Festival of Greek Cuisine:

•    The 5th Festival of Greek Cuisine will be officially opened by the Ambassador of Greece to Poland

•    The representatives of the Athens Chef Club Chapter will grace the Festival with their presence and artistry. Together with KSK Poland they will be cooking with our Stars “Chief Chefs Show”.

•    The Festival is also a great opportunity to meet new culinary talents. Young Polish cooks, under the watchful eye of  Chefs’ Club, will be able to present their skills in the “Culinary Competition”, in which 12 cooks from Poland will take part. Their task will be to prepare dishes using authentic Greek products. The winner of the Festival will be nominated to participate in the Final Culinary Competition Chef of the Year 2011 organized by the Chefs’ Club Foundation, and in KPP 2010 – The Culinary Cup of Poland 2010.
