Watch how this supermarket got people to buy their trash

Eating 5 fruits and vegetables a day can seem like a difficult task if you aren't counting fries within that number. Sadly, approximately 300 million tons of food is wasted in a year; including those vegetables you never got around to eating. Intermarché, a chain of French supermarkets decided to do their part by purchasing the fruits and vegetables their suppliers usually throw away and sell them at a discounted price. For people to realize that the misshapen vegetables and fruits were just as good as their regular produce, they distributed "inglorious" fruit juices and soups. The end result? A success! They quickly sold out, and brought both attention and an easy solution to food waste. Genius Germans Invent Supermarket So Radically Simple You Don't Have To Speak German To Get It Original from The Epoch Times. This super German supermarket idea was featured on The Kitchn and TakePart, where you can learn more about the concept and the super successful campaign (it's in German too) to fund the first one.

   Chef Ace from Madinat Jumeirah ready to give the young chefs a great week of learning and networking, thanks Chef Ace!!!


The Nestlé Professional Golden Chef’s Hat Award is dedicated to helping junior and apprentice chefs develop their cooking skills and broaden their culinary horizons. The competition was reintroduced in South Africa in 2011 and since then has shone a spotlight on young talent. Previous winners have already made great strides in furthering the country’s foodservice industry. 

Young chefs from across the country submitted their applications to the competition via Facebook earlier this year. To be considered, they had to submit a completed entry form, motivation letter and original recipes and images for a starter, main course and dessert. 


Lead by SACA’s competitions director, Jodi-Ann Pearton, a panel of SACA-accredited judges chose the five semi-finalists teams of two who battled it out in SACA’s Tsogo Sun Centre for Culinary Excellence kitchens in Auckland Park, Johannesburg.


The winning team jets off to Dubai for the culinary experience of a lifetime, as they work in the kitchens with Chef Stephen Wright, Executive Chef Al Qasr & Dar Al Masyaf - Madinat Jumeirah. An all-expenses paid trip, the young chefs will be able to soak up the best of Arabian hospitality and enjoy accommodation at the Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management.

Fruit Carving at Stavanger 2014

Our last activity - Fruit Carving. 
Most of the YoungChefs were carving for the first time. 
YoungChefs Nat, Jessi, and Natasha started the ball rolling.
 For the boys, it was all about planning, and stenciling before anything else.
But I think Prarit and Francis were just having a ball, literally.
 YoungChef Nat from Thailand was not only quick to get the carving started, she was there to lend a hand to fellow mates. And she even lent her carving knife. Very gracious lady.
 Work of ART carved by First-Timer, Francis. 
 Female YoungChef at HACE 2014 taking pride in her work. Go Egypt!
 YoungChef Kim carved a decorative melon beautifully and effortlessly, I think Kim played too much Sepak Takraw during his free time in Malaysia.
 Before long, YoungChef Nat was onto her second project, a flower pattern carved on the watermelon.

 All about teamwork. Nat sharing her carving knife, while Kim added some touches to it.
 There you go, all out at the Fruit Table of 75metres long... with some of the creations carved by our YoungChefs.




 Thanks for all the hard work and effort put into these fruits. Well done YoungChefs! :)

 I asked the Chef to pick up her favourite piece, and it was Francis.
Can Francis please come to the Frontdesk to claim his present, lots of candies awaiting you at the Lobby. LoL

Nestle Masterclass

Nestle has conducted a Masterclass for our YoungChefs on the last day of the BGYCF. 

 We were introduced to some of the new product range, and with some fresh ingredients from Norway, we were able to sample restaurant quality food in minutes. 


 Simple yet elegant.
Nestle Chefs were busy cooking up a storm while the YoungChefs were engaged in appreciating the mixology of the ingredients, texture, combination, etc...






Thank you Nestle for the Masterclass, and for sharing some great dishes at the presentation.
