World
Gourmet Summit enters into its fifth year
with the focus on "The Rising Stars of
the Century" to mark the beginning of
a new gourmet adventure in the 21st century.
 Jointly
organised by Singapore Tourism Board and
Peter Knipp Holdings Pte Ltd, this epicurean
adventure will begin from 22 April - 27
April 2001.
World Gourmet Summit was conceptualized
with the aim to promote the culinary arts
through a global approach, entailing the
creation of a macro-gastronomic event
in Singapore that appeals to both trade
and the consumer.
Internationally-acclaimed chefs are invited
to promote their culinary craft in our
local environment. In a series of events
held over a week, world-class vintners
and other distinguished food and beverage
related professionals add a new dimension
to the Summit in its entirety. This provides
active interaction in the culinary field
with the exchange of tips and ideologies
benefiting all parties - regional chefs
and invited chefs from the international
scene, restauranteurs, food and beverage
professionals.
