The Indian Culinary Forum (ICF), the apex body of professional chefs in India, honoured some of the best chefs in India at the country’s biggest culinary awards as a part of the celebration of International Chefs Day. Renowned master chefs and hospitality industry veterans graced the 19th edition of the prestigious awards at Hotel Pride Plaza, Aerocity, New Delhi. The award winners were felicitated by the chief guest of the evening Arvind Singh, Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism.
Seventeen outstanding culinary artists were awarded in multiple categories, including the lifetime achievement award, golden chef of the year, silver chef of the year, and others, at the glittering ceremony in the presence of over 400 industry professionals, young chefs, and youngsters looking to make a career in the industry.
In his address, Chef Davinder Kumar, President of the Indian Culinary Forum, said, the idea behind instituting the Chef Awards was to provide both veteran and upcoming chefs a platform to exhibit and hone their culinary skills.
We are thankful to the industry participants, jury members, associates, and sponsors for their support in making the awards successful. We are thrilled to see that the experience gained by the chefs here has helped them maximise their potential and growth, and we hope the awards continue to inspire and encourage more chefs.”
