History of the Culinary Exhibitions and Competitions
During the 19th century culinary art exhibitions were a forum for the reformers of the culinary art, like Marie Antonie
Careme, Prosper Montagne, Joseph Favre and Auguste Escoffier. Even today, in our fast paced world, the major
function of any culinary art exhibition is to provide models, as well as the podium for the international development of
the art.
Where else but at a culinary art exhibition have the public and the professional world had a chance to obtain a complete
overview of the latest culinary trends?
Without culinary art exhibitions, the rising generation cannot go ahead about thinking as of what is to be done in the
field. It may be possible today to travel to each and every corner of the world, but not everybody has the time of the
financial means. Through these culinary exhibitions, one has the opportunity to see newer developments and exotic
creations from the alien cultures.
Culinary art exhibitions are a world-wide window. Chefs cooks, apprentices and students can have a chance to get
inspired and to incorporate into their daily work what they have been and experienced
