Welcome to the 11th International Culinary Competition of Southern Europe that will take place within the 28th International Exhibition for Food, Beverages, Machinery Equipment and Packaging, Detrop, from March 1 to March 4, 2019, at Pavillion 16 of Thessaloniki International Exhibition and Conrgress Centre, HELEXPO.

The Culinary Competition of Southern Europe is organised every two years from the Chefs Association of Northern Greece in collaboration with Thessaloniki International Exhibition and Conrgress Centre, HELEXPO and is supported by the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS). The 2017 competition has gathered more than 450 participants, outstanding Chefs and Culinary Schools, that competed on 34 categories and were evaluated by 23 international jury members, all well known professionals in gastronomic arts. On the 1oth Culinary Competition of Southern Europe we also had the pleasure to host Mr. Thomas A. Gugler, President of the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS).

The International Culinary Competition of Southern Europe is a unique opportunity to improve competitiveness, while, at the same time, it offers an educational and creative platform to Chefs from around the World. For us it more than a competition… It is a meeting point for the culinary professionals and a chance for a special tasting experience!
