A team made up of Humber graduates, faculty and students has taken home a gold medal at the international Culinary Olympics, held in Erfurt, Germany. Competing against 54 other teams, Humber was one of only two Canadian teams to win gold in the Regional division.
Established in 1900, the Culinary Olympics are held every four years in Erfurt. This year, 59 nations with 148 teams competed in a range of divisions including National, Junior National, Regional, Community and Individual.
Over the course of the event, which ran from October 22 to 25, competitors had to prepare eight servings of:
- three different appetizers
- a five course meal
- petit-fours (four pastry varieties)
- four different dessert plates
- a buffet platter with 3 different varieties of terrines plus garnishes, - again for eight people
- four types of finger foods
"We couldn't be more proud of our Humber Culinary Olympic team, made up of talented faculty, graduates and students," said Rudi Fischbacher, who is an associate dean in Humber's School of Hospitality, Recreation & Tourism and accompanied the team to Germany. "Competitions like these give students a chance to experience the challenge of working in a high-pressure culinary environment, while exposing them to some of the best chefs in the world. It's an unparalleled learning opportunity."
The Humber team spent 15 months preparing for last month's competition. This is the school's first gold medal.
