The
popular Annual World Gourmet Festival, now in its 9th year, will take place 22-28 September 2008 at
the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok. Since its inception nine years ago, the World Gourmet Festival has grown
in prominence to feature an extraordinary line up of some of the world’s best chefs from all continents.
Several food festivals are hosted throughout the world,
however the Four
Seasons Hotel Bangkok is one of the very few hotels to bring award winning Master Chefs under one roof for a week long celebration of outstanding food,
superb wines and to share tips and information on how to create award-winning cuisine.

• Maurizio Quaranta, Locanda del Pilone, Alba, Italy

The event is coordinated and overseen by Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok
Executive Chef - Nicolas Schneller, Shintaro Chef - Satoshi Sawada and Biscotti
Chef - Danilo
Aiassa.
Each chef will host two evenings in one of the hotel’s restaurants; and
a cooking demonstration either for lunch or dinner. Guests can also catch them all at one time at the seven-course Gala dinner on Friday, 26h September
2008.
The World Gourmet Gala Dinner promises to be a unique and memorable
affair. A cocktail reception will take place from 7:00 pm followed by a
seven-course dinner and entertainment. A live auction will feature
exciting travel prizes that showcase sister Four Seasons hotels around
the globe.
A portion of all proceeds from the Gala dinner
will be donated to HRH Princess Soamsawali’s “Save a Child’s Life from AIDS Project” under the auspices
of the Thai Red Cross Society which provides medicine for pregnant mothers who are afflicted with
AIDS.
