Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to invite your Country to take part in the


4th One World Culinary Competition

This event will be organized from 21st till 23rd of May 2009
Together with the 1st regional competition
“Balkan Culinary Cup”
In main city of Serbia, Belgrade

Held for the first time in Iceland in April 2006, the One World Culinary Competition was born of a discussion between South Africa and Iceland. The idea of the competition belongs to Dr. Billy Gallagher and Mr. Gissur Gudmundsson and occurred to them in 2004 at the WACS meeting in Erfurt, Germany. Initially the concept behind this competition is a continental challenge on the northern and southern tips of the globe, alternating each year between Iceland and South Africa. One of the most significant aspects of the competition is the promotion of each continent’s unique and innovative culinary influences.

At the last competition in Kazan, republic of Tatarstan (Russia) which was organized in April 2008, at the suggestion of Mr. Kostic Djordje, the President of Serbian Chefs Association and at the request of Mr. Gissur Gudmundsson, WACS president, all participants have agreed that the next “One World Culinary Cup” should be held in Belgrade, Serbia. This suggestion was accepted on that event, with the special thanks to mis Euda Morales (President of Guatemalan Chefs Association).

Chefs from all over the world will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and will compete in seven competition kitchens in front of an audience of chefs, hoteliers and restaurateurs from all over Serbia and Balkan region countries.

We hereafter would like invite a team of three participants to come to the event and to represent your country in this innovative and promising competition. The organizers provide accommodation (for four or five nights depending on the flight schedule), transfers within Belgrade, program of visiting local restaurants and an exciting cultural program for a chef, a jury member and a journalist of your country. The organizers do not cover flights expenses.

We will be happy to see you and your team with all best wishes that we are going to have a nice time and good new professional experience.

Sincerely yours,

Uros Urosevic
Vice president of Culinary Federation of Serbia
Board member of Serbian Chefs Association
