World Gourmet Summit 2017 – Epicurean Delights ft. Protégés of Gaston Acurio

This is an exciting, never before seen collaboration. Peruvian-born, Singapore-based Chef Daniel Chavez is teaming up with 4 of his countrymen to bring a truly authentic taste of Peru to Singapore. With special Peruvian ingredients flown in by the Embassy of Peru in Singapore especially for this event, guests will have the chance to try the incredible range of flavours and techniques of comida Peruana for themselves.
 
Alan Larrea Rivas, Elizabeth Torres Sinche, Roy Proleon Tangoa and Laura Villalta Riega are students from Fundacion Pachacutec, founded by Peruvian chef, Gastón Acurio in 2007.
 
Chef Acurio is widely acknowledged as one of the most important ambassadors of Peruvian gastronomy in the world and his personal support of the project has elevated it to levels of gastronomic excellence which most culinary schools and social projects can only dream of. His considerable standing in the culinary world has helped him secure some serious star power to educate the students as guest instructors. The school counts Ferran Adria and Andoni Luis Aduriz as some of their esteemed guest instructors. Graduates can now be found in many of the top-ranked restaurants in the world, with many expected to become culinary powerhouses in their own right, in the years to come.
