Ergonomics!

"Ergonomics" or "human engineering" is my word to describe the Egyptian Chefs Association! Simple word to describe a society that provides all Egyptians with great support for training, and education to young chefs and senior chefs. Over the past 15 years that it's been in existence, the ECA has managed to provide excellent international curriculums in training and workshops in all kitchen aspects and sections. From culinary computations to outstanding organization skills, the result has been spectacular both domestically & internationally.

Thanks to the outstanding training and logistical support by the ECA, we can now be proud of the National team who have achieved great results as individual chefs as well as team.

It was an honor to be a part of the judging panel at the last HACE'11 culinary competitions. There, the entire ECA team was deployed, providing all a chef need from culinary books, workshop handouts, to videos and jackets... it's a society within a society, doing super work!
At HACE, what struck me was also seeing the families come out to support their young, fathers and mothers that came to encourage their young chefs to try to win; and witnessing young ladies given the chance to work in the kitchen and compete, and seeing them perform as well as the male chefs, all this was heart-warming.

I am just so proud to have been part of such a team.
Many thanks!
