The Centre for Culinary Management at HTMi, has launched its new Professional Guest Chef Programme inviting some of the top chefs from around the world. This is part of our strategy to grow the presence of the Centre for Culinary Management in the global professional culinary management network. The Chefs visiting HTMi will be invited to stay as long as required to coach our culinary students, support culinary events and work with the Chefs at HTMi to create exchange culinary concepts and create unique menus to support the Swiss Culinary Art concept for international taste palates. Wine and dish pairing is also a key focus.

The Programme was launched in 2009 with the visit of Professional Guest Chef Andreas Kurfürst, Director Food & Beverage at Renaissance Dubai Hotel, and Vice President of Emirates Culinary Guild, (http://www.emirates-culinaryguild.com)
