In collaboration with Disciples D'Escoffier Asia, an international chefs' association, the Futian Shangri-La Hotel Shenzhen in Guangdong province brought French culture to the city on Monday by inviting Michelin-starred chef Christian Tetedoie, president of the Association of Master Chefs of France, to present a special French dinner at the hotel.
The culinary event is a prelude to a larger event to be held in July, when 15 French Michelin-starred chefs are expected to gather at the hotel to prepare authentic French cuisine.
Monday's event featured cocktails and dinner, during which three cold items and four hot items, which were cooked in front of guests, were offered.
Tetedoie is currently on a world tour to promote French cuisine and Shenzhen is the only mainland city to be included in his itinerary. He will also visit Hong Kong and Macao.
Elected by 460 top French and Michelin-starred chefs from all over the world, Tetedoie said he is dedicated to promoting French cuisine to other countries and hopes more Chinese people can learn about and enjoy French cuisine.
