One Small Step for Mankind
The World Association of Chefs’ Societies has partnered with the Space Club Kitchen and the Frankfurt event and festival agency BigCityBeats GmbH. As part of the “BigCityBeats Space Club Kitchen,” the whole world will cook a complete meal together with ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer on the International Space station ISS in March 2022. To allow everyone the opportunity to take part and prepare the dish together, an internet stream from the ISS and more than 50 global dinner events will appear on humanity’s most iconic monuments such as the pyramids, while also being broadcast on television. “I think this is the biggest thing that can happen. Music, food, everything together is the perfect combination to unite people and bring them closer together,” expressed Thomas Andreas Gugler, VP of a multi-billion-dollar organisation and President of Worldchefs.
Next Level Finger Lickin’
A KFC drumstick dusted in gold and sprinkled with quinoa. That’s right, the La Di Da Drumstick (aka Fried Gold) is just one of the 11 unique dishes Aussie KFC fans can experience as part of the fast-food giant’s world first degustation restaurant in Sydney. Developed in partnership with chef patron and owner of Sydney’s nel. restaurant, Nelly Robinson (aka Australia’s degustation king), KFC fans will be taken on a very different culinary journey that sees the Colonel’s finest feeds elevated to new heights in theatrical and playful ways.
Celebrity Chef Fundraising for Tonga
Two months on from the devastating volcanic eruption, Chef Robert Oliver has joined forces with Unicef and launched a life-changing auction to raise money for Tonga. “We cannot forget Tonga. After a disaster of this scale, we know that the complex needs of communities are ongoing and require significant support,” Oliver said. “It’s not just about fundraising, it’s also about keeping Tonga front of mind.” Oliver has worked with Unicef in the Pacific for many years. Unicef Aotearoa chief executive Michelle Sharp said the charity was extremely grateful to Oliver and his friends for their help. “Supporting children, families and communities in Tonga would not have been possible without generous supporters and partners from around Aotearoa.”
