Meet the Suriname Culinary Team 2015!

The Suriname Culinary Team 2015!

Last April they competed and won to make it to the team. In the months after that, they supported the Suriname Culinary Team 2014 in their fundraising dinners and also showed some of their skills during the last Moksi Alesi Strey and De Surinaamsche Bank 150th Anniversary celebration. But in case you missed them… no sweat… it’s time for the fundraising dinners again!

In short:

  • Why: To gain funds and experience for the Taste of the Caribbean Competition in Miami
  • Who: The Suriname Culinary Team 2015
  • When*: The first one starts at February, 2nd
  • Where*: The first one will be held at Spice Quest

*The date is already fixed, but the location will be a different one every time.
This is not only to promote different venues, let guests have a different setting every time, but also have a different cooking site for the chefs. It’s important for them to get used to different working environments, so that they’ll be prepared for whatever space they might get.

So… let’s meet the team!!!
