International Gastronomy Conference Features U.S. Rice
Jan 05, 2017
Ready to share
ISTANBUL, TURKEY – Last month, USA Rice participated in a huge culinary event here called “Gastromasa.“ More than 600 chefs and food professionals from Turkey and around the world gathered to learn about new products and trends as well as help develop the gastronomy sector in Turkey by creating new partnerships and introducing foreign cuisines and ingredients to the Turkish palate.
At the conference, world-renowned chefs and investors shared their stories, experiences, and perspectives. Speakers were a Who’s Who of global gastronomy, including Rice Krispy devotee Albert Adria, paella master Andoni Luis Aduriz, and Elena Arzak, named Best Female Chef of the World in 2012.
Seventy booths, including one from USA Rice, welcomed guests with the latest culinary information. USA Rice’s booth distributed brochures and displayed U.S. rice samples, aimed at introducing different U.S. rice varieties including Calrose, Jupiter, and wild rice and wild rice mixes as a means of increasing profitability while providing nutritious and flavorful meals to restaurant patrons.
U.S. rice was also featured on the menu of the event itself. The executive chef of CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel prepared different meals with U.S. rice and U.S. rice mixes that were offered at lunch to hundreds of participants.
