The establishment of China National Culinary Team in the Olympic German cooking contest

After 22 years of absence China will once again send a National Culinary Team to compete at the 2016 Culinary Olympics in Erfurt, Germany.

The CCA is proud to present to the world the greatness of China's diverse food culture and wide ranging cuisine. A pallet of flavours and rich culinary culture unlike any other, China will stun and amaze the world with our national culinary teams presentations of our truly unparalleled national cuisines.  - Said President Jian Jun Xiang.

Team Consultant Rick Stephens said some of the keys to success for China on their quest for Olympic glory will be firstly, to adapt Chinese cuisine to the requirements and parameters of the event. As an example, adapting to individual plated dishes instead of family style service. Working together to create a champion unified team with a single vision will be the first order of business to create a solid foundation for the team to work towards their combined vision.

Culinary legend and China’s Living National Treasure Chef Yao Yan Li has agreed and committed his time as a mentor to the newly formed China National Team. Chef Li, a 57 years veteran of the Chinese culinary arts was a member of the 1988 team that competed in Frankfurt. This was the only other time China had made an appearance at the Culinary Olympics. His commented, with fond memories, that it was like a long-awaited dream come true to have China appear at the Culinary Olympics for a second time. He was very proud and humbled to be part of this truly historic moment in China culinary journey.

他说，为通过在国际顶级赛事舞台上展示中餐悠久深厚的文化积淀和与时俱进的烹饪技艺，加强与世界各国同行的文化、技艺交流，提升民族自信心和行业凝聚力，时隔20年，中国烹饪协会决定组建中国国家烹饪代表队，参加2016年在德国爱尔福特举办的第25届德国奥林匹克烹饪大赛。

据介绍，为准确把握国际大赛要领，更好地展示现代中餐技艺水平，中国烹饪协会特别聘请世厨联亚洲主席里克·史蒂芬担任中国国家烹饪队总顾问；同时还邀请了原德国奥林匹克烹饪大赛中国国家队的核心人物李耀云和葛贤萼两位大师作为中国国家烹饪队技术顾问。

据悉，中国烹饪协会已经选拔了10名国家烹饪队集训队队员，选拔过程还在继续。中国烹饪协会表示，将从全国范围内选拔能够代表中国水准的、优秀的、高素质的名青年厨师前往参赛。
