At the Culinary World Cup 2018 in Luxembourg, the Swiss culinary national team narrowly misses out on the podium, finishing fourth. The Swiss culinary national team's "Cold Table" is awarded gold. And the "Hot Kitchen" programme also wins the gold medal. After these two tasks, a maximum of 200 points can be achieved. The national team with the highest number of points becomes world champion. Two gold medals are thus a great appreciation for the work done.

2018 is the year of the cooking World Cup in Luxembourg, whereupon the Swiss Culinary National team 2018 as well as the Culinary Junior National team prepare intensively. According to team manager Tobia Ciarulli, mental training plays a crucial role.

The Swiss Culinary Team belongs to the best around the world. With a total score of 184.58 points it is getting the third place at the Culinary Olympics in Erfurt 2016, behind Singapore and Finland.

The 3-course Olympic menu of the Swiss Culinary National team at Henri's Bern on 27.8.16 offered the 110 guests an Olympic dining experience. The summer temperatures could not harm the cool components of the dessert; a good practice for the Cooking Olympics in Erfurt from 22 - 25.10.16. The 4th and last test run of the Swiss Culinary National team and the Culinary Junior National team will take place on 10.09.16, respectively 24.09.16 in the Swiss Hotel Management School Lucerne.

In view of the Culinary Olympics in Erfurt, the national culinary teams are already training very diligently. The test runs – among others on 27.8.2016 at Henris Restaurant & Catering in Berne – are part of these preparations.

The Swiss national Culinary teams are among the best cooking teams in the world and are the flagship of the Swiss Culinary Federation. The Culinary Junior National team even won the world championship title in November 2014. Each member invests over 1'000 hours a year in developing new creations and training. In 2015, the Culinary Junior National team and Culinary National team exclusively opened their kitchen doors to guests of DAS ZELT for the dinner show.

Due to the training for the Cooking Olympics in late autumn 2016 in Erfurt, the Dîner Spectacle 2016 will unfortunately take place without the teams, but the shows in 2017 will then possibly be given a culinary framework with the winning menu...
