Demonstrating the unbreakable link between the industry of tourism and culinary arts, Geir Skeie, the Bocuse d’Or World Champion 2009 Chef shared his cooking expertise with the local hotel school students today at the Sri Lanka Institute of Tourist Hotel Management. Chef Geir Skeie arrived from Norway on March 5. At the cooking demonstration, the world renowned chef shared his knowledge of preparing a delicious Norwegian salmon dish with the local students.
