The IKA\/Culinary Olympics not only brings together the Olympic spirit, culinary highlights and great tradition, but also chefs from all over the world. Until the time comes in February 2024 in Stuttgart, “Faces” from a wide variety of nations are already gathering digitally – on the “IKA Faces Wall<\/a>“. Among others, Portugal, China, Romania and Germany are taking part. All chefs as well as families, fans and IKA enthusiasts can proudly show their portraits on the “Faces Wall” and thus support the IKA\/Culinary Olympics.<\/p>\n

“The IKA is special for me: thousands of people meet, who all have the same passion and come from all over the world. When I am sometimes at home in my little world, struggling with the problems of gastronomy, it is always nice to see at such events that our cooking profession has a future. And that there are many dedicated and motivated chefs. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have become part of the IKA Faces Wall, on the one hand to draw attention to this event and to support it. And on the other hand to show face that the cooking profession is one of the most beautiful in the world.”<\/span><\/p>\n
