Held on 3 May 2024 at Politeknik International Bali, this event was a showcase of budding culinary talents, highlighting their innovative skills and passion for gastronomy.
Disciples Escoffier Indonesia, a non-profit association linked with Disciples Escoffier International, can trace its roots back to Nice, France in 1954.
