Speaking on behalf of the Association, chef Isaac said, they are there “to support their own chef, Failatu” as she works round the clock to break the Guinness world cooking record.
“We are here to show our support, honour her, and confer on her as the Executive Chef in Ghana” he addedChef Isaac indicated that the move is to encourage other chefs to also go for and win such awards to honour the name of the Association and Ghana as a whole.
According to Chef Isaac, the Ghana Chefs Association is also a member of the World Chefs Society, where they have participated in a lot of competitions around the globe and are promoting Ghana.
To this effect, the Association presented a citation, signed by the president of the Ghana Chefs Association, congratulating her.
