Anáhuac University represents Latin America at the 11th International Chef Olympiad

Sabrina Di Constanzo and chef Carlos Barrera showcased Anáhuac University’s culinary talent at this prestigious event in India.

From February 2 to 8, 2025, Sabrina Di Constanzo Araujo (5th semester of the Bachelor's Degree in Gastronomy) and Carlos Barrera Palacios, instructor chef at LCB/Anahuac, represented the School of Tourism and Gastronomy at the 11th International Chef Olympiad held in different cities in India. This event is held annually, with the participation of approximately 50 countries, which are represented by a participating student and a mentor chef.

The Olympiad is divided into three stages:

1. The first consists of a competition between groups from ten countries, during which participants must demonstrate their basic culinary skills and techniques by preparing a vegan dish using pre-selected ingredients.
2. In the second stage, the contestants who will compete in the Silver Final and who are ranked 11th to 20th are chosen.
3. The last stage is the Gold Final for the top ten competitors.
In each round, a group of specialized international chefs serve as judges at all stages.

It should be noted that this event is by invitation only, with one university per country participating. This is also the third time that Anahuac has participated in this Olympiad.

Although our representative went on to the Silver Final, her participation allowed her to network with other schools and universities, as it is undoubtedly a source of pride to be the only Latin American university selected. 

With the presence of our students in these competitions, we consolidate their professional growth and reaffirm the quality of the education offered by Anáhuac Mexico University.
