Unilever 50 Years and HKCA Cookbook Launch

On December 4, 2007, top chefs in Hong Kong and food industry leaders gathered in a special event to celebrate the 50^th Anniversary of Knorr in Hong Kong. The night-long event turned out to be a memorable night for everyone who participated.

One of the highlights of the event was the launch of the cookbook entitled “A Blend of Western Know-how and Eastern Mastery”. 50 famous chefs, 25 each from both Chinese and Western cuisines, were brought together to share their favourite good food recipes.

 

It is no easy job to look for the top chefs in Hong Kong. Thanks to The Hong Kong Chefs Association and Hong Kong Chinese Chefs Association for helping us invite the chefs. Although some were limited by company policies, we had the full support from chefs who were eager to contribute in this meaningful project.

The 50 participating chefs enjoyed the limelight very much. A professional photographer was hired to take shots of the 50 signature dishes and 50 chef portraits. Most of the chefs’ shots were taken inside the kitchen portraying their day-to-day activities. All those shots were so candid that even the chefs loved them. We chose the best shot to be featured in the cook book, and made a personalized photo album for each of the 50 chefs as a remembrance for the wonderful experience they had.  

Each cookbook is sold at 380 HKD. Net proceeds from the cookbook sale deducting printing expenses will be donated to Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children. The kids from the charitable organization had a culinary theme performance during the gala dinner.

In order to raise funds for charity, we had an auction during the gala dinner. The auction was well-received by the guests. Three successful bidders were able to bid three signed copies of cookbooks with the highest bid of 23,000 HKD.

To end the night in a memorable way, celebrity Eliza Chen performed a series of songs and interacted with the chefs. Guests were awed as Western chefs danced playfully with Eliza and Chinese chefs sang along with her.
