British Airways’ Commercial Manager for Ghana and Kenya, Mr Kevin Leung said he was looking forward to this year’s edition of the competition.
“I am excited about the prospect of eating all that chocolate, but more importantly, I was very impressed with the creativity and attention to detail of all the entrants last year, and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for this edition,” he explained.
In 2016, Diffusion Ltd, organisers of the Vittles Food Festival created ‘The Cacao Show,’ as the grand showpiece to round off the festival.
Six of Ghana’s top bakers and chocolatiers participated for the grand prize of a British Airways’ return flight to London, which was ultimately won by Rita Poku of the Cuppycake House.
Consultant at Diffusion Ltd,Ezinu Adogla-Bessa described the Vittles Food Festival as a “grand, fun-filled weekend of family and food-related entertainment which serves everything from waffles to waakye and from Mediterranean to Ghanaian to Caribbean cuisine. “We are always pushing for something greater, so you should definitely expect bigger surprises this year – all I can say for now is to keep a close eye on our social media pages,” she says.
The ‘Cacao Show’ is a specialised competition open to bakers, chefs, chocolatiers, patissiers etc, to showcase their skills at using cocoa and chocolate products for cooking.
“The competition helps us taste, and also learn, just how versatile one of Ghana’s most important products actually is, and this year we will be working with a Ghanaian theme, so we are really excited about the prospects,” says Adogla-Bessa.
