A Culinary Journey of Love, Passion, and Tradition

A Culinary Journey of Love, Passion, and Tradition

During the Francophonie Festival's closing day, a renowned French chef, Stephane Collet, showcased the artisanship and elegance of French gastronomy at the Jeddah residence of the French consul general, Mohammed Nehad.
The exclusive lunch was attended by Saudi press representatives to introduce them to the delights of French cuisine, which was recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage in 2010.

The text is about Stephan Collet, a French chef, who developed a passion for cooking from family meals prepared by his grandmothers and parents.

This passion led him to pursue a career as a chef, and he trained at the Touquet Hotel School.

Influenced by renowned chefs, he worked towards becoming a Meilleur Ouvrier de France.

Collet's professional experience, both in France and abroad, honed his culinary skills.

The text also mentions a dish he prepared, which includes fresh fillet of white fish with a creamy sauce, asparagus, and a mini sweet pepper stuffed with ratatouille.

Chef Collet, a French culinary expert, has been teaching new chefs since 2011.

In 2018, he was awarded the title Meilleur Ouvrier de France.

Collet cooks with love and respects ingredients, preserving French gastronomic heritage.

He visited Jeddah's fish market for a seafood banquet, marveling at the diverse fish and shrimp varieties.

The banquet featured a shrimp and mousseline starter with a creamy tomato broth, and a main course of white fish with a creamy sauce, asparagus, and a ratatouille-stuffed pepper.

During the Francophonie Festival's closing ceremony, guests were served crepes topped with citrus caramel sauce, orange slices, and marmalade.

Collet and his team catered to over 80 guests.

As the festival ended, the celebration continued with a lively display of music, dance, and traditional clothing from Francophone countries.
