SINGAPORE, August 2009 – Chef André Chiang of Jaan par André at Swissôtel The Stamford, Singapore, teams up with Sydney culinary icon and owner of Marque restaurant, Mark Best, to present exemplary French nouvelle cuisine at the Sydney Morning Herald's brand new Sydney International Food Festival (SIFF) in October.
Sharing a pure love for the fine art of French cuisine, Chefs André Chiang and Mark Best are set to be Sydney's most anticipated culinary pairing when the inaugural World Chef Showcase debuts at SIFF this 9 to 11 October.
As a major highlight of the month-long food festival, the World Chef Showcase comprises a series of exclusive dinners, discussions and culinary demonstrations that will bring together Sydney's biggest culinary stars – Rockpool's Neil Perry, Brent Savage of Bentley Bar, Justin North of Becasse, etc – as well as the world's top-rated chefs including three-Michelin-star Sebastien Bras; Madrid, Spain's two-Michelin-star Sergi Arola and many more.
Chef André will present a one-night only nine-course dinner at Marque on 8 October alongside Sydney star Chef Mark and his team, showcasing his signature French nouvelle palette of pure flavours, unique ingredients and creative harmonies of texture and taste. Having recently celebrated a remarkable first year as Chef de Cuisine at Jaan par André, Chef André is perfectly poised to charm Sydney-siders' sharpened palates with distinctive cuisine that has impressed Singapore's gourmet elite and redefined culinary standards in Asia.
Honoured to be included in the World Chef Showcase's stellar line-up, Chef André is looking forward to presenting his unique approach to Australian ingredients. He shares, "Australia is now the New World destination for top quality produce. I'm very excited to introduce my concept of cuisine featuring Australian ingredients to Sydney, to present creations that feature the country's produce at its best."
Joanna Savill, Festival Director of SIFF, is confident that Chef André will be a success with Sydney's bon vivant set, "André embodies the essence of world class chefs today – culinarians who are known for their extraordinary creativity as well as their ability to move effortlessly between East and West in terms of food cultures, traditions, techniques and inspirations. These are qualities which I am trying to highlight with the World Chef Showcase."
Chef André will also be participating in a culinary demonstration and symposium discussion held during the World Chef Showcase.
