LADALAT WIN THE 1ST PRIZE IN THE COOKING CONTEST

The contest with the participation of more than 60 professional chefs from localities across Vietnam has taken place in the Valley of Love on September 19.
On September 19, at the Valley of Love in Da Lat, the Lam Dong - Da Lat Tourism Association organized a performance competition to set the record for cooking 100 artichoke dishes to spread Vietnamese cuisine throughout the world. The contest drew the participation of 20 teams. Each team consisted of 3 professional chefs from localities across Vietnam.

According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Huong, Chairman of the Professional Chef Association of Lam Dong province and the head of the jury, the event was held to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the establishment of Da Lat city and promote agricultural products of Da Lat, including artichoke.
The contest was also an opportunity for professional chefs to connect nationally, network, learn from each other and develop their culinary skills. The event and twenty teams set a Vietnam record for cooking the largest number of artichoke dishes at one time.
Artichoke is not only a valuable medicinal plant but also food originating in Europe and cultivated in Da Lat for nearly 100 years. They may improve several aspects of health, including improving gallbladder and kidneys, liver detox, body purification, preventing atherosclerosis and reducing cholesterol…
In recent years, dishes made from artichokes have been become high-end dishes of Vietnamese cuisine. In early April, the Asian Records Organization recognized 9 new Asian records for Vietnamese dishes and groups of dishes/ specialties, including Da Lat artichokes.
The popular way to use artichokes is to make tea and cook some simple dishes. However, with artichokes as the main ingredient, chefs skillfully make a multitude of delectable dishes, blending unique Asian and European flavors such as sturgeon cartilage artichoke soup, artichoke chicken hotpot, artichoke mooncakes, H'Mong chicken stewed with artichokes….
