EAT Stockholm

EAT is a two-day high-level forum that will spearhead a holistic approach to today’s food related challenges.
Population growth, climate change, human health, resource and ecosystem management, sustainability and food security are independent, yet closely interacting fields of science and research.

Worldchefs is organizing, in collaboration with the EAT foundation, a Global Culinary Award that recognizes restaurants for innovation and leadership within the domain of healthy diet and sustainability.

The criteria for the EAT Global Culinary Award are based on Worldchefs sustainable restaurant guiding principles to make a positive change and EAT foundation Menus of Change principles.

The EAT Food Forum will unite 650 opinion leaders and sustainability experts including ex-president of USA Mr. Bill Clinton.

They are also exciting business opportunities and important political issues.
By creating an informal forum, which encourages dialogue and discourse, EAT will bring together leading scientists, policymakers and business professionals for the express purpose of advancing integrated solutions for humanity.
Visit: Eat Forum website.

The award will be announced at the EAT Food Forum to be held in Stockholm on Monday 26-27 May 2014.

I am back on track.

It’s been such a long time that I had the time and moment to write some new blog post here.
Life is a little crazy right now with a lot of work and all the changes in the family moving here, but things are settling down nicely.

The work here in Kosta are inspiring and extremely fascinating in a new unusual way that I did not expect from the start, all the staff really get me going every day and I do enjoy it.

Bocuse d`Or the semifinals are next week in Stockholm and we all cross our fingers for Tommy’s favor, we do have some excellent chefs here J

The Unic family are celebrating Tammy´s sweet eighteen and we are all extremely happy for this amazing young woman that she have become, I love you to death darling.

A well-known Swedish Chef Dragan Unic, originally from Serbia, is famous for his straightforward way of cooking that makes him an interesting and entertaining seminar holder. Chef Dragan is a board member of the Swedish Chefs Association, including the national culinary senior and junior teams, and an active partner in the Skåne Culinary Team. Cooking for more than 30 years on the culinary scene in some of the best restaurants in the world has made Chef Unic well-known in international chef’s circles. Not only he is an honorary member of several associations and an international judge, Dragan Unic is also a certified Sommelier, specialized in food and wine pairing.

“Having been born in Serbia, raised in Sweden and travelled the world have thought me a precious lesson – networking, personal contact and understanding mutual differences is of major importance. Therefore, every CD has a task to communicate with its members, to understand their ways of doing things and goals they want to achieve, sense their difficulties, and finally guide them towards appropriate solutions for the benefit of all”.
