Daniel Garcia Gamez, chef of restaurant Frida at Grand Velas Riviera Maya, has been selected as a finalist (6th of 36 finalists from a list of 609 participating chefs) for the grand final round of the Golden Chef Mexico Challenge, set to take place from the 9th to 12th of December in the beautiful city of Zacatecas.
As part of the prizes to be awarded, Daniel Garcia’s recipe will be included in a commemorative book about the event titled The 100 best chefs in Mexico on the Bicentennial, which will be composed of the most exquisite recipes by the biggest names in Mexican cuisine.
The Golden Chef hopes to promote knowledge of the complexity and richness of food inspired by the smells, flavors and textures of the diverse ingredients that form part of Mexico’s identity.
Congratulations Chef Garcia and good luck in the finals!
