🌿 Celebrating Bhutanese Vegetarian Cuisine in Phuentsholing 🌿
The Bhutanese Vegetarian Culinary Training concluded successfully with a closing ceremony graced by our esteemed Chief Guest, Dasho Drugpa, distinguished guests, trainer, and all participating chefs.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dasho Drugpa and all our distinguished guests for joining us and making the occasion special. Our sincere appreciation also goes to our funding partners, V4GCP and HAB, for making this Bhutanese Vegetarian Culinary Training possible, and to the Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) Regional Office for their support in organizing this program.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our trainer, Chef Krishna Lepcha, all participating chefs, coordinators, partners, and everyone who contributed their valuable time, dedication, and support to the success of this initiative.
A special highlight of the closing ceremony was the launch of our Authentic Bhutanese Vegetarian Recipe Book, created to preserve and promote our rich culinary heritage while encouraging healthier, compassionate, and sustainable food choices. The participating chefs were also awarded certificates in recognition of their successful completion of the training.
As Phuentsholing is our border town and welcomes many visitors from India, it is important to have authentic Bhutanese dishes that allow our Indian guests and other visitors to experience and taste the unique flavors of Bhutan.
We hope the skills and knowledge gained through this training will help preserve our rich culinary heritage, strengthen Bhutanese cuisine in the hospitality sector, and promote healthier and more sustainable food choices.
Together, let us continue to celebrate and promote the rich flavors of Bhutan through authentic vegetarian cuisine. 🌱🇧🇹 Handicrafts Association of BhutanBhutan Chamber of Commerce & Industry
