Chef Henok as a True Culinary Diplomat! 🇪🇹🌍

Chef Henok is a warm, approachable, and respected brother whose integrity and positive spirit are widely recognized across the hospitality and culinary industry.

Culinary Diplomacy is about using food to build cultural understanding, strengthen international relationships, and share national identity with the world. Chef Henok has truly proven himself to be a remarkable ambassador of this mission.

Representing Ethiopia at the 2026 Chefs Festival in South Africa and Eswatini, Chef Henok Zerihun, President of the Ethiopian Chefs Association, was also elected as the President of the East African Chefs Association. Furthermore, Ethiopia has been selected to host the 2027 African Chefs Festival—a remarkable achievement that makes us all proud.

Chef Henok, you truly deserve this success! 👏🇪🇹 We stand proudly behind you and are all by your side as we work together to take Ethiopia’s culinary art and industry to greater heights.

Your contribution to promoting Ethiopia’s name, culture, and identity through culinary diplomacy on the global stage is truly inspiring and something we can all be proud of.

Keep going, Chef! The best is yet to come! 🇪🇹🌍👏🔥
