USJ’s IGE invited Michelin-starred chef Davy Tissot for a four-day gastronomic and educational extravaganza.
In a rare trip to the Middle East, chef Davy Tissot visited Beirut to inspire culinary arts students at IGE at Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ). The event, which took place in mid-September, was organized in partnership with LYFE Alliance (formerly Paul Bocuse).
Professor Salim Daccache s.j., rector of USJ, and professor Celine Saab, director of IGE, welcomed Davy, 2021 Bocuse D’or winner, and Maxime Moise, the strategic partnerships manager at LYFE Alliance. The students were able to watch Tissot and IGE’s chef Chadi Raad curate a vibrant, creative feast. The meal concluded with a dessert created by Charles Azar, the Middle East’s master pastry chef.
Saab said: “This event offered IGE students a genuine opportunity to explore the passion and talent driving the culinary world’s highest level.”
Tissot also shared his experiences and provided valuable career insights to inspire culinary arts students. The event was hailed a success.
