Beer is reviving in kitchens throughout Europe and is fast becoming a staple in numerous dishes. In gastronomic terms, a good beer can be evaluated in the same way as how one would characterise a good wine.

To bring this philosophy to greater heights in Asia, the upcoming World Gourmet Summit will feature an exceptional Gourmet Beer Masterclass on 10 April 2003 from 6.00pm to 8.00pm at The Regent Singapore for the first time. With the focus of food and beer pairing, this exclusive class will advocate the art of matching beer with the cuisine of Robert Mayer, executive chef of The Regent Singapore.

Mayer will also present a series of cuisine that is specifically created to match the characteristics of the beers being featured.

The beer tasting-food pairing session include premium gourmet beers such as Stella Artois®, Hoegaarden® White, Hoegaarden® Forbidden Fruit, Leffe® Blonde, Leffe® Dark and Belle Vue® Kriek.


Herwig Van Hove

Special Guest Presenter, Mr. Herwig Van Hove who is also Belgium's most celebrated TV chef, beer connoisseur, wine columnist and part-time professor, will expound on the magic of beer and food. Van Hove has also penned several books, including The Glory of Veal Cuisine, Eat and Let Them Eat and 100,000 seconds, 100 best of the show 1000 seconds, a companion book to his 1000 Seconds TV Cooking Show.
