On the 16^th – 19^th of September the well established Aegina peanut festival was carried out whereby thousands of people flocked to the island to take part. The whole island seemed to be celebrating the festival with many events taking place to commemorate the festival.

CyChefs’ George Kyprianou was a guest at the festival who was fortunate enough to experience the islands traditions and the immense hospitality of its residence.

George had the opportunity to be a part of the best dish (containing the Aegina peanut) competition.

On the 25^th of September the Tourist Development Forum of Nicosia successfully organized the ‘Cypriot Ice cream Fair’ for the second consecutive year. The fair was brought about with the cooperation of the Cyprus Tourism Association, the Nicosia Municipality and the Cypriot Chamber of Commerce. Over fifteen thousand people were able to taste various creations all in reference to ice cream.

The Cyprus Chefs Association was also present at the fair with Paniko Theodosiou, Omiro Iliadi, George Kyprianou and Andonis Nicolaou all actively participating in the event. In fact, they were responsible for preparing sweet dumplings and other sweets that make great accompaniments to ice cream.

As always, CyChefs were present (George and Andonis) – to give valuable advice and recipes to the public.
