Within the framework of Gulfood 2026, the world’s leading food and beverage exhibition, Chilean gastronomy once again stood out on the international stage through an outstanding live cooking session held at the Chile Pavilion. The event brought the flavors of southern Chile to Dubai, capturing the attention of a diverse, global audience and reaffirming Chile’s position as a key player in premium food exports.
The culinary demonstration was led by Chilean chef Cristóbal Ruiz, who showcased the versatility, quality, and innovation behind Chilean products, with salmon as the central ingredient. Originally from Chillán, in southern Chile, Chef Ruiz has more than 20 years of experience as a chef instructor and currently serves as an instructor at ICCA Abu Dhabi. His professional career spans Spain, Denmark, England, Scotland, and Chile, along with experience as a restaurant owner.
