Slated from December 5 to 7 with opening hours from 10:00 a.m. to1:00 p.m. and 4:30 to 9:00 p.m., the show promises to be much-bigger and more interesting than the successful and well-received 2009 edition.

According to Oman Chef's Guild's Chef Gireesh Nair, "We want to bring fancy food preparation to the fore. We not only educate and arouse the interest of young talents; we drive people into the industry. Through these live cooking demonstrations, visitors will gain insight on how vegetable, chocolate, and ice carving is done."

Food & Hotel Oman project manager Abdullah Beg said, "Oman is has a huge potential market, owing to the aggressive expansion and development by the government in the tourism industry. As our objectives are aligned with the various chambers, we find it easy to encourage and attract international companies to the show, especially with the predicted growth of the industry in four to five years."

Over 100 companies from more than 15 countries will showcase their own range of the latest food and beverage, food processing technologies, branded kitchen and catering equipment, packaging systems, hotel supplies and related services.
