MULTI-EVENTS U.S. BEEF PROGRAM BUILDS DIVERSE SKILLS AND CULINARY VIBRANCY AMONG EGYPTIAN CHEFS
U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) and the Texas Beef Council (TBC), in partnership with the Egyptian Chefs Association, launched a dynamic multi-event program to bolster Egypt’s burgeoning hospitality industry through technical seminars, hands-on trainings, and competitions.
A culinary voyage commenced at Modern Culinary, where 25 talented young chefs delved into the world of U.S. beef. Through an immersive U.S. beef masterclass and hands-on training, they embarked on an exceptional educational journey.
The adventure continued at the prestigious Steigenberger Hotel, uniting 60 top-tier executive chefs, F&B directors, hotel/restaurant managers, foodservice operators, and traders.
Under the guidance of Head Chef Lubna Alamat and Head Butcher Ziad Muasher, with coordination by USMEF Representative Lina Kanaan, participants immersed themselves in cutting-edge cookery demonstrations and explored diverse scientific and technical topics.
During these enlightening sessions, participants compared tenderloin and striploin, emphasizing the role of ribeye in the grading system. Discussions clarified terminology distinctions, correlated grading with USDA stamps, and addressed packaging differences.
Beyond theory, chefs mastered precise steak portioning and expert reverse-searing techniques. They actively participated in hands-on activities, including trimming and portioning U.S. beef cuts.
Concepts like resting and carry-over cooking were highlighted, along with insights into flank steak’s unique characteristics and the importance of cutting against the grain.
Marinades, dry rubs, and culinary techniques were explored, including smoking briskets and the art of low and slow cooking, showcasing U.S. beef’s versatility, even with lesser-known cuts like braised short ribs.
Upon mastering these culinary applications, participants enjoyed a hands-on carving and tasting session, featuring expertly prepared cuts, from succulent short ribs to perfectly Reverse Seared Ribeye and Striploin Steaks, all served in rich, savory gravy.
This culinary journey received invaluable support from USMEF and TBC, extending to the highly anticipated Hotels’ Buffet Challenge 2023, hosted by the esteemed Egyptian Chefs Association (ECA) at the InterContinental City Stars Hotel.
Renowned chefs from various hotels showcased their talents, with Steigenberger Hotel’s team, led by Chef Hossam Soleiman, claiming the first place.
The grand finale included an unforgettable Award Ceremony, where USMEF and TBC awarded challenge cups, medals, trophies, and custom-made butcher’s knives to winners, recognizing their remarkable achievements.
This partnership with ECA showcased diverse U.S. beef muscle cuts in the Egyptian market, highlighting their quality, taste, and tenderness.
Sponsored by USMEF and TBC, it promises a pivotal role in the success of the Hotels’ Buffet Challenge 2023, marking a significant milestone in Egypt’s culinary landscape.

Address: Al Mustaqbal St – Za’abeel – Za’abeel 2 – Dubai – United Arab Emirates
After two decades of experience across the Middle East, Chef Emanuel Pauliat brings his passion and philosophy to the iconic Phoenicia Beirut. We caught up with him to discover his culinary vision, favorite ingredients, and what excites him most about his new role in Lebanon.
Is this your first time working in the Middle East?
Not exactly. The region has been part of my journey for about 20 years now. I’ve worked in the UAE and spent time in Oman as well. But I’m especially happy to be here in Lebanon—it feels like this was the area I’d been missing, and perhaps I’ve saved the best for last.
What’s one dish that best represents your style—and why?
I wouldn’t say I have a single signature dish, especially after so many years traveling and working in different places. But if I had to choose, I’d say fish. Fish is a beautiful ingredient to work with: delicate, challenging, and versatile. Cooking it perfectly requires precision and respect for the product, which aligns with my approach in the kitchen.
What are three ingredients you always keep in your kitchen?
As a French chef, butter is absolutely essential—you can’t imagine French cuisine without it. Then there’s salt, which enhances and elevates every dish. And finally, bay leaves. They add depth and character to sauces and stews. If I had to pack a bag and move to an island, those would definitely be the three ingredients I’d take with me.
What is your philosophy in life?
I believe in living with passion and dedication. When you do what you love wholeheartedly, life becomes so much more meaningful. As chefs, our mission is to please our guests—to see them happy because of what we’ve created. That feeling is incredibly rewarding and keeps us inspired every day.
What are your current projects and plans at Phoenicia Beirut?
I’ve just arrived, but even within the first three months, we’ve already started to rebuild and revitalize the team. We’re working on bringing back motivation and passion, creating an environment where creativity can thrive. Ultimately, it’s about putting the culinary program back on track and delivering an exceptional experience to our guests.

TOP 5 BAKING TIPS FOR THE PERFECT CAKE
BY CHEF CHAHRAZAD
For many, baking a cake can seem like a daunting task, but achieving perfection is all about following a few key principles. Chahrazad, award winning chef and author, shares her top five baking tips to ensure your next cake is nothing short of delicious and perfectly baked.
1. Bring Ingredients to Room Temperature
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve your cakes is to make sure all your key ingredients—such as butter, eggs, and milk—are at room temperature before you start. Taking them out of the fridge at least 30 minutes in advance helps them blend together smoothly, resulting in a more even, delicate crumb and better rise.
2. Preheat Your Oven Properly
Never underestimate the importance of a fully preheated oven. Turn on your oven around 30 minutes before you begin mixing your batter. This ensures the oven temperature is stable and accurate, which helps cakes bake evenly, develop a golden crust, and rise beautifully.
3. Invest in a Digital Scale
Baking is as much a science as it is an art, and precision is key. Using a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients instead of relying on cups or spoons leads to more consistent results and perfectly balanced flavors every time. Investing in a digital kitchen scale once; and it will last a lifetime of baking.
4. Avoid Opening the Oven Door Early
It can be tempting to peek at your cake as it bakes, but opening the oven door too soon can cause it to sink. For the first 20 minutes, it’s important to keep the oven door closed so the cake structure can set properly. Patience here really pays off.
5. Use a Turntable for Decorating
After your cake has cooled, decorating becomes easier and neater with the help of a turntable. This rotating stand makes it simpler to apply frosting smoothly, add decorative touches, and achieve a professional finish—even if you’re decorating at home.
By following these five practical tips, anyone can elevate their baking skills and consistently create cakes that look beautiful and taste even better. Whether for a special occasion or an everyday treat, mastering these basics will set you on the path to baking success.

DEBUNKING SPORTS NUTRITION MYTHS IN 2025: WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW
In the ever-evolving world of sports nutrition, myths spread faster than pre-workout jitters. Thanks to social media and gym gossip, outdated advice still circulates. But smart fueling strategies rely on evidence—not hearsay. Let’s clear up two of the biggest fitness nutrition myths that continue to derail performance, recovery, and results. If you’re training hard and still not seeing the gains or fat loss you expect, read on. It’s time to separate facts from fiction and fuel your fitness smarter in 2025.
Myth #1: You Need Protein Immediately After Your Workout or It’s Wasted
The Reality: Your Muscles Don’t Expire After 30 Minutes
One of the most persistent myths is the idea that if you don’t take protein within 30 minutes after a workout, the session was wasted. This belief is based on the concept of the “anabolic window,” but new research shows it’s far more flexible.
What matters more:
-
Your total daily protein intake
-
Spacing protein evenly across meals
-
Choosing high-quality protein sources
Yes, consuming protein after a workout helps with recovery—especially liquid sources like whey for fast absorption—but it’s not a now-or-never situation. Your muscles will benefit from protein intake hours later, as long as you consistently meet your daily needs.
Key takeaway: Focus on your daily protein target rather than rushing to gulp a shake post-workout.
Myth #2: Low-Carb, High-Protein Diets Are Best for Fat Loss and Performance
The Reality: Carbohydrates Are Essential for Active Individuals
Low-carb diets like keto remain popular, but for most active people, cutting out carbs can harm performance. Carbohydrates are the body’s primary energy source, especially during high-intensity workouts and endurance activities.
Why you need carbs:
-
Carbs replenish muscle glycogen, which fuels your training
-
Without carbs, your body may break down muscle tissue for energy
-
Fatigue increases, performance decreases, and recovery suffers
Elite athletes don’t carb-load before races by accident—it’s a strategy to maximize endurance, strength, and recovery.
Instead of fearing carbs, do this:
-
Choose complex, nutrient-rich carbohydrates like oats, fruits, legumes, and whole grains
-
Match your carb intake to your training volume and intensity
-
Work with a qualified sports dietitian to personalize your nutrition plan
Key takeaway: The more consistently you train, the more you can benefit from smart carb intake.
Sports Nutrition Should Be Evidence-Based, Not Trend-Driven
There’s no one-size-fits-all plan for nutrition. The most effective sports nutrition strategies are built on scientific evidence, individual needs, and sustainable habits.
So the next time someone tells you to skip carbs or panic about protein timing, ask them if they’ve spoken to a qualified dietitian—or simply stay focused on what works.
