Wins 5 gold medals at Culinary Olympics Dimuthu Kumarasinghe, Group Skills Development Chef of Aitken Spence Hotels has won five gold medals at the culinary exhibition and competition - the 21st Culinary Olympics 2004. His Five medals to date at this event, which is currently in progress in Germany, have been in four different categories. Dimuthu won, beating master chefs from countries like France, Germany and Switzerland, with a strong cultural culinary tradition, on their familiar turf, a truly remarkable achievement. Dimuthu is the first individual ever to win such international awards for Sri Lanka. While many Sri Lankans have contested - and have been successful - in the past at the Culinary Olympics and other equivalent events, none of them have been representing Sri Lanka at the time. Most often, many Sri Lankans have contested while employed by hotel chains abroad, and have consequently represented their country of employment. Dimuthu's awards at the Olympics have been in the categories of Patisserie dessert platter, Cold food show piece, Patisserie show piece and the open event. His outstanding career began in 1991 when he won his first Gold Medal at the Salon Culinaire organised by the Chefs Guild of Sri Lanka. |
