The Masters of Food And Wine is a culinary event organized by the Hyatt Corporation, it takes place in Buenos Aires, Washington and Paris since 2008.
I had the honor to represent Ecuador in this food and wine world class event in Buenos Aires. It was a great experience to be part of such well organized encounter. There were chefs from all over the world representing their countries. Our recipes were in good company: we had the best wineries in Argentina sharing their best wines, making this event something hard to forget.
We were treated in such an elegant and professional way by the Hyatt staff that I was very surprised of how the high standards are kept in this beautiful hotel-palace.

Thank you all for such hospitality!
