A Fusion of Cultures in the GTHI Kitchen!

Last week, GTHI brought the world to its kitchen with an extraordinary initiative: Students Training Students! This groundbreaking program is part of our collaboration with the International Tourism and Hospitality Institute (ITH) in Salzburg, Austria, which was solidified during a recent visit to Nepal.

Our Austrian counterparts showcased their culinary expertise, teaching GTHI students to prepare Chicken Schnitzel served with a delicious potato salad—a classic Austrian dish featuring tenderized chicken breast breaded and fried to golden perfection. Meanwhile, our Gambian students proudly introduced the vibrant flavors of Chicken Benachin, a traditional one-pot rice dish rich with local spices and vegetables.

Adding to the excitement, the week featured an online cookery session led by Ngum during his visit to Nepal. This virtual experience united our students across continents, demonstrating that the passion for gastronomy knows no boundaries.

At GTHI, we strive to foster global connections while celebrating our local heritage. Here’s to more innovative collaborations and shared learning experiences that inspire creativity and unity in the culinary world!

In a bid to combat food wastage and empower Gambian youth, the Gambia Tourism and Hospitality Institute (GTHI) kicked off its Agri-Food Processing and Packaging Training today, September 11, 2023.

The enthusiasm and determination of the participants are tangible, underscoring their commitment to contributing positively to their communities. This initiative holds the promise of a brighter and more sustainable future for The Gambia, where youth are empowered to reduce food wastage and enhance food safety practices.
