South African Cypriot Chef chosen to cook for CHOGM Perth
Queen Elizabeth will be treated with Halloumi cheese and watermelon during the Leaders’ Summit of the Member States of British Commonwealth that is going to take place on 29th of October in Perth.
The halloumi-decision was taken by a Greek-Cypriot chef, Kostas Simatos, that was selected to cook for a dinner organized by Julia Gillard in honor of the Queen Elizabeth and the 50 leaders of the Member States of the British Commonwealth.
The chef stated: “I think that the combination of halloumi cheese and watermelon is delicious. I hope that the Queen and the leaders of the Member States will remain satisfied by the dinner”.
The 42-years-old chef, Kostas Simatos was born in Johannesburg of South Africa to Greek-Cypriot parents. After his studies, he worked in South Africa and afterwards at Hilton in Kuwait.
Since 1994, he has stayed in Perth of West Australia, and even if he had cooked for many celebrities in the past, he thinks that the imminent dinner will be a great challenge for his career”.
