 I would like to send my warmest congratulations to the Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival on its 25th anniversary. The stated objective of the festival organizers was and still is to establish Schleswig-Holstein as the gourmet state in Germany. And their strong commitment certainly has born fruit. Not only has the festival become an institution attracting discerning gourmets from all over, it has also raised new awareness of our high-quality Schleswig-Holstein products and given our cuisine a new face. The festival has managed to enable elite chefs from all over Germany and the rest of Europe, especially participants from Scandinavia, to share fresh ideas and their collective expertise with their colleagues in our restaurants between the North and the Baltic Sea. The Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival is of great importance to our state – a gastronomic, tourism, and culinary success story!
I wish the festival continued success in future and all guests delicious moments of exquisite culinary delights in this land of the far north.
Peter Harry Carstensen
Prime Minister of the State of Schleswig-Holstein
