Culinary curator at Jewel's Kitchen and cooking afficionado, Shaheda Yesmin, has been named as an Official Executive Member of the World Association of Master Chefs (WAMC). The World Association of Master Chefs was established and is continuously supported by fellow culinary masters and professional chefs from around the world who migrated to Australia in the early 1950's. WAMC has a broad resources network spreading around the world. The association strives to connect and combine the culinary art and food culture of the world. Currently, Sunly Kwong Lo is the Chairman of World Association of Master Chefs, and Gaven Peter Ferguson is the President and Global Secretary-General and part owner of WAMC.

This is not the first time that Yesmin gained international recognition. Earlier in the year, in February, Yesmin's interpretation of Eggplant Caponata was announced as a Silver Award winner in Italia A Tavola, a renowned publication highlighting the best of Italian cuisine, dining places and all things gastronomical. This was part of a vegetarian challenge of the Italian Dining Summit, which has a strategic partnership with the WAMC.

Yesmin is also a participant in WAMC's Chefs Bench 2020 competition. This competition is a first step in developing a new and creative interaction series of events designed to sharpen skills and develop strong relationships together.
