The International Culinary Exhibition, well-known to the most female and male chefs as IKA or "Culinary Olympics", was carried out for the first time in Frankfurt on the Main in the year 1900 by the former Director of the German Chefs at that time, Carl Matthaus Banzer. Every four years the biggest and most traditional culinary exhibition takes place. It has become the Mecca for cooks and patissiers worldwide. This professional competition will be entered by 45 nations from all over the world, which will compete for the olympic victory in Erfurt 2012.
