A cocktail reception dubbed "-196?c" was held last month featuring live cooking demonstrations of liquid nitrogen cooking at The Grill Restaurant & Lounge. A selective crowd from various industries within the Cairo society was present to bid farewell to General Manager Jürgen Baumhoff after a two year period and welcome Michael Koth as the new General Manager of Semiramis InterContinental Cairo. The restaurant was completely transformed into an "ice" inspired venue featuring an igloo, a laser show and fog vapor. A team of talented chefs led by Chef Eric Heurtel and Chef Karim Mahbouli were eager to demonstrate their skills in the liquid nitrogen cooking technique.
