Beirut Cooking 
Festival

Beirut, 8 November 2013: GROHE launched its innovative Easy Touch technology in Lebanon during a live cooking workshop hosted by Executive Chef Youssef Akiki at the Beirut Cooking Festival.

The workshop was attended by culinary, decoration and lifestyle editors who were enchanted by the simple, sensual and stirring Minta Touch – a hybrid faucet that intelligently unites two operating functions. The interactive workshop was followed by a cooking competition judged by famous food blogger Anthony Rahayel, Lina Varytimidou from GROHE and Chef Youssef Akiki who picked Naomi Sergeant from Time Out Beirut Magazine as the lucky winner of a unique Minta Touch.

“The GROHE Minta Touch has amazing features, you’ll fall in love instantly”, said Lina Varytimidou, Senior PR and Communications Manager GROHE East Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa. “It fights dirt, germs and bacteria. The Minta Touch is operated by the slightest touch, simply and cleverly with the back of your hand, wrist or forearm - just because your hands are dirty, doesn‘t mean your fittings should be too.”

Following the media workshop and as part of GROHE sponsorship to all the cooking workshops at the Beirut Cooking Festival, a drawing was held after the last session giving a chance to Dr. Maya Aghasi one of the visitors to win the new revolutionary Minta Touch.
