On April 17, 2024, Rotary Club Sofia International, alongside Dr. Nikolay Tzaribachev of Regenics Medical Ltd, and Chef Alexandrov, former Chef of Hilton Hotel Sofia, joined forces to pioneer a new approach to scientifically informed cooking for Rotarians and Friends.

The journey began with a fortuitous meeting between our esteemed Rotary Club Sofia International member, Dr. Tzaribachev, and Mrs. Biliana Georgieva, CEO of LiderBG, one of Bulgaria’s premier business platforms. What was intended as a brief 30-minute discussion extended into a captivating 3-hour exchange. Dr. Tzaribachev’s revelation about the potential health risks associated with salads sparked intrigue and curiosity, laying the groundwork for what would become an inspiring collaboration.

Chef Alexandrov, Chef Kustev from Ritz London, Biliana Georgieva, and Dr. Tzaribachev convened for an intensive afternoon session. Together, they delved into the scientific intricacies of healthy eating, meticulously crafted an innovative menu, and put their culinary expertise to the test to ensure an unforgettable dining experience.

More than 40 Rotarians and Friends, including representatives from Zonta Club Sofia – Mrs. Katja Stoitchkova and Mrs. Vaska Penkova – were treated to an enlightening journey into the realm of nutritional medicine led by Dr. Tzaribachev. Chef Alexandrov skillfully blended traditional Bulgarian cuisine with haute cuisine techniques, infusing each dish with a scientific twist.

Our President, Mr. Grant Dale, and Secretary, Ms. Ani Hristova, were honored to welcome our esteemed guests. They took the opportunity to announce the upcoming Rotary Club Sofia International Gala Event, scheduled for May 15th. This event, in collaboration with Rotary Club Sofia-Vitosha and Rotary Club Gorna Banya, aims to support two noble causes: MED-BUL and Children with Oncohematological Diseases. Held at the National Historical Museum, it promises to be an evening of compassion, camaraderie, and meaningful impact.
