Pakistani women chefs have made a remarkable impact at the Global Culinary Challenge Malaysia (GGCM) 2026, with students from Masterclass Pakistan securing silver and bronze medals. This achievement highlights Pakistan’s growing reputation in the global culinary and hospitality industry.
Competing against top chefs from around the world, the Pakistani delegation showcased exceptional technical skills, creativity, and culinary excellence. Notably, the outstanding performance of women chefs broke stereotypes in a traditionally male-dominated field, emphasizing the increasing participation of Pakistani women in professional culinary education and international competitions.
Hafiz Usama Ahmed, CEO of Masterclass Pakistan, expressed pride in the achievements, stating, “These medals are not just awards they are a symbol of Pakistans talent, resilience, and potential. Watching our young women chefs stand proudly among the worlds best is an emotional and historic moment for all of us.”
Masterclass Pakistan, with a 25-member delegation, is one of the largest Pakistani contingents at GGCM Malaysia, reflecting its commitment to promoting womens empowerment through culinary education. The institute credits the medal-winning performances to the dedication of its students, experienced mentors, and a vision to develop globally competitive chefs.
As the competition progresses, the Masterclass Pakistan delegation remains hopeful of adding more medals while proudly representing the nation at this prestigious culinary event.
