# Concept and format This year's creative brief asks participating chefs to interpret the Five Elements — Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth — through their own cuisine and techniques. Chefs will prepare dishes live at close quarters so guests can observe preparation and interact with culinary teams. The festival emphasis is on sensory presentation and cross-cultural culinary exchange presented in an al fresco environment.
