Bumrungrad International (http://www.bumrungrad.com), in cooperation with the Royal Project Foundation, is pleased to announce the launch of "Gourmets of the Garden", Great Chefs design delicious menus using healthy vegetables from The Royal Project.

Over the past eight years, Bumrungrad International (http://www.bumrungrad.com) has showcased some of Thailand's best restaurants through its Great Chefs program. For 2008, we'll ask the chefs to design menus featuring healthy vegetables from The Royal Project Foundation in northern Thailand, source of the famous "The Royal Project" brand. These vegetables are nutritious and hygienic. They get special care to retain their fresh flavor from farm to kitchen.

The Great Chefs program is highlighted prominently throughout the hospital. It has also attracted local and international media attention. "This year we are privileged to have 12 premium hotels offering delicious and healthy dishes using healthy vegetables from The Royal Project to our patients and their guests. It is part of our commitment to serve our patients while promoting their health," said Mr. Mack Banner, Bumrungrad International's CEO.

Under the Great Chefs program, each restaurant works with hospital's kitchen to design or adapt a healthy menu, which is then featured for a month. The special menus are available at no extra charge to patients, giving them the opportunity to sample dishes from some of Thailand's best restaurants.

The Royal Project Foundation

The Royal Hill-Tribes Development Programme, at present called The Royal Project, was inaugurated in the year B.E. 2512 (A.D. 1969), following His Majesty the King's expressed desire to initiate the benefits of sedentary agricultural practice to the Hill-Tribes community with introduction of substituted cash crops that, in some cases, may fetch higher market prices than opium. During the early stages of the project, His Majesty encouraged the grafting of temperate climate peach scions to the stocks of local species of peach trees. The grafted trees bore fruits that were improved in texture and taste and were hardy enough to withstand long transportation journey to the markets. Other temperate climate fruit scions were also experimented with at different elevations at the Royal Project's Highland Agricultural Research Stations in various villages in Chiang Mai Province, Phui Village, Mae Chaem District, Khum Village, Fang District, Khun Wang Village, San Pa Tong District, Sam Mun Village, Chiang Dao District, and Mae Tho Village, Hot District.
