SMEG, a globally leading kitchen appliance brand from Italy, held the “Smeg Galileo Launch 2024” event to unveil their latest product line. The launch introduced the newest innovation in ovens called "GALILEO."
The unveiling featured fine dining artistry presented by Chef Gerard Villaret Horcajo from Elements, Inspired by Ciel Bleu, a prestigious one Michelin star restaurant. Chef Horcajo crafted a 6-course meal using the Omnichef oven to showcase its exceptional innovation and technology. The event was attended by SMEG Thailand partners in development, interior design, and architecture, such as Sansiri, AP, KVIK, RCD Design, Noble, and DWP Design, who enjoyed a special dining experience at the SMEG Thonglor showroom.

Khun Thanatporn Suensilpong, Brand Managing Director of Pen K Intertrading Co., Ltd., highlighted the objective of this event, centred around introducing the Smeg Galileo series oven to both customers and the general public. The goal is to showcase the oven's advanced features and its ability to provide a unique cooking experience. Through meticulously curated special menus prepared using the Galileo Omnichef oven, which seamlessly blends traditional, steam, and microwave cooking techniques with advanced technology, users can now prepare a diverse range of dishes simultaneously with one single product. The launch reflects SMEG's strong dedication to culinary technology and the art of cooking.
The event began with a group of representatives from SMEG Thailand partners, including Khun Prasert Trakranvachirahut (Executive Vice President from Sansiri), Khun Boonchai Jankrajanglerd (Chief Supply Chain Officer from AP), Khun Kiti Roemcharoendee (Managing Director from RCD Design), Khun Meedatch Inthong (Design Director from DWP Design), and Khun Thanaphan Thanusiri (Senior Director from Noble), exploring the showroom and experiencing the innovation of the Galileo Omnichef oven. Following the showroom visit, the guests were treated to an exquisite lunch experience curated by Chef Gerard Villaret Horcajo from Elements, Inspired by Ciel Bleu. Each dish was meticulously prepared to not only delight the palate but also captivate the eyes.

The culinary journey began with Dry Aged Haranaka Chutoro, a dish featuring tuna belly paired with Bafun Uni and a special nori-infused sauce that elevated the flavours of the sea as an appetiser, showcasing Chef Gerard's culinary expertise. This was followed by the Jean Larnaudie Foie Gras. The highlight of the event was the Galileo Multicooking Technology Signature Dish, starring the Amadai fish, cooked to perfection at 180 degrees in the Omnichef oven, demonstrating heat control precision using the traditional cooking function.
The journey continued with butter-poached lobster, cooked slowly to retain its succulence, paired with crispy lotus root baked to a unique crunch using the oven's microwave function, along with carrots steamed and baked together, showcasing the oven's versatility in blending cooking techniques seamlessly.
Next, the Chiang Mai Zucchini Flower dish, filled with cheese and fragrant truffle, presented a flavourful and aromatic interplay, with the choice between Saddle of Lamb, Dry Aged Mikandai, or Nagasaki Wagyu A5 Striploin as the main course. To conclude the gastronomic journey, the Okayama Shimizu White Peach dessert featured the sweet and tangy essence of white peaches harmonised with custard lemon from Cha-am and lemon verbena, served on an almond tart.
SMEG values intricacy, dedication, quality, and innovation, traits that Chef Gerard showcased through his meticulous attention to detail and enthusiasm for crafting exceptional cuisine. This dedication shared a collective commitment to providing a remarkable culinary experience through the art of meal preparation.
