Subject: 👨🍳 International Chefs Day; honouring the heart and soul of every kitchen👩🍳
Helloooooo thereeee People!
Cooking and fine-tuning recipes takes time. This Sunday, we will be celebrating the International Chefs Day.
When we say chef, we are not only referring to the ones working in a restaurant but also to the person that concocts delicious homemade food. 🍽️
From grandma's secret recipe to mom's comforting soup, we all have that one dish that tastes like home. 🏡 It's the meal we'd happily eat every day – maybe you still crave it! But step into a restaurant, and suddenly we're swooning over a completely different favorite. Funny how that works, isn't it? 😅
Restaurant dishes captivate us with their flavors,artful presentations, and creative twists on familiar ingredients. They open our eyes to new culinary possibilities, showing us there's more than one way to transform simple foods into something extraordinary. ✨
Want to know the similarity between a chef at home and at a restaurant? Both of the mouth-watering dishes we eat are made with skills. Which skills you may ask? Love, passion, creativity, dedication, inspiration and much more. 🤗You see no difference? Because there aren’t. They take their time to prepare succulent dishes to satisfy our cravings and it is our duty on such a special day to show them some love and respect for their dedication. ❤️

Do local elections influence the Mauritian Stockmarket?
In an interview with Business Magazine, Bhavik Desai, Accresco's General Manager, shares his insights into domestic stock market movements during election season.
Contrary to popular belief, there’s little evidence to suggest that elections significantly impact market movements. 📈 The current market trend is largely supported by a strong financial performance with many companies trading at attractive PE ratios coupled with dividend yields of 5% or more.
