🍳 Coginio – Cooking
As we continue our countdown to the Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026 in Wales, this week’s Welsh word is “Coginio,” meaning Cooking 🏴
Pronounced “coh-gin-ee-oh,” it’s a warm, lively word that captures the heart of every kitchen. Coginio is where passion meets plate and where culture, creativity, and care come together through food.
This May in Wales, chefs from around the world will gather to celebrate that shared passion at Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026, a place to connect, learn, and grow.
