BOCUSE D’OR 2023: EDUCATION FOR “HEALTHY EATING” AT THE HEART OF A NEW TEST During the Grand Finale of the Bocuse d’Or, on Sunday 22nd and Monday 23rd January 2023 during Sirha Lyon, 24 teams selected from around the world will compete for 5h30min in two tests. While the platter theme features monkfish and other seafood products, the second contest takes the form of an entire menu, based on squash, to raise awareness among children and, through this theme, educate them about «healthy eating». |

NEW IN 2023: «FEED THE KIDS» CONTEST This year, instead of the plate contest, the Bocuse d’Or puts education in food and taste for young people through cooking at the centre of the candidates’ work. Today, cooks play a central role in food and culinary education. In the “Feed the kids”, contest, each candidate will have to be creative in producing a squash-based menu for children. Several varieties will be provided by competition partner METRO to create a 100% vegetable-based cold starter, a hot dish including an egg and a restaurant dessert style. The candidates will have to redouble their creativity, play with textures and flavours to convince the jury of chefs, supported by children from all around the world. |

“The Bocuse d’Or seeks above all to be in tune with current social issues. After the take-away contest in 2021, we have decided this year to highlight education in «healthy eating» for children. Our first tastes are formed at an early age, culinary education is therefore a key issue in which chefs play a central role.” Régis Marcon - President of the International Organizing Committee (I.O.C.) of the Bocuse d’Or. |
