This year’s Bocuse d’Or was a milestone in the history of the competition: a new fish test, a new scoring system highlighting national diversity, countries competing for the first time (Sri Lanka, Morocco, Hungary)… the honorary jury, made up of Italian chef Enrico Crippa (3*** at Piazza Duomo, Alba), Danish chef Rasmus Koefed (Bocuse de bronze 2005, Bocuse d’argent 2007 and Bocuse d’Or 2011), and the famous Paul Bocuse, founding president of the competition, rewarded the candidate’s boldness and innovation.
