Organizers
The conference is organized by “Bocuse d’Or Lithuania.” The roots of this organization trace back to 1987 in Lyon, where legendary chef Paul Bocuse initiated a gastronomy competition designed to discover and recognize the most outstanding young talents. Over time, it grew into a global movement – “Bocuse d’Or” organizations began to emerge in various countries, fostering gastronomic culture and professional excellence. The final competition, held every two years in Lyon, is today considered not only the ultimate test of creativity and technique, but also a gateway into the global gastronomic elite.
The mission of “Bocuse d’Or Lithuania” extends far beyond preparing for the renowned competition. The organization seeks to encourage chefs’ creativity and innovation, to unite the community through shared experience, inspiration, and knowledge. Our most important goal is to nurture an understanding that food can be not only a source of nourishment, but also a sociocultural experience that brings together mastery, tradition, and creativity.
