The Grand Final of the Bocuse d'Or is approaching. On 22 and 23 January 2023, Lyon will once again host the world's biggest cooking competition, and the platter theme has just been unveiled. The 24 competing teams will have five and a half hours to create, among other things, a seafood platter for 15 people composed of the following elements:
Main Ingredient: Two monkfish (deheaded). The IOC will also provide scallops to make a stuffing.
Garnish: Two vegetable garnishes placed on the tray and one 'ragout'-type garnish presented in a separate vegetable dish, showcasing a legume from the participating country.
