Hungarian success at the international junior chef competition

The Olivier Roellinger contest mobilizes ever more young European chefs regarding seafood preservation. The 2018 edition opens today to all European countries, under the patronage of Nicolas Hulot Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Solidarity Transition in France.

The Olivier Roellinger contest aims to bring together young chefs and students trained in the catering sector and encourage them to promote sustainable species. Through this competition, the candidates are brought to valorise sustainable species. The objective of this competition is primarily to allow professionals to consider environmental and social issues and to make them aware of the role they can play in preserving resources.

For Olivier Roellinger, Chef of Bricourt Houses in Cancale and Vice-president of Relais & Châteaux, the message carried by the competition is a priority : « Gastronomy, the art of feeding the other, must now take into account the health of everyone, which cannot be done without taking into account the health of the planet. The most virtuous cooks are already interested in all the stakes of food and the community. The resources of the sea are one of the essential pillars. This unique competition is contributing to a growing mobilization ; after six years of existence we begin to see the changes of behavior that it arouses !
