The Bocuse d'Or is one of the premier international cooking competitions presently held anywhere in the world. It is organized under the stewardship of famed French chef Paul Bocuse every two years in Lyon, France - two days of intense competition from which emerges the winner of the Gold Bocuse Trophy.

"What makes the Bocuse d'Or magic is the opportunity to review all the gastronomic cultures of the world in just two days. It opens new horizons, reveals techniques as you watch, and all the tricks, the subtle recipes ad the dedication of those who compose them. As the public watches, everyday products become authentic masterpieces. A spell which will turn three new master chefs into internationally famous names."
                                  - Paul Bocuse - President of the Bocuse d'Or
