We are excited to announce the eight finalists in the 2024 Cook for Change! who have made it through the first round of the competition.
Between May and June, 350 chefs took part in our regional heats! This enthusiasm reflects the interest in innovation, creativity, and responsible eating across our business. Over the past three months, our local culinary teams have carefully reviewed the submitted plant-based recipes to select the eight chefs – one per region – who will go through to the finals.
Eight finalists in Paris for an exceptional cook-off!
Congratulations to our eight regional winners!
This year, the Cook for Change final week promises to be extraordinary in the presence of internationally renowned speakers and judges, and key clients at the awards ceremony on November 14.
To perfect their recipes and prepare for the contest, our chefs will visit one of the finest professional kitchens in the world, the Lenôtre Culinary Arts School, which will also host the final challenge. This fantastic experience will include a four-day learning expedition in Paris for our finalists, culminating in the Grand Finale and awards ceremony at La Gaîté Lyrique, a renowned cultural venue in Paris.
Don’t miss the opportunity to discover the winner in real time and take part in the Awards ceremony!
And that's not all: the winning recipes will be made available to Sodexo restaurants all over the world.
