- Bocuse d'Or Weekly News #36 The new rules -
Ever since the Bocuse d'Or's first edition in 1987, there has been evolutions but the general rules have remained unchanged.

This year marks a breakthrough in the Bocuse d'Or competition with an important element of surprise! The day before the competition, the contestants will

discover the ingredients they can use to accompany their fish dish. Just like on a market, each candidate will have to choose its products among a large

selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Another 2013 change: the fish dish must be presented and served to the jury in a plate. This allows to get even closer to the real job of a chef in normal

circumstances. It's also an extra challenge for the competitors... Thibaut Ruggeri, the French contestant, and his commis Julie Lhumeau tested themselves

with this new exercise. And commented : "It forces us to use our imagination, to be spontaneous!".
