La Cuillère d'Or

PRESENTATION

La Cuillère d’Or are the prestigious competitions where they are passionate amateurs and award-winning professionals in each category, and whose primary objective is to honor women, promote their talents, their creativity, their know-how and their own sensibility.

Because we know, that even though women are less represented than men in this profession, many of great Chefs have been inspired in the recipies of their mothers or grandmothers.

And it is no less true that, since de world is world, the kitchen has been the place mainly inhabited by women, because indeed they have been the ones that fed generations after generations and deserve be recognized.

It is from 2008 that this idea began to germinate in the spirit of Founding President…and it was in 2010 that the first edition of La Cuillère d’Or took place in France, now recognized by professionals in France and on international level.

It’s a real take-off table for women, to encourage them to dare their way of expressing themselves, daring to face challenges and, as we expect, to present themselves in the future to other high level mixed competitions.

Beyond the trophies, the association accompanies these women in their day to day professional journey, through meeting, listening and actions.

La Cuillère d’Or is expanding internationally: first of all, Peru hosted the very first selection of the Golden Spoon abroad in 2018, then in 2019 Spain.

La Cuillère d’Or is neither sexist nor feminist... but only 100% feminine.
