Jean Delaveyne Trophy

The Jean Delaveyne Trophy is organised every two years at the EquipHotel show in Paris

Its level of excellence is now well-known. It is considered by many professionals as one of the greatest French culinary trophies, but also as a springboard for the " Meilleurs Ouvriers de France “ competition.  This prestigious gourmet competition pays tribute to the famous Jean Delaveyne, a Michelin-star chef and pastry chef nicknamed "the Sorcerer of Bougival" because of his creative character and his desire to keep on reinventing himself.

Over the years, the Jean Delaveyne Trophy has maintained its level of excellence thanks to his creativity and professionalism.

Created in 2000, the Association of TOQUES FRANCAISES aims to promote French gastronomy in France and around the world, to defend quality products and terroirs, to allow an accompaniment and improvement of young chefs and the evolution of its members.

The association achieves its objectives in particular thanks to the many events for the general public and professionals that it organises: culinary demonstrations, gastronomic events, support and presence at charitable actions and quality events.

The Association of TOQUES FRANCAISES encourages the most talented young chefs with the Jean Delaveyne Trophy, but it also rewards the most experienced chefs with the titles of Toque de l'Année and Toque d'Honneur awarded each year.

Chaired since 2015 by Marie SAUCE-BOURREAU, the association does not want to be elitist, it is open to everyone, professionals of the food trade or gastronomes.

The only condition required is a passion for French gastronomy, a love of work well done and a desire to pass on the knowledge to the greatest number.
