Synopsis:

The Bocuse d'Or', the top award for professional chefs, is presented every two years in Lyon. This final is an extraordinary culinary experience. Having been selected during a highly regulated but nonetheless dubious nomination process, the finalists are given the task of preparing two meals in twelve portions in five and a half hours.


The cooking takes place in front of an audience and the chefs are asked to use certain basic ingredients and must prepare everything from scratch.


The participants compete under extremely tough conditions. The dishes should reflect both contemporary trends in cooking and contain some element that is characteristic for the finalist's native country.


We follow Jesus Almagro, the Spanish candidate, who has to find the recipe and the ideal presentation, which will captivate the jury to the point of crowning him with the Best Cook of the World Award.
