Each competitor received an identical black box, permitting them to compose a menu of their choice to be prepared for four people, consisting of: Appetizer - Main course – Dessert. While examining the black box, competitors had 30 minutes to write out a three-course menu. The menu must be prepared for four persons within 3.5 hours. The total time for the menu and preparation is 4.0 hours.

“It was a great challenge for young Chinese chefs who had never been exposed to this kind of competition. Not only in the cooking skills, but also in the grasp of the overall menu taste and time control.

The young Chinese chefs constantly adjusted themselves, resisted pressure and presented a satisfactory answer for everyone. Congratulations to Chef Jiang Peiliang again. We are confident when in France, our young Chinese chef can show his talent to the world. Our deepest gratitude to the Sponsors and supporter’s judges and the competitors and their mentors. “We have only just begun and there is much work to be done but with many hands together we will reach our goal”.
