Jury announced for S.Pellegrino Cooking Cup 2011

The jury has been announced for the The S.Pellegrino Cooking Cup 2011 that takes place on June 25 in Venice.

A pool of 11 young chefs representing 11 countries will be judged on their dishes prepared on board the Timoteo, owned by the fashion designer Vittorio Missoni.

The main criteria set by the jury to select the best dish will be taste, difficulty of preparation, correct match with wine and water, and dish presentation.

The young chefs will start their day early, shopping at the Rialto Market for the best ingredients and then getting on board with their home country’s crew to prepare their best recipe while sailing.

At the end of the day, the dishes will be displayed and the jury will evaluate them and crown a winner.

Austria - Karl Obauer, Obauer (**Michelin)
France - Inaki Aizpitarte, Chateaubriand (#9 S.Pellegrino 50 Best)
Hong Kong - Chris Keung, Bo Innovation (Winner of the 2010 Young Chef of the Year)
