fter 10 years since the last time Indonesian chefs were chosen to compete in the world’s most prestigious professional chef competition Bocuse d’Or in Lyon, France, in 2011, Indonesian chefs will once again join the biannual competition, alongside their peers from around the world next year.

The scale of the annual gastronomy competition event has been likened to that of the sporting world’s Olympic Games and the soccer World Cup.

Next year, chef Mandif Warokka and Nugraha Lutfi, a commis from the Blanco par Mandif restaurant in Ubud, Bali, will represent Indonesia in the prestigious global competition. Chef Mandif himself is no new face to the international culinary competition scene: he won a gold medal at the Culinaire Dubai salon in the United Arab Emirates in 2005.

Chef Chris Salans, who owns the Mozaic fine-dining restaurant in Ubud, Bali, as well as chef Gilles Marx, the Indonesian president of the Bocuse d’Or as well as the owner of the Amuz Gourmet restaurant in Jakarta will train the Indonesian chefs to prepare for next year’s event. Marx also trained the 2011 Indonesian representatives to prepare them for the year’s competition.

“At the tender age of 21, it’s truly an honor to participate in the most prestigious culinary competition along with chef Mandif, as the Indonesian team’s commis,” Nugraha said.
