Jeanne Regnault, still a high school student, was crowned French Vegetable Cuisine Champion.

Franck Tesson | 11/4/24

The first French Vegetable Cuisine Championship was held on November 3, 2024, under the presidency of Michel Roth.

The brainchild of Frédéric Jaunault, MOF Fruitier-Primeur in 2011 and himself a former chef at Ledoyen and Plaza Athénée, the first edition of the Championnat de France de la Cuisine du Végétal was held on Sunday November 3, 2024 at the EquipHotel trade show in Paris.

The aim of the competition was to promote plant-based and seasonal products, shine a spotlight on producers and supply chains, encourage chefs to push back the boundaries of plant-based cuisine and emphasize eco-responsible cooking, notably by reducing food waste.

A prestigious panel of MOF chefs

The six finalists, selected from over a hundred entries, each had two hours to prepare a dish, hot or cold, and a dessert (on the theme of bananas) using only plant-based products, banishing all use of butter, for example. Chaired by Michel Roth, MOF and Bocuse d'Or, and assisted by Jean-Thomas Schneider, MOF and double world champion ice-cream maker and pastry chef, the jury had to judge the originality of the dishes as well as the taste and texture of the ingredients. tastes and flavors, the appropriateness of seasonings (salt and pepper were banned), the hygiene and cleanliness of seasonings, and the choice of containers.

The first French champion is still at school

In front of a packed audience, it was the youngest of the participants, Jeanne Regnault, still a student at the Lycée Belliard in Paris, who distinguished herself by her technique and creativity to win, with a comfortable lead over her competitors, this first title of Championne de France de la Cuisine du Végétal. She is without doubt a future great chef .
