Gault & Millau 2022 Awards Ceremony: Hugo Roellinger crowned Cook of the Year

12/2/21

The annual Gault&Millau Trophées de la Gastronomie Française awards ceremony took place on Monday November 29 at the Pavillon d'Armenonville in Paris. The winners were announced during a warm evening attended by all the major players in the French culinary world: established chefs, young chefs, young talents, producers, food artisans, partners, and the French and international press. Many thanks to Olivier Nasti, Emmanuel Renaut and Maxime Frédéric for having delighted us with this exceptional dinner, set to music by the formidable Butard Enescot teams.

Gault&Millau supports the "Bouffons de la Cuisine".

During this annual evening, the management and teams of the famous Guide Jaune were keen to honor the "Bouffons de la Cuisine" association. Michel Trama, the founder of the association, and its new president, Breton chef Patrick Jeffroy, explained the association's solidarity-based approach, which every December distributes (and more than ever) a little happiness to the underprivileged. Gault&Millau made a gesture of solidarity by presenting the association with a cheque for 10,000 euros, and invited all guests to join them in financially supporting the Bouffons de la Cuisine.
