Petrossian is celebrating success in “the Olympics of cuisine” after supporting Team UK to fifth place in the Bocuse d’Or 2025.
The prestigious cooking competition took place at the Sirha Lyon summit, a global event for the food service and hospitality industry, held in France in January.
Bocuse d’Or Team UK comprised of President Clare Smyth, chef owner of Core by Clare Smyth and Oncore in Sydney; candidate Tom Phillips of Restaurant Story; coach Ian Musgrave of The Ritz; and commis chef Harry van Lierop of The Ledbury. The restaurants hold nine Michelin stars between them.
To celebrate the 20th edition of the Bocuse d’Or world final, this year’s themes acknowledged the competition’s founder, chef Paul Bocuse, whose cuisine was heavily influenced by his love for local produce, game and creating refined dishes. Candidates were encouraged to celebrate authentic cuisine, where cooking and technique reign supreme, and where the whole product is an integral part of the recipe.
Caviar supplier Petrossian said: “2025 starts on a high, with Team UK placing fifth at Bocuse d’Or 2025, hosted by Sirha Lyon, France.
“Petrossian are proud to be on this incredible journey with two-Michelin-starred chef, Tom Phillips, Harry Van Lierop, Ian Musgrave, Clare Smyth and Team. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year will bring.”
Team France took gold with candidate Paul Marcon winning 30 years after his father Régis Marcon. Team Denmark led by Sebastian Holbert Svendsgaard won silver with Sweden taking bronze.
