What is Sirha Lyon? Let’s talk about Sirha Food
SIRHA FOOD’s mission is to inspire the food and hospitality industry to be at the forefront of influences, to understand an ever-changing world, and to serve as a source of information for the market and industry professionals.
Sirha Food is further divided into 7 exclusive events aimed at different industry players. These are:
Sirha Lyon belongs to the Sirha Food ecosystem, and is more than a gastronomic fair. Sirha Lyon brings together the most talented professionals from the 5 continents, as well as the leading companies in the food industry. It is here that the “Bocuse d’or” and the “Pastry World Cup contest”, two of the most prestigious culinary competitions in the world, have been held for many years.
Bocuse d’Or
The Bocuse d’Or is considered one of the most internationally recognized cooking competitions. In fact, Bocuse d’Or is known as the “Olympics of gastronomy”, since only the “chefs of tomorrow” are able to pass the first eliminatory rounds.
The Bocuse d’Or is named after the talented French chef Paul Bocuse, and its first edition dates back to 1992. Held every two years in the city of Lyon, it is a competition in which teams from 5 continents participate. The competition consists of the preparation of two dishes based on a previously announced theme. Teams have 5 hours and 35 minutes to present dishes that embody the commitment, passion, technique and creativity that characterize this competition.
In this 2023 edition, the International Organizing Committee has decided to highlight seafood products, with monkfish being the protagonist of this edition.
Coupe du monde de la pâtisserie or « World Pastry Cup »
This competition has been bringing together in the city of Lyon the best pastry teams in the world since 1989, and each edition produces unique pieces of the finest pastries.
Teams composed of 3 chefs – an icing specialist, a sugar expert and a chocolate expert – compete alongside 20 other pastry teams from around the world in their respective expertise fields. These teams are first selected as the best in their own countries, and then face other teams in a regional round (European Pastry Cup, Asian Pastry Cup…). Thus, we have 5 other continental competitions from which only 20 teams pass to the final in Lyon. Every 2 years, and after the elimination rounds, these promising teams meet at the final of the “Pastry Wold Cup” to work tirelessly for 10 hours on the creation of delicious desserts. In addition to the 3 specialists mentioned above, the team is joined by a chairman who participates in the tastings. A buffet of various pastries is prepared: chocolate creations, iced desserts, restaurant desserts and 2 sculptures, one in chocolate and the other in sugar.
This year 2023, the 20 pastry teams will compete under the theme of “climate change”.
