"The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy is a global community that was born to convey S.Pellegrino's commitment to shaping the future of gastronomy by investing in values such as sustainability, responsibility, inclusivity, resilience and beauty, and the Competition is the main access to it," said Stefano Bolognese, Sanpellegrino's International Business Unit Director." The last edition marked a record in participation with over 166 chefs passing the preliminary selections amongst the 15 regions involved. Seeing so many young talents willing to bring their best through hard work and passion, and to see them join our mission makes us proud. This makes us believe even more in this project and we can't wait for the new edition to start."

To participate, chefs can submit their signature dish recipe at sanpellegrinoyoungchefacademy.com/the-competition/application-form until June 19, 2024.
