“Representing Canada at the Bocuse d’Or is a great honour and to compete in the world’s most prestigious competition is an experience I will cherish forever.” Canada’s 2007 representative for
the internationally renowned 2009 Bocuse d’Or
competition in France has brought his award-winning
talents into the classroom. The International Culinary
School at The Art Institute of Vancouver is proud to
welcome Chef David Wong as a full-time chef instructor
in January 2008.
"After competing on the world
stage with Grace I know she is unquestionably the right
person for the role of Bocuse d'Or Commis. Grace's execution
is consistent and her preparations are exacting. Her
dedication and passion is unwavering. We are fortunate
to have Grace on the Team." In addition to each country sending
a chef candidate to compete at the Bocuse d’Or
they are required to send one assistant (who must not
be more than twenty-two years of age). Finding a person
with the essential skills, personality, maturity and
who is prepared to devote the time required is difficult.
Canada has been fortunate to have discovered Vancouver’s
Grace Pineda, a composed young cook who possesses all
the attributes, characteristics and poise needed to
make Canada successful at the 2009 event. |
