The jury's task at the same time primarily is that,  the competitors in the finals, and then the Hungarian cook entering the Geneva Bocuse d’Or Europe competition should  represent the full Hungarian cook society worthily. To this it is necessary to be aware of the mistakes though, and it is necessary to do everything to eliminate them, this task though will requre multiple amounts of nowdays work in the forthcoming months” The members of the jury were: Kalla Kálmán, Daniel Labrosse, Cattaneo Graziano (Budapest), Nemeskövi Dénes, Kocsonya Kálmán (Győr), Varga Károly (Budapest) and Kreil Vilmos, Hungarian Bocuse d’Or  academy's president.

FRENCH MASTER CHEFS IN BUDAPEST

On invitation by Hungexpo, Christophe Marguin, chairman of Toques Blanches Lyonnaise, an association of chefs founded in 1936, arrived in Budapest on 5 October 2009 in the company of three outstanding master chefs from Lyon: Mathieu Viannay, Joseph Viola and Frédéric Berthod. Two of the master chefs are members of the organising committee of Bocuse d'Or, the "chefs' Olypmics".

The four French chefs visited cutting-edge restaurants in Budapest, then met the members of the Hungarian Bocuse d'Or Academy for a wine-tasting event, and provided the organisers of the Hungarian qualifying rounds with useful practical advice.

Their next agenda item included a visit to the Market Hall in Vámház Boulevard, where they familiarised themselves with the Hungarian supply of basic foodstuffs. They were fascinated by the Market Hall's atmosphere and enormous supply and last but not least, people's unstuffy style. They closed their market visit by a tasty breakfast of fried dough and sausage in a buffet of the Market Hall. Following the morning programme, the master chefs' technical schedule continued at the HOVENTA exhibition held in the HUNGEXPO Budapest Fair Centre.

They spoke in appreciation of their experiences in Hungary, the excellent achievements of Hungarian gastronomy, and the competence of Hungarian professionals, reflected in practice as well as the high standard of goods offered at the exhibition.

This pooling of technical expertise will certainly continue between the renowned representatives of French and Hungarian gastronomies.
