"Master Chef of France” is the most envied title that all chefs aspire to have! But not everyone can become a “Master Chef of France”.
Their motto is “to preserve and spread the French culinary art, encourage
training in cuisine, and assist professional development.”
The Master Chefs of France are given the highest classification in restaurants guides and are often mentioned in specialised magazines.
Most of the leading chefs, the “Meilleurs Ouvriers de France” and the winners of culinary competitions belong to the Association.
The public authorities recognise the important work carried out by the Master Chefs of France “to preserve, advance and perpetuate the tradition of great French cuisine”. This is why they have no hesitation in granting them honorary awards, especially those of the “Ordre National de la Légion d’Honneur”, the “Ordre National du Mérite Agricole” and the “Ordre National du Mérite”.
The Advisory Committee of President Reagan attributed the expression “the Banner with the most stars in the world” to the Master Chefs of France during a trip to the United States.
