Jill Barth on the Forbes website has just published two articles dedicated to the Third Annual Basque Culinary World Prize. We’ve already discussed this prize on several occasions, really ever since the prize got started, and we have to say that this is one of the times when the prize’s goals and philosophy have been explained best.
That’s what the first of the articles is about,explaining what the prize is and what drove it to bring created and guides it now. The second article discusses the winner of this third edition.
We can’t help again repeating that the guiding principle of the Basque Culinary World Prize is an extraordinary idea. It recognizes solidarity projects run by chefs, and the €100,000 prize goes to that same project. Brilliant.
The fact that we’ve been able to create a “Culinary Nobel” that is indelibly tied to the image of the Basques is something we need to deeply thank those who came up with the idea, and were able to get it going with such projection and prestige since the first edition. Similarly, we think the creation of the Culinary Nation brand is also a good move, as long as it’s applied to the whole of the Basque nation.
