Sang-Hoon Degeimbre
Belgium
Michelin 2stars " L'Air du Temps"
Born in South Korea, he was an orphan who migrated to Belgium at the age of four when he was adopted by a couple there. He started his career as a sommelier at the age of 17. A self-taught chef, he opened his own restaurant, L’Air du Temps, in 1997 on the outskirts of Brussels.

Restaurant_ 2 star Restaurant “L'Air du Temps”
Sang Hoon Degeimbre’s career is very eclectic : he started out as a butcher and became a sommelier, which served him well to train his taste buds. This passion for studying combinations and flavors inspired him strongly to engage in a career as a Chef. He opened his restaurant “L’Air du Temps” in 1997 in Noville sur Mehaigne, near Namur, Belgium. Sang Hoon Degeimbre is as one of the specialists of modern-day molecular cuisine. He breaks the shapes to rebuild other ones, plays with flavors, materials and temperatures. For that he uses several techniques such as low temperature roasting or liquid nitrogen and ultrasounds. The Michelin guide rewarded him with a first Star in 2001. He obtained his second Star in 2008.
Fernando de Cerro
Spain
Eco-chef, “Casa José”
the thousand flavours of the Madrid orchard
Fernando has concentrated his work in the kitchen demonstrating his weakness for new culinary tendencies that have marked the evolution of the Spanish restoration for which the fortunes of the restaurant provide ample justification. Commencing work with traditional foundations, he has succeeded in renovating the cookery book introducing combinations and completely novel inventions. The foundation is a subtle combination of avant-garde techniques and regional products. The Picotazo orchard has played a fundamental role in the career of this cook whom many place among the so called eco-chefs; professionals who throw themselves into the care of the products with which they work.
Restaurant: Casa Jose
Casa Jose is a pioneering restaurant in Aranjuez. It was the first one that started to offer a different cuisine, as it took on the innovative and modern vectors emerging in Spain in the 1970’s. It was also one of the first ones to receive a prestigious Michelin star, an unusual award at the time for a restaurant that was not located in a capital city. At present, with Fernando del Cerro in charge of the stoves, the restaurant continues along that path taken to improve and excel, where anyone’s taste can be satisfied. The savoury food menu and the taste menu as well as the traditional menu cover a whole gastronomic range whose main argument is that it centres lovingly on the great products from Aranjuez. Its motto might just as well be tradition, innovation and respect for the customer.
Luigi Biasetto
Italy
World Champion in making dessert in LYON
Luigi, born and grown in Bruxelles-the homeland of chocolate, arrived in Italy in 1989 but he found an immature market, not ready for an innovation in quality, still focused on industrial production, so he decided to wait and in the meantime the worked as consulter for candymakers and chocolate procucers. This experience allowed him to get in touch with the most prestigous characters of the candy world and to know which brands or suppliers where the best. That means that, when he decided to open his shop in Padua and in 2008 in Bruxelles too, he was completely aware of the kind of approach that he had to follow to be successful: “High quality is the value that inspires each creation”.
