The Green Chef’s Hat 2026 – Belgium semi-final and call for Dutch participants

For the first time, a separate “The Green Chef's Hat” pure plant competition was organized for the Belgian teams on Horeca Expo Ghent. Their assignment was to create and serve an amuse-bouche, a starter, and a warm intermediate dish for four people. Also the forgotton vegetable Yacon had to be used. 

This semi-final was of a very high level and resulted in at least 3 teams qualifying for the final, which will take place in Rotterdam in September 2026. 

A 4th team is on standby until we know the results of the semi-final in the Netherlands, which will be held in January in Amsterdam.
