Celebrating 15 Years of Culinary Excellence: Future Chefs 2025

 Future Chefs 2025 winner cooking in the kitchen with Chef Daniela Soto-Innes.

It’s incredibly inspiring to see young chefs using their creativity to tell meaningful stories through food. Cooking transcends borders, generations, and cultures. Watching the next generation express themselves through healthy, imaginative dishes gives me so much hope for the future of our industry. Being part of the Sodexo Future Chefs Challenge is truly a joy.
