The goal of this meeting?
To enhance the talent and motivation of the apprentices and students, who are passionate about cooking, and transmitting the benevolance and experience of the great Chefs to the younger generations.
A contest open to all
Sponsored by Chef Philippe Mille and organized by the Mille & Un! association, the Trophée Mille is open to young students and apprentices from France and around the world. Visit the various selections to find out how to register.

A tribute to the products and their producers
Producers and cooks are closely linked in gastronomy. This is why this relationship is put in the spotlight each year with 4 mandated local products for the candidates to work with.
Through the various dishes made during the contest, it’s an actual tribute to the wealth of the Grand Est (France) region’s gastronomic patrimony.
During the Trophée Mille France, the imposed local products are referenced in the “Carré des Producteurs”, a label created by Chef Philippe Mille bringing together the producers working alongside him.
The Trophée selections outside of France also proceed to the choice of their own mandated local products.
Since its start in 2010, the Trophée Mille had:
23
