Young Cheffes Insights
The Chefs Chapter includes some of the finest Cuisiniers and Cuisinières from around the globe, with Thomas Bühner as our Ambassador Culinaire. In a very special joint initiative between HoteliersGuild and Institut Paul Bocuse, we have created YoungCheffesInsights that puts a focus on our female colleagues to promote the professional visibility of our young female talent to a network of established hospitality and foodservice executives.
HoteliersGuild and Institut Paul Bocuse (IPB) share a commitment to promote top female students in the hospitality industry. Our joint YoungCheffesInsights (YCI) initiative, was created to provide a space dedicated for aspiring female future culinary leaders where they can contribute to our industry with their reflections, ideas, trends and hot topics as viewed by their generation.
A compilation of these inputs will be co- featured in the HoteliersGuild ForumOfDialogue magazines and LookBooks and on IPB’s website, with the aim to promote the professional visibility of our young female talent to a network of established hospitality and foodservice executives.
It is supported by some of the finest Cuisinieres and Chefs of the world, e.g. Elena Arzak, Jessica Préalpato, Eckhard Witzigmann and Antonio Bachour, to name just a few.
“ We are very excited about this new partnership with HoteliersGuild. It offers our students the opportunity to share their insights and future vision for the industry, the exact topics they are immersing themselves in during their Master’s in Culinary Leadership and Innovation -program.”

This is a great opportunity to shine a light on the gender imbalance prevalent in the culinary industry and empower young, female voices to become future leaders in their industry. This initiative helps us in educating our students to work towards closing the gender gap.”
