But there is a financial problem, how to finance such a competition who will take place in France ?

Giovanna starts requesting financial support and sponsorship to big food Companies in Brazil, the Brazilian government and others but unfortunately nobody could help her due to the economic crisis that has had a big impact on the Brazilian economy.

We ask everyone who wants to contribute and help Giovanna to pursuit her dream: represent her country and follow her passion, cooking !!!

Along five hours and thirty-five minutes of competition where creativity, culinary performance and deep culinary knowledge are the constraints for the judge members, Giovanna Grossi will be presenting two dishes with a Brazilian-French inspiration, sixteen fish base plates garnished with three different garnishes likewise a meat base dish with three different garnishes served on a tray for sixteen people.

The criteria to choose the winner are: taste, seasoning, cooking techniques, dressing and respect of the product, hygiene, work and no-waste methodology.

Brazilian Fish base plate during the Bocuse d’Or Latin America

Giovanna is already involved, she will distribute all the rest of the dishes and products of her training to two humanitarian associations of São Paulo, through this she wants to help disadvantaged people to discover Brazilian-french inspiration cuisine !

How is the money will be used ?

The money collected will be used to invest on materials and equipments, but moreover buy the products necessary to Giovanna’s training. In the most part this ingredients must be imported from France and that represents a high cost, since the training demands several weeks and months of practice to improve her performance.

The topics for the “meat dish” are already out: The Bresse’ Chicken with Crustaceans

Only one training session (only for the ingredients for the meat dish (16 servings)) costs more than 260 euros !

The 3400 euros that we would love to collect be used to:

- Financing 12 days of ingredients for the “meat dish” trainings (during the beginning of November)

- 8% commission KissKissBankBank (they did a fantastic job!)

We hope to exceed this amount in order to also finance the rest of the trainings in November and December and early January and to finance also the trainings to improve the fish dish !

We also would like to be able to organize a cocktail /dinner with pinch of Brazil ! Firstly in Lyon (and why not Paris?) . This dinner will take place after the Bocuse d'Or with Giovanna herself to thank you in person for your participation and support, and especially to unites us around one thing that we love: COOKING!

Here a small calendar to recap:

October / November: collecting donations and Giovanna’s trainings in Sao Paulo

Early December: Gifts distributions and if we manage to exceed the donations: We will finance the month of december and beginning of January as well !

We could also help his team to come in France (NB: the Bocuse d’Or committee supports travel expenses only for the candidate and his commis)

End of January: Bocuse d'Or and distribution of the latest gifts during the Sirha in Lyon

February: if we could finance all the trainings (November / December / early January). We will organize a big cocktail party with a pinch of Brazil in Lyon and why not Paris?
