How the activity works
🗺️ Organisation & How it works
Each team kicks off with a speed quiz on culinary terms and kitchen basics — a fun and lively way to test everyone's knowledge from the get-go! Alongside the quiz, teams tackle their first simple appetiser recipe, cooked and tasted together to warm up the palate and set the mood.
🌿 Stage 2 — The Recognition Test & The Signature Verrine
Time to engage the senses! A blind recognition test of 10 products from the same food family — chosen according to the season, the theme and your preferences — challenges each team's instincts. Teams then craft a guided, colourful and flavour-packed verrine, tasted with pride at the end of the round.
🏆 Stage 3 — The Grand Top Chef Showdown !
The moment of truth! Each team receives an identical mystery basket and has 45 minutes on the clock to create 2 original recipes — half verrines, half bite-sized morsels — without forgetting to name their creations! Creativity, organisation, speed and teamwork are your greatest weapons in the race for the title of Best Brigade !
