Origin

The Mastercooks of Belgium – toen nog ‘De Vereniging van Meesterkoks van België’ – is ontstaan in 1980 op initiatief van Pierre Romeyer en opgericht samen met o.a. Pierre Wynants, Jacques Deluc en Roger Souvereyns, de peetvaders van de Belgische keuken.

After Romeyer, the presidency was held by Pierrot Fonteyne, Alain Deluc, Guy Van Cauteren, Robert Van Duüren, Frank Fol, and Cédric Poncelet. Since 2024, Philippe Vanheule has been the president of the association.

Mastercooks

A mastercook is a proud craftsman/woman who

  • is only satisfied with top quality
  • respects their team, producers, and suppliers
  • and wants to spoil his guests.

He/she does everything to pass on his/her knowledge to motivated employees and future generations.

The Young Masters

The Young Masters© is de naam van de jongerenafdeling (max. 38 jaar) van The Mastercooks of Belgium®. Het is geen nieuwe vereniging, maar deze culinaire jongerengroep werkt nieuwe ideeën uit om de Belgische keuken naar de toekomst toe nog sterker en aantrekkelijker te maken, zowel in België als in het buitenland.
