Striking winner When judging the dishes, the jury gave points to the participants for various components, such as taste, smell, colour, ingredients, hygiene, time, preparation, presentation and originality. The definitive World Champion was John Spruit, chef of Het Koetshuis restaurant in Enschede. He prepared a daring mash dish of parsnip and floury organic potatoes with cream and butter as the basis. The dish was decorated with hand-baked scallops – the steak of the sea – according to Spruit. The dish was topped with raisons steeped in Olorosso Sherry and beurre noisette and roasted hazelnuts. All this was presented in a scallop shell. Spruit succeeded in creating this special dish only after a lot of tests and tasting to assemble the flavours. The jury agreed that this dish was the best. After the event, there was a lot of media attention for the gourmet chef. With his loud voice, spontaneous laughter and striking tattoos, Spruit is a fascinating character.

He tells Cultural heritage Next year, the 25th edition of the event promises to be another special one, for the organisation has registered for the National inventory of intangible cultural heritage in the Netherlands.
