Here’s how DI writes about the upcoming qualifying competition where our creative lead, Desirée Jaks, will compete for the title of Chef of the Year 2023. We’re rooting for our very own Desirée Jaks and wish good luck to the remaining candidates.

‘Six previous finalists and two newcomers. It’s indeed a qualified group vying for Chef of the Year 2023, notably considering that one of the newcomers, Desirée Jaks from the restaurant Spesso in Stockholm, won the qualifying competition in June. Second place went to Henric Herbertsson from the Michelin-starred restaurant SK Mat & Människor in Gothenburg.
