The best Michelin star chefs in the world

A chef is a trained professional cook and tradesman who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation, often focusing on a particular cuisine. The word “chef” is derived from the term chef de cuisine.

Chefs can receive formal training from an institution, as well as by apprenticing with an experienced chef. In our highlights, you’ll meet chefs like Yannick Alléno who were mentored by skilled chefs. In the article are the best Michelin star chefs in the world.
