Paris, France · 11 March 2019: Worldchefs Mourns the Loss of Chef Vincent Bossotto
A message from Norbert A. Schmidiger
A year after Chef Paul Bocuse, another great chef has left us. Chef Vincent Bossotto was a respected professional in our Chef de Cuisine family. As both a member of the Board of Directors and a long-time President of the Swiss Chef Society, he was a leader in the Swiss national association of chefs.
Many national and international honors have been presented to him. As the appointed Swiss delegate, he participated in biennial Worldchefs Congresses. As a member of the Swiss Culinary National Team, in 1972 and 1984 he helped achieve success in the IKA Culinary Olympics.
In 1972 he was awarded lifetime Honorary Membership to Worldchefs, the highest award Worldchefs can bestow on an individual member to recognize sustained contributions of extraordinary merit to the organization.
Vincent was a warm and friendly professional colleague. We will keep him always in the best memory and honored in our thoughts.

Past Treasurer of World Chefs
Past Secretary of the Swiss Chefs Society
