Golden Spoon
Gastronomy Awards
"Golden Spoon Gastronomy Awards," which is the first award program initiated and organized by a civil society organization in the field of gastronomy in Turkey and aims to cover the gastronomy field with diversified award categories since 2019, operates entirely based on objective criteria. The method involves the evaluation of pre-jury recommendations by the main jury.
The Awards, initiated with three categories in 2019, gained a true award program status by finding their winners in eight categories in 2020, which coincided with the thirtieth anniversary of the association. The Golden Spoon, given in 10 categories in 2023, is eagerly anticipated as a program that covers the gastronomy field in all its dimensions, from pastry to young chefs, from gastronomy publications to gastronomy sales points, in our country.
