EuTimé: the Chef Handprints Award
The mission of EuTimé is to bestow enduring legacy and immortality upon the foundational figures of culinary history.
We achieve this by showcasing the physical impressions of their hands along a breathtaking, high-concept promenade: EuTimé Park.
By "foundational," we do not simply mean internationally renowned, media-celebrated icons.
We place a profound emphasis on rising chefs who distinguish themselves through pioneering visions aligned with the needs of modern society—such as sustainable, green cuisine designed to minimize modern environmental impact.
Stars may fade, but impressions endure
(the images change with each refresh)
To date, no prestigious award directly honors the physical essence and personal legacy of a chef. Our goal is to grant timeless recognition to those who deserve it most.
A chef's hands are the fundamental, irreplaceable instruments of their artistry. For this reason, EuTimé and Convivium photograph and publish them in striking, high-definition close-ups, immortalizing their touch.
Our curated image galleries feature every visited chef currently nominated for the formal casting ceremony, captured in this signature pose.
The Name & Concept
EuTimé is a proprietary name born from the fusion of two ancient Greek words: Eu ("Good") and Timé ("Public Esteem or Honor").
The accent on the final "é" is stylized as an infinity symbol, visually anchoring our promise of timelessness.
The name also plays on clever linguistic echoes: "Time" invokes the concept of a temporal continuum—a testament that endures through the ages. "Eu" subtly nods to our European roots.
The Installations
Each custom plaque features the chef's handprints, name, date, and original autograph. Positioned alongside each impression, a sleek QR code directs visitors to comprehensive biographies and deep-dives on the official EuTimé platform.
Today, these plaques reside in our brilliant, virtual "EuTimé Park," a digital avenue pointing straight toward the Milky Way.
Tomorrow, they will be physically replicated in a landmark brick-and-mortar location—whether a prominent public space or an ultra-luxury resort.
These physical installations will offer high-profile visibility, drawing inspiration from iconic landmarks like the Cannes Croisette and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Annual Gala & Selection
As a vital centerpiece of this project, we envision an Annual Induction Ceremony. During this gala, carefully selected chefs will have their hand molds cast live, to be permanently added to the monument.
Convivium —a premier restaurant and hotel guide boasting twenty-five years of boots-on-the-ground expertise— plays an active role in the annual selection process.
By leveraging a quarter-century of systematic reviews and deep connections within the gastronomic elite, Convivium ensures an unmatched synergy in identifying the industry's most definitive talents.
