Bricarelli, author of several cook books also teaching good food management to hotels and restaurants, won with his recipe for cous cous named "poor but beautiful" - it was prepared using using blue fish, Sauri, sea pike, sardines, anchovies and tomatoes in sweet Pachino, green candied oranges, wild fennel and coriander.

The winner was selected by a jury of eight, chaired by Edward Raspelli, conductor of "Mela Verde e Attenti al lupo" (Green Apple Mind the wolf), including Donatella Bianchi, a famous television face. The food expert and journalist Laura Ravaioli was also in among the jurors.
