He graduated from the Professional Culinary High School (PCHS) in 2008 in his hometown.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">In his final year, the school hosted chef Jan-Marie Martin. Martin was president of the Francophone Union and owned several restaurants in France. He visited for the official dinner of the Vratsa Francophones.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Todorov impressed Martin during the event. Martin invited the young student to cook alongside him. Afterward, he offered Lyubomir a position at one of his restaurants. Lyubomir had already planned to go to Germany, so he declined.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1715337122\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1715337122\" data-tab-index=\"2\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 2;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-92498ed e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"92498ed\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a6eb62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a6eb62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Career in Germany<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Chef Todorov spent five years in Germany. He completed training at Michelin-starred restaurants and organised events with award-winning chefs.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Among them was Schwarzwaldstube at Hotel Traube Tonbach in Baiersbronn &mdash; a three-Michelin-star restaurant. He also trained at Hirschen S&uuml;lzburg, which holds two Michelin stars. Both focus on classic French gourmet cuisine.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">He worked alongside chefs Alfred Klink, Harald Wolfar, Daniel Zitzelsberger, and Christoph Fischer. At Parkhotel Waldeck, he rose to the position of deputy chef.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">He later joined the two-Michelin-star restaurants of the 5-star Colombi Hotel Freiburg. He was offered the deputy chef role there. He declined and returned to Bulgaria. At Colombi, he cooked French classic and regional Baden gourmet cuisine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1715337123\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1715337123\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\" elementor-element elementor-element-1f5520c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1f5520c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d7f412 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0d7f412\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Head Chef at Yastrebets Hotel<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">After returning to Bulgaria, Todorov worked at a restaurant in Sofia. He also joined Yastrebets Hotel Wellness &amp; SPA in Borovets.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Since late 2016, he has served as Head Chef at the &agrave; la carte restaurant. He uses modern techniques to reinterpret traditional Bulgarian and international cuisine. He works with seasonal, high-quality products sourced from small Bulgarian farms.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">His time in Borovets brought further Michelin connections. He cooked alongside chef Giuseppe D&rsquo;Aquino and chef Pietro D&rsquo;Agostino during their visits to Sofia.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Today, Chef Todorov leads a team of 45. He values strong organisation and teamwork. His formula for success is consistent quality, clear structure, constant progress, and a firm culinary concept.<\/p><hr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Mentoring and Community Engagement<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Chef Todorov regularly visits the Professional Culinary High School in Vratsa. He runs workshops and guides young chefs &mdash; following the example of Jan-Marie Martin, who once inspired him.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Over the past four years, more than ten students have chosen to begin their careers under his mentorship.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">He also serves as a judge at culinary competitions and takes part in public gastronomy initiatives.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">One of his proudest achievements was earning a deputy chef position at a Michelin-starred restaurant &mdash; winning the role over 60 competitors. He believes his greatest successes are still ahead.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hotel management software CHEFLyubomir TodorovProfessional Background and PhilosophyChef Lyubomir Todorov is the Head Chef at the restaurant of Yastrebets Hotel Wellness &amp; SPA in Borovets.
