WCWB CSR Siem Reap, Cambodia moved to 2021

July 15, 2020


Dear Passionate Chefs, 


World Chefs Without Borders (WCWB) would like to extend its sincere apologies that WCWB CSR Siem Reap, Cambodia previously rescheduled for October 20-24, 2020, must again be postponed due to the global pandemic and current international travel restrictions caused by COVID-19. 

 

The objective of the Chefs Social Responsibility (CSR) is to share our happiness, goodwill and what we have with others, however, the safety of our participating chefs and their families is our first priority. By postponing the tour once again, we may prevent being exposed to or carrying the virus during our travelling.

 After careful review with our WCWB Committee, Worldchefs President Thomas Gugler and the Cambodia Authorities, the new date has been set and confirmed for June 13-17, 2021. 

 

A Message from Worldchefs President Thomas Gugler,

Here we are, a new date, same location for WCWB CSR Siem Reap, Cambodia where we can show the world that “The Power of the White Jacket” can make a change with the unified spirit “together, we are strong”. Hopefully, you can all be part of this mind-blowing humanitarian activity. See you soon in Siem Reap, Cambodia!


Thank you for the patience of those 105 Chefs from 32 countries previously registered as participants and those still wishing to join us. We look forward to seeing you in Siem Reap, Cambodia next year.


Stay Safe during this difficult time, 

 

Willment Leong, Chairman

Let’s Start Talking About International Chefs Day 2020!

June 22, 2020

Dear Worldchefs Colleagues!

Let’s start talking about International Chefs Day 2020!

Uncertainty is all around us, never more so than right now. These trying times can leave us feeling anxious & stressed. What we do know is that we need to keep ourselves and others healthy. Having a strong immune system and eating “stress-busting” foods will help us through these challenging times. 

Here is a time when we can all be in this together! The Worldchefs way to do that is by Preparing Children for a Healthy Life!

Over the past years, Worldchefs has partnered with Nestlé Professional to teach children around the globe about the importance of healthy eating habits by hosting fun-filled and healthy workshops worldwide.

This year’s International Chefs Day 2020 campaign theme is Healthy Food for the Future!

In order to ensure a healthy planet for future generations, it is vital that we start teaching our children about the impact that production and consumption of food actually has on the environment. It is for this reason that Nestlé Professional has recommended our theme for International Chefs Day this year be focused around sustainability and the environment.

How to get involved: It’s so easy! Join Chefs from around the globe on or around October 20th and host a fun and exciting event. It could be an event for your own children, or an event for 300 children, it is important to share the opportunity with every child to help them learn and enjoy eating healthy food!

Just go to www.internationalchefsday.worldchefs.org and download the Chef’s toolkit, recipes and marketing materials provided. There are many delicious & healthy recipes to choose from this year. This will help you to organize and launch your International Chefs Day 2020 Workshop. The Chef’s toolkit included all the details you will need to run an International Chefs Day workshop.

Recipes are also provided, thanks to all those Chefs who have already contributed to the 2020 International Chefs Day campaign!

In 2004, Dr. Bill Gallagher implemented International Chefs Day to celebrate our profession, to share and pass on our knowledge and culinary skills to our children. It’s our legacy to help children get excited about healthy food and our industry. 

If you are planning to host a Healthy Food for the Future workshop, the International Chefs Day Committee members are standing by to help you find a venue, connect with schools and much more. Just ask, we are here for you. Email us at [email protected].

Worldchefs Announces Partnership with Castello Monte Vibiano

Worldchefs Announces Partnership with Castello Monte Vibiano


  • Worldchefs has partnered with Castello Monte Vibiano, celebrated winemakers and producers of the world’s most awarded olive oil.
  • In 2009, Monte Vibiano was the first farm to be certified Zero CO2 emissions (DNV UNI ISO 14064).
  • Monte Vibiano’s Monodose-sized Vibianini EVOO Monodose Unfiltered preserves the integrity of the just-pressed, unfiltered extra virgin olive oil and provides a safe solution for restaurants reopening with new safety measures amid COVID-19. 
  • Visit www.montevibiano.it and enter the promo code UNITE40 for 40% off of all purchases until July 31, 2020. 


Paris, France · 18 June 2020 · Worldchefs, the World Association of Chefs’ Societies, is proud to announce its partnership with Castello Monte Vibiano.


Castello Monte Vibiano was established in 1898 by Antonio Sereni. Today, his great-grandson continues the family heritage of celebrated winemaking, award-winning olive oil production, and a commitment to the preservation of the lands of the estate.


Located in Umbria, affectionately known as the Green Heart of Italy, Monte Vibiano has a history of pioneering sustainability. In 2009, Monte Vibiano was the first farm to be certified Zero CO2 emissions (DNV UNI ISO 14064). Long before, over half a century ago, Il Dottore Andrea Fasola Bologna planted over 10,000 trees to surround the agricultural area on the estate. 


Due to this visionary patience, today these trees have grown to become a majestic “Green Fence” occupying 31% of majestic property and protecting the vineyards and olive orchards from the environmental harm of man.


Monte Vibiano’s extra virgin olive oil is 100% genetically certified Italian and the most awarded olive oil in history. Just recently, they were awarded 4 Gold Awards at the New York International Olive Oil Competition.


Monte Vibiano launched Vibianini EVOO Monodose Unfiltered 22 years ago. Monodose-sized at 10ml to prevent oxidation and deterioration, the result delivers the fine characteristics and freshness of the just-pressed, unfiltered EVOO and matte green color. Each serving is packaged in a recyclable, glass monodose bottle, and is extremely easy to store and serve.


Now amid the global pandemic, their single-serving olive oil provides a safe solution to restaurants and diners around the world. 


Lorenzo Fasola Bologna, owner of Monte Vibiano explains: “We are living in an unimageable world crisis. With restaurants facing restrictions and changes post COVID-19, some governments require restaurants to only serve monodose olive oil to their guests at the table.” He says, “I am proud that MVB can offer support to chefs by presenting what could be a solution for most of them, an exclusive 40% discount off our 10ml monodose of Vibianini EVOO.”


“Through Worldchefs’ partnership with Castello Monte Vibiano, all of our members can benefit from highly rewarded and valuable products,” says Thomas A. Gugler, President of Worldchefs. “We are delighted to join forces and bring them on as Corporate Partners.


Monte Vibiano has extended a special offer to the Worldchefs community. Members can receive with a special offer by visiting www.montevibiano.it and entering the promo code UNITE40 for 40% off of all purchases until July 31, 2020.

Standing for Equality and Inclusion: Message from the Worldchefs President

Standing for Equality and Inclusion: Message from the Worldchefs President 

 

Paris, 15th of June 2020- 


Dear Readers, Followers, Friends, Colleagues and People from all around the world,

 

I believe it is time to discuss what we have all been experiencing lately due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. This should be a sign to all of us on how to respect each other, our neighbors and the entire world population. It should also be a sign on how to  respect animals, creatures and Mother Earth.

 

We have all endured many months of pain, hard feelings, uncertainty, fear and a very unclear future has made us feel worried and scared. 

 

All these are signs, which we should not ignore, however at times our character is hesitating, resistant and stubborn.

 

The COVID-19 global pandemic has cleared up a bit and some have moved on to the next crisis of racial conflict.

 

Can’t we all live peacefully together? It is very shameful for us as human beings, as we are the most advanced and intelligent creatures on the planet. 

 

We are all born innocent. We are all the same and made by God the Almighty with a very short and limited time on earth.

 

What’s happening now? We are again seeing disrespect of other cultures, races, beliefs and genders around the world caused by ignorant people in some cases which are destabilizing the peace on earth due to non-acceptance of others.

 

Can the world not be the shining planet we are all dreaming of? Can we not be polite, humble and caring? Can we not be logical and understanding towards each other and our communities? Can’t we learn how to respect and tolerate others?

 

It’s time for changes and to work together to make the world a better place for all.

 

Say “Stop” to Discrimination! “Go” for Inclusion! and “Support Equality”!

 

Chefs, please go forward and show your friends, colleagues, neighbors and the world that we are ready to help make a change, to accept and support each other, to be wise and set examples for others to follow.

 

Life is too short to waste any second. Shape up and be the difference.

 

WORLDCHEFS is going into this direction with 110 member countries, millions of members globally, accepting all beliefs, races and cultures to be part of it.

 

I am counting on all the people who read this message to be willing to help build a better world! No discrimination, no mobbing, have tolerance, express wisdom, humor and peace in your mind and soul.

 

We need to ensure future generations will still be able to enjoy the beauty of each other and live peacefully on a healthy Mother Earth.

Written by a man who has traveled the world, visited 189 countries and speaks 9 languages.

 

Food for your thoughts,

 

Thomas A. Gugler

President
