Paris, France · 13 December 2019 · The Results Are In! Check Out the Final Counts for International Chefs Day 2019

Greetings Chefs and Colleagues!

Children around the world had a chance to spend time with Worldchefs members, like yourself, this year on and around October 20th to celebrate International Chefs Day 2019. With the theme “How Healthy Food Works,” provided by our sponsor Nestlé Professional, all were able to print materials from the toolkit including recipes, badges, certificates, games, and even placemats to make your event complete and with ease.

Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher, founder of International Chefs Day in 2004, would be so proud of this year’s efforts as you continued his vision of celebrating our noble profession and passing on our knowledge and culinary skills to the next generation with a sense of pride and commitment to the future.

I am also very proud of the International Chefs Day Committee who volunteered their time this year to get the word out and answer any questions you had about the 2019 campaign. Everyone played a big role in making this a great year.

Thank you to my Team!!!

Adelina Sisti-DeBlasis, Canada

Joanna Ochniak, Poland

Mathew Shropshall, England

Ann Brown, Scotland

Kim-Håvard Larsen, Norway

Venessa Barnes, Australia

David Keir, South Africa

Ines Maria D’Amico, Ecuador

Tony Chang, Taiwan

And now what you have all been waiting for… Just look at our final counts for 2019!

Children Reached: 72,957 Chef Participation: 1,849

Congratulations! This is a great stride and everyone should be proud of what you have accomplished, and that is, sharing with children healthy eating habits and of course, our profession. If you missed sharing with children this October, perhaps you can participate in 2020 by joining more chefs around the world for next year’s International Chefs Day campaign.

I leave you with this final thought, by Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher:

“Progress is incremental so concentrate on what you can do today that you couldn’t do yesterday.”

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy festive season,

Rakhine Cuisine for Smiles Donate in Myanmar

Paris, France · 9 December 2019 · Rakhine Cuisine for Smiles Donate in Myanmar

Rakhine Cuisine for Smiles

Sandoway Hotels Group CSR & Rakhine Chefs SR 9.12.2019

Daw Ohnmar, owner of some of the best and top culinary standard hotels at Rakhine’s Ngapali Beach Front, The Best in Myanmar (Sandoway Resport, Art of Sands, Residence Ngapali Beach) offered WorldChefs Without Borders, Myanmar’s support with free meals to all patients, Drs, OPT, and ward nurses from the charity free of charge, and medical operations by German & Myanmar Interplast specialist Drs (cleft lips, pallets, mobilizing old burn scars & soft tumors).

CSR Daw Ohmar and her Myanmar head Chef Aung Chit Oo provided, with the help of all their Hotel staff, the healthiest three course Rakhine Cuisine menu, composed of chicken curry, veggie-potato, rice, and soup. There was enough for over 100 patients and family members at Thandwe District Hospital and because it was soon to be Christmas and the third Advent, delicious cakes and cookies were given to everyone.

Rakhine – Myanmar Chefs Association members joined the happy donation as Chefs Social Responsibilities for Rakhine people at the Thandwe hospital. Over 50 Rakhine Chefs next to the all Sandoway Hotel groups chefs and staff helped to portion and deliver the food in paper cups – ZERO Plastic due to Sandoway’s & Rakhine Chefs daily policy. Thank you Chef Mya Win and members.

All patients were happy of the very rich Rakhine Cuisine donation, many patients do not usually have a full meal a day and came from as far as North Rakhines: Rathetaung, Ponnakyune, Kyaukphyu, Ann Cities, traveling through war zones, in order to not miss the once in a life time chance of “normal eating.” “I used my hands, fingers and arms for the first time again after 20 years,” trapped with burn scars I got as baby, and the Myanmar medical system still overlooks such people and until the past weeks no one followed up to help to cure me and get back to a normal life.

Here in an outstanding effort, the Union of Myanmar’s Health Minister & Ministry reached out to all the past year’s burn cases in the villages in Rakhine as well Magway State with Magway, reaching over 90 old burn patients for Dr Peter Sieg,– in Rakhine this time over 20 burn cases for the Dr Heinz Schoeneich – both German Interplast & Myanmar specialist Drs teams. A great effort and success which need to be followed up and become a priority standard procedure and task. :” .. a disabled by burns COST Money livelong,- and operated and remobilized patient MAKES Money livelong …. ” – That should be motivation enough to put more energy in “Re Mobilization of all old Burn Scare patients as well Myanmar’s many, so, daily War Victims… “

Thank you to Daw Ohnmar and all her Sandoway, Residence, Art of Sand Hotels highly motivating CSR & Rakhine Cuisine donation and ease the lives of most patients and boost happiness and UNITY between Myanmar & German medical teams at Thandwe Hospital. Thanks to all Rakhine – MCA members for the great efforts again and again as strong Chefs Team with a great sense of CSR!

'Like A Chef' in Ukraine hosts first graduation

Post author By Anand
Post date December 3, 2019

Paris, France · 19 November 2019 · ‘Like A Chef’ in Ukraine hosts first graduation

Recently, Worldchefs, along with partners Electrolux Food Foundation and AIESEC, extended the ‘Like a Chef’ culinary training to four more countries. This program focuses on sustainable cooking and will equip unemployed people, such as orphans and women, with necessary culinary workplace skills. The trainings launched in Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, and Egypt in October. This December, Ukraine witnessed it’s first Like A Chef graduation in Ukraine.

Words from Maryna Dronhovska – Project Coordinator of ‘Like A Chef’, Ukraine- regarding 1st graduation of the project

“Last week we had already graduation event of project. In this first wave of project we involved students 13-21 years, who are from orphanages or adopted children. Children’s Affairs Service of Kyiv region supported this project and satisfied a lot. They are looking forward to start next waves of project in next year to involve students. Also 8 social media influencers and 1 media partner showcased project and supported children during lessons to believe in their own power.

I am happy to tell you that we graduated 14 children during this wave! All of them were super enthusiastic and excited each day of project as for them it was opportunity to gain relevant skills, socialize and to feel that someone really care about their future. It’s sad to say, but some of them even didn’t know how to cut vegetables in the first day of project, but in the end on exam all of them looked very confident on kitchen and cooked on very good level. On graduation event some children cried as this project became essential part of life and they were upset that it went to the end.

Instructors in Cookery school by Eugeniy Chernukha also enjoyed the process and said that it was easier to work with children than with adults as they were ready to learn and try new things.

We are grateful for all partners and support that we got during realization of project and can’t wait that we can continue to realize this project next year with bigger outcome and impact!”

Worldchefs announces historical partnership with Birra Morena

Post author By Anand
Post date November 29, 2019

Paris, France · 29 November 2019 · Worldchefs announces historical partnership with Birra Morena

HISTORICAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BIRRA MORENA AND THE WORLD ASSOCIATION OF CHEFS SOCIETIES

Worldchefs will bring an Italian beer to the table for the first time

The World Association of Chefs Societies has chosen Birra Morena as a travel companion, an exclusive collaboration with the aim of promoting, in the next few years, the association of food with beer worldwide.

Worldchefs is a worldwide network of chef associations, founded in Paris in October 1928, which currently includes around 110 associations, representing many nations, and millions of chefs.

Birra Morena, already an exclusive partner of the Italian National Cooks, is an Italian brewery that has invested time and resources in high quality projects. Over the past 3 years it has won over 50 medals internationally, including 2 World titles at the World Beer Awards in London: its Celtica Sweet Stout won the title of best beer in the world in its category, a title already won in 2017.

An Italian beer, therefore, is the official beer of Worldchefs and of all the activities that will be promoted around the world where the correct combination of food and beer will be the protagonist.

Fabrizio Tarricone of Birra Morena explains: “We are proud that, after a long evaluation, they chose our beers and our company. It is fantastic to think that with this collaboration we will bring our made in Italy to the most prestigious restaurant in over 110 different countries, with millions of chefs who will combine it with a cuisine of different styles and traditions.”

“Worldchefs’ partnership with Birra Morena presents an exciting opportunity to learn about the world of beer and discover how it can be appropriately paired with different cuisines,” said Ragnar Fridriksson, Managing Director of Worldchefs. “We are delighted to bring them on board as a Corporate Partner.”

Further information on the company can also be found on the site www.birramorena.com and www.worldchefs.org

The World Week Of Italian Cuisine 2019 Struck The Right Chord With The Food Connoisseurs Of Delhi

Post author By Anand
Post date November 26, 2019

New Delhi, India · 26 November 2019 · The World Week Of Italian Cuisine 2019 Struck The Right Chord With The Food Connoisseurs Of Delhi

With the purpose of promoting and stretching out the culinary traditions of Italy in our country, The Embassy of Italy organised the World Week of Italian Cuisine in New Delhi. This year, the 4th edition of the World Week of Italian Cuisine was held from November 20th to 24th, 2019.

The original link can be found below.

The theme of the coveted event was “Zero Waste Cooking”, which was thought to be relevant in the current times when we are facing scarcity of natural resources. The high-profile, week-long event saw special guests flowing in from Italy as well. Both the countries of Italy and India came together on a single platform to share experiences, journeys and work on many culinary initiatives.

The event started off with the Italian delegation of ALMA students (the International School of Italian Cookery), led by Chef Andrea Ruisi, meeting their peers from the International Institute of Culinary Arts (IICA) in New Delhi. The teams bonded over some exciting team work activities that included exchanging recipes and experiences on how to manage food waste in the kitchen.

On the second day i.e. November 21st, “Zero-Waste Cooking, The Talk”, was held at the Italian Institute of Culture. Some leading experts from the food industry participated in the conference and shared their views and suggestions on food security and on the ‘zero waste approach’. The list of dignitaries had some big names like Chef Cristina Bowerman (Michelin Star from Glass Hostaria), Chef Anahita Dhondy (founder of SodaBottleOpenerWala), Chef Ritu Dalmia (Diva Restaurants), Chef Andrea Ruisi (Alma), Mr. Arjun Datta (IICA), Mr. Ankit Kawatra (Zomato Feeding India), moderated by Mr. Sid Khullar (Chef at Large and Cal Wellness).

The participants had a detailed discussion on how the zero-waste approach may enhance creativity and foster a better use of ingredients. The conference was followed by a fun and informative zero-waste cooking demonstration by Chef Cristina Bowerman & Chef Ritu Dalmia at Diva restaurant.

On the evening of November 22nd, Friday, the Embassy of Italy hosted a Gala Dinner whose menu was specially curated by Michelin star Chef Cristina Bowerman, together with Chef Ritu Dalmia. The bread for the dinner was provided by the Brown Bread Bakery, a project by the not-for-profit “Learn For Life Empowerment Project” that aides the underprivileged and promotes organic farming and local food production. At the end of the event, Alma and IICA signed a friendship agreement for future cooperation.

Saturday, November 24th saw a thrilling cook off challenge between two teams of students lead by Chef Cristina Bowerman and Chef Anahita Dhondy. Post the competition, the delegation moved to the Bacchon Kaghar Shelter where children enjoyed a warm meal made of the extra food leftover from the Gala Dinner, which was prepared by ALMA and IICA students and distributed by Zomato Feeding India.
