Sustainability Champions at LPU Laguna

Sustainability education is becoming increasingly important as we face new challenges due to the climate crisis. At Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) in Laguna, students are not only learning about sustainable practices—they’re also putting their knowledge into action through their participation in Worldchefs’ Feed the Planet programs.
from principles to practice

As part of the Sustainability Education for Culinary Professionals initiative, LPU Laguna students undergo training in sustainable cooking techniques and work with local farmers to source seasonal, organic ingredients. The program has had a significant impact on the students, who have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of sustainable practices in the food industry. They have also developed new culinary skills and techniques that allow them to create delicious and nutritious meals using locally sourced ingredients.

Beyond the students, the benefits are far-reaching. A positive impact on the environment and the local community is clear, too. By sourcing ingredients locally, the program reduces the carbon footprint of the industry and supports local farmers, who are often small-scale and face challenges in accessing markets.

The success of Feed the Planet programs at LPU Laguna is a testament to the power of sustainability education. By providing students with the knowledge and skills to create sustainable food practices, they are not only making a positive impact on the environment, but they are also preparing for careers in the food industry that are increasingly focused on sustainability.

a feed the Planet champion

Chef John Carlo Palacol, a faculty member of LPU, is making waves as a sustainability educator, inspiring students to be responsible stewards of the environment through their love of food. Palacol, a graduate of Culinary Arts and Hotel and Restaurant Management, has been teaching at LPU Laguna since 2015. With his extensive background in the food industry, he has been able to incorporate sustainability principles into his culinary classes, making sure that his and other chef instructors’ students understand the impact of their food choices on the environment.

Palacol’s efforts in promoting sustainability have not gone unnoticed. This year he was awarded the Worldchefs’ Feed the Planet Champion Level 3 digital badge for his commitment to sustainable culinary practices.

As a sustainability educator, Palacol hopes to inspire his students to become responsible citizens and leaders in their communities. By instilling in them the values of sustainability, he believes that they can make a positive impact on the environment and create a better future for all.

Finland wins the 26th IKA/Culinary Olympics

Four days of culinary spectacle in Stuttgart: Since the opening of the IKA/Culinary Olympics last Friday, more than 1,200 international chefs have provided moments of pleasure at the Stuttgart trade fair grounds. The Olympic champions have now been crowned: finally, it was Finland that came out on top of the superlative culinary competition.

The link to the original article can be found below.

“Four days, more than 1,200 participants from 55 nations and over 7,000 menus: The IKA/Culinary Olympics is a culinary competition of superlatives and the 26th edition of this event with a long tradition was a great success,” says VKD President Daniel Schade. “The atmosphere was captivating and special from start to finish. We received great feedback from the chefs, fans and guests – we are proud of that.” As the organizer of the IKA, the German Chefs’ Association (VKD) congratulates the winners of the Culinary Olympics. “All of the participants put fantastic performances on the plates and showed what true culinary artistry looks like,” says Daniel Schade. “We would like to thank all the chefs for being here in Stuttgart and are already looking forward to returning in 2028 for the 27th IKA/Culinary Olympics – again in Stuttgart and again alongside Intergastra.”

From Dishwasher to Celebrity Chef w/ Chef Ron Duprat

From Dishwasher to Celebrity Chef w/ Chef Ron Duprat

Have you ever wondered if humble beginnings can lead to extraordinary achievements? The story of Worldchefs ambassador Chef Ron Duprat, who started as a dishwasher and climbed his way to celebrity chef status, is proof that no ladder is too high to climb.

This isn’t just about culinary triumphs; it’s a tale that might change how you view hard work, resilience, and following your dreams. In this exclusive look, Chef Duprat shares the real ingredients of his success – lessons that go beyond the kitchen and speak to anyone aspiring to transform their passions into a career.

Dive into an inspiring journey that proves no starting point is too small, and no dream too big.

The Foundation: A Dishwasher’s Dream

Chef Duprat’s culinary journey began in an unassuming role. “My journey began humbly, as a dishwasher,” he recalls. This first glimpse into the culinary world taught him a valuable lesson: “every role in a kitchen is vital and that hard work and dedication are key ingredients to success.” It was here that he learned the importance of each element in the kitchen’s symphony.

Mentorship played a pivotal role in Chef Duprat’s career. He speaks fondly of chefs who were “not just skilled but also passionate and inventive,” and taught him that cooking is as much about heart as it is about discipline. These mentors shaped his culinary philosophy and approach.

A major milestone in Chef Duprat’s career was mastering traditional Haitian dishes. “This was more than cooking; it was keeping my heritage alive through flavors and stories,” he explains. This achievement was not just about culinary skills but also about embracing and showcasing his identity.

Achieving the status of a head chef was a significant turning point. “It was a validation of my skills and dedication,” he states, marking his ascent from the back of the kitchen to the forefront of the culinary world.

Reflecting on his early days, Chef Duprat contrasts them with his current life. “Now, my days are a blend of creativity, managing my team, and engaging with fans and media,” he says. This evolution from a hands-on learner to a leader and a mentor in the kitchen highlights his remarkable growth.

The Impact of Television and Media

Chef Duprat’s foray into television was both exhilarating and daunting. He notes how TV reshaped his approach to cooking, making him more conscious of storytelling through food. He fondly remembers a TV challenge that pushed him to innovate, proving pivotal in his growth.

Despite his success, Chef Duprat remains grounded. He recalls the most impactful feedback he received: “to stay true to my roots.” This advice reinforced his commitment to bringing his unique perspective to the culinary world, bridging the gap between chefs and the public.

Balancing authenticity with market trends presented a challenge. Chef Duprat’s approach was to remain true to his vision while staying adaptable. “Bringing my Haitian heritage into my brand was about authenticity and honoring my background,” he explains, showcasing his dedication to his heritage and culture.

A common misconception he addresses is that TV chefs have it easy. In reality, Chef Duprat emphasizes, “it’s a world of relentless hard work, constant learning, and adapting to new challenges.” Reflecting on his TV appearances, he wishes he had showcased more of his Haitian heritage, bringing more of its vibrant flavors to a global audience.

Ultimately, Chef Duprat’s television appearances allowed him to mentor young chefs and promote Haitian cuisine. “It’s been a fulfilling experience to inspire and be a part of others’ culinary journeys,” he reflects. His ability to handle the pressure of cooking shows is rooted in his passion for cooking and his love for the culinary arts.

Chef Ron Duprat’s journey from a dishwasher to a celebrity chef is a narrative of passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of dreams. Through his culinary mastery, television appearances, and personal branding, Chef Duprat continues to inspire and influence the culinary world as an ambassador for Worldchefs, remaining a shining example of the power of dedication and hard work.
