Singapore's Top Chefs Launch Video Campaign On Hand Hygiene

Singapore’s Top Chefs Launch Video Campaign On Hand Hygiene

Nine chefs from Singapore’s leading MICHELIN-star restaurants including Sebastien Lepinoy, Kirk Westaway and Hawker Chan demonstrate the right way to wash your hands in a new public service campaign to combat the spread of Covid-19.

*Originally published on Michelin Guide

Using anti-bacterial soap, washing all the way up to your wrists and drying your hands completely with a clean paper towel— these are just some of the tips for proper hand washing that chefs of nine MICHELIN-starred restaurants want you to know.

In a series of 12 videos spanning six languages, these chefs banded together to demonstrate proper hand-washing techniques and handling of food in a new public service campaign to curb the further spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Initiated by culinary and hospitality school At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy, the “StandUp & WashUp” campaign was launched on 22 March and features some of Singapore’s top chefs, including Sebastien Lepinoy of three-MICHELIN-star Les Amis, Emmanuel Stroobant of two-star Saint Pierre, Manjunath Mural of one-star The Song of India, Seita Nakahara of one-star Terra and Chan Hon Meng of MICHELIN-starred hawker stall Hawker Chan.

The videos are available on the school’s various social media platforms and depict each chef putting their own spin on the message of washing hands and in their native languages.

“As a chef, high standards of food and personal hygiene needs to be practiced at all times,” says Lepinoy. “I’m glad to be given this opportunity to share my knowledge with the public and educate them on the proper techniques of washing one’s hands so that we can fight COVID-19 together.”

The school also offers a more detailed Kitchen Safety & Hygiene e-learning course for home makers, domestic helpers, caregivers and general members of the public. Those who complete the four-hour mobile-enabled course will receive a certification awarded by At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy.

A Recipe from "Miss Vareniki"
“Miss Vareniki” has perfected the art of making dumplings.

Executive Chef of the legendary Varenichnaya #1 restaurants in Moscow, Chef Alena Solodovichenko shares her unique recipes for this regional classic.
 
Green Vareniki with Spinach and Feta Cheese

Ingredients for dough:

  • premium wheat flour 570 g + for dusting
  • dill juice 320 g (600–700 g dill)
  • salt 1 tsp
  • sugar 1 tbsp
  • refined sunflower oil 2 tbsp
  • starch 60 g

Ingredients for filling:

    • freshly chopped spinach 900 g (or fresh 600 g)
    • feta cheese 400 g
    • peeled garlic 1 clove
    • refined sunflower oil 80 ml
    • pinch of salt

    Preparation:

    1. Make the dough as in the first recipe, but use dill juice instead of water.
    2. For the filling, defrost frozen spinach, place in a colander, and squeeze dry (fresh spinach should be washed and sorted.)

    4. Roll out the dough, cut into circles, lay out the filling on top, and mold into dumplings.

    Chef Alena Solodovichenko Invites You to Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2020
    Meet Alena Solodovichenko.

    She began working in professional kitchens at 17. Now the Executive Chef of 20 famous Russian homestyle restaurants called Varenichnaya #1, she knows about the fate of women in the kitchen better than anyone.
     
    Alena Solodovichenko dreamed of becoming a cook since childhood. Under the guidance of her grandmother, she took her first culinary steps. At just 17, she began her career in professional kitchens, progressing through every step of career growth: from Pastry Chef to an Executive Chef.

    In 2019, Alena published her first recipe book entitled “Miss Varenichnaya”. It sold out in just two months after the book’s release. Her second book is currently being prepared for publication.
    See you in St. Petersburg.

    “In employees, I value most of all their drive and a desire to learn new things. Everyone, throughout their life, should always develop and discover something new.”

    Worldchefs Culinary Ability Awards Committee Created at IKA/Culinary Olympics 2020

    Worldchefs Culinary Ability Awards Committee Created at IKA/Culinary Olympics 2020

    • Worldchefs has partnered with the Culinary Ability Awards, an international non-profit organization that raises awareness in society for people with disabilities through professional skills development in the culinary industry.
    • Joining in a collective vision to focus on ability in disability showcasing inclusion, a Worldchefs Culinary Ability Awards Committee has been established.
    • The Culinary Ability Awards will also venture to Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2020 in St. Petersburg, Russia to compete alongside the Global Chefs Challenge final. Individuals with a variety of disabilities will compete against each other to showcase their skills and talent on a global scale.
    Paris, 20th of February 2020 – Worldchefs has partnered with the Culinary Ability Awards, an international non-profit organization that raises awareness in society for people with disabilities through professional skills development in the culinary industry, joining in their vision to celebrate difference and create opportunities in the industry in which people with disabilities can thrive.
    While hospitality is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries, it is currently experiencing staff shortages, with employment in the industry being a significant challenge for businesses. Many disabled people are excluded from the labor market as they lack industry relevant qualifications. 
    To help address this and to advocate for integration beyond inclusion for people with disabilities, a Worldchefs Culinary Ability Awards Committee has been established. The Committee will be led by Chef Brendan O’Neill, with Awards founder Chef Chris Sandford serving as a Special Advisor. The aim is to provide career opportunities for individuals with special needs, and to deliver passionate and valuable team members to professional kitchens struggling to retain staff.
    “For us as Worldchefs, it is the biggest honor to establish a Committee under the banner of the Culinary Ability Awards. This gives us the pleasure to include individuals with disabilities and chef talent from all around the world in our noble organization and family. Here at IKA/Culinary Olympics, it was a fantastic opportunity to witness the Culinary Ability Awards in action. The inspiring team showcased their knowledge and dedication for the culinary field. As of today, this Committee, under the leadership of Chris Sandford, will ensure that this part of our community is represented on the global stage. Congratulations to you all, and thank you sincerely for making this possible.” – Thomas A. Gugler, Worldchefs President 
    The Culinary Ability Awards will also venture to Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2020 in St. Petersburg, Russia to compete alongside the Global Chefs Challenge final. Individuals with a variety of disabilities will compete against each other to showcase their skills and talent to a global audience. Competitors will have 40 minutes to prepare, cook and plate two main course plates, judged on creativity, workmanship, composition, and presentation.
    “It is my distinct pleasure to have the acknowledgment of such a globally respected organisation on supporting our vision of integration and inclusion. An extended thanks to Richard Beck and the German Chef Federation VKD in their support to showcase our Culinary Ability Olympic team. We are thrilled to have such a wonderful opportunity to share the skills these talented individuals bring. To the president Thomas and all Worldchefs members, from the bottom of our hearts a very big thank you for establishing this Committee supporting individuals with disabilities in our industry. For all countries who wish to join in we welcome your interest in uniting our industry.” – Chris Sandford, Culinary Ability Awards Founder
    Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2020 will be a primary platform to showcase the Culinary Ability Awards Competition to chef delegates, industry professionals, and celebrated voices in gastronomy from across the five continents. To learn more about Congress 2020, visit at www.worldchefscongress.org.
