Paris, France · 17 January 2020 · Australia needs your help fundraising for Red Cross Bushfire relief & recovery campaign
Dear Chefs,
Fires have been blazing throughout Australia since September, destroying over 2,000 homes and killing an estimated 1 billion animals. With months left to go in the fire season, we are asking for your help.
Desserts 4 Difference is a global campaign being championed by a growing number of pastry chefs and dessert makers to raise money for bushfire relief and recovery through the Red Cross and open to any business that sells desserts or sweets. On Saturday, February 8th, you can help by creating a signature dessert or redirecting a portion of proceeds from pastry sales for this fundraising effort. Alternately, if you are a business or restaurant, you can simply donate to support the campaign at any point.
The Desserts 4 Difference Instagram is now live so they will tag, share and post dessert photos and include all business or restaurant logos provided on the Red Cross sponsors page.
All participation is welcome. All donations are added directly to the official Australian Red Cross fundraising site. Please find the link here.
The Australian Culinary Federation will be launching a Chefs Social Responsibility disaster aid relief initiative in conjunction with World Chefs Without Borders. Complete details will be announced soon. For information please contact [email protected]
Our combined efforts will make a difference, #desserts4difference
Thank you,
Willment Leong, WCWB Chairman

Greetings Chefs!
Over the course of 2019, the Feed the Planet Committee and its partner organizations, Electrolux and AIESEC, have been hard at work addressing issues of global sustainability. I am very proud of the work that we have collectively achieved. There are so many stories of Worldchefs members who have stepped up and consciously made a decision to get involved and make a difference. These efforts are so encouraging!
So by the numbers, this represents some of the achievements of 2019:
- We taught over 30,249 children about sustainable eating through the Food Heroes Challenge.
- We now have 7 Like A Chef teaching centers open in 6 countries where we teach free 2-month culinary modules to help the world’s disenfranchised find employment in the foodservice sector.
- Over 800 culinary students completed Worldchefs Sustainability Education for Culinary Professionals curriculum.
- As members of Worldchefs, you can share in celebrating these results. It is only through the sum of our individual activities that we can make a difference. And remember, every effort, no matter how small or big, to make our world and our profession more sustainable is a step in the right direction.

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!”
