Worldchefs prepare 12,000 meals for Ayeyarwady Delta tour

Post author By Anand
Post date May 30, 2018

Renowned chefs will host a charity gala on Saturday, June 9 to raise funds for an initiative to feed thousands of people living in the Ayeyarwady Delta.

Organized by World Chefs Without Borders and Myanmar Chefs Association (MCA), the five-course dinner at Pullman Hotel Yangon will launch a campaign to mark the 10th anniversary of Myanmar worst recorded disaster, Cyclone Nargis.

Seventy chefs from 24 countries traveling to Myanmar at their own expense and donating 1,000 euros each will cook 4,000 meals for passersby outside Shwedagon Pagoda’s south entrance at 6am on June 10.

The following morning the chefs will board a cruise ship to the delta, where they will donate some 8,000 meals and 8,000 aid bags to people affected by the cyclone. MCA has a history of helping people in the region—especially in the aftermath of the cyclone, when it donated fishing boats and helped build a shelter.

In addition, about 150 orphans will be given school bags and equipment, the group’s dentist and doctor will visit a local hospital, and all of the cooking utensils—10 gas burners, 20 pots, stirring spoons—will be donated to local communities.

MCA president Oliver E. Soe Thet also hopes to release thousands of native fish in the rivers in order to boost the local ecosystem. Other top chefs presenting courses in the gala and joining the cruise include Singaporeans Tony Khoo and Louis Tay, Kam Kui Mak from Hong Kong, and Philippine pastry chef Buddy Trinidad.

Tickets to the charity gala cost US$100 before 30 May and $125 after 30 May. Buy 10 tickets and get one free. Contact the Myanmar Chefs Association on 01 501 123 or Ma Kay Khaing at [email protected]

Training the unemployed for a better future, Worldchefs in partnership with Electrolux and Aiesec are engaged for a better world!

Post author By Anand
Post date May 29, 2018

Founded by Worldchefs, powered by The Electrolux Food Foundation and Aiesec, FEED THE PLANET is extending the successful zero-waste culinary training program for unemployed people to a second location in Brazil. Plans are also in place to launch the program in Argentina, Russia and Egypt in the near future.

With a focus on reducing food waste, the Electrolux Food Foundation launched a culinary training program as a pilot in Curitiba, Brazil, in September 2017.

Since then, 34 people – mostly women – have been trained. Out of the first batch of 18 students, eight have already found new jobs.

“The team in Curitiba – together with our partners Worldchefs and AIESEC – took this sketch of an idea, developed and implemented it in a way that exceeded everyone’s expectations. This has inspired us to replicate the program in other locations,” says Malin Ekefalk, Director of Social Responsibility at Electrolux.

Sad day for the Culinary Industry, Worldchefs and ACF is deeply saddened to inform the death of L. Edwin Brown!

Post author By Anand
Post date May 28, 2018

The American Culinary Federation, Worldchefs and the
culinary community have lost of one of our finest leaders and ambassadors.

L.Edwin Brown, HAAC, HHOF, the ACF's first executive director
(1980-1994) passed away on May 25th, 2018, while at home in St Augustine,
Florida!

Brown's impact
on culinarians is profound. He was a driving force in in the effort to
transform chefs from “domestics” to professionals. While an educator
in Pennsylvania, Brown created a three-year, 6,000-hour apprenticeship program
that established a path for students into a culinary career. This program was
adopted by the Army, recognized by the Department of Labor in 1976 and remains
the genesis for modern culinary education.

ACF Board
President Stafford DeCambra, CEC, CCE, CCA, AAC, remembers Brown as a guiding
force for culinarians, himself included. “It wasn't only his passion for
food, for chefs, for cooking and travel that endeared him to all of us. It was
his kindness. He knew everyone's name. He knew the names of their children. And
in turn, everyone knew him. I never went to a competition or event where 'Uncle
Ed' didn't have friends everywhere. Any chef who has ever attended culinary
school owes him a debt.”

Brown was born
in Centre Hall, Pennsylvania, and attended Potter High School, Centre
Hall. He began his career in foodservice at age 17 at The Nittany Lion Inn on
the campus of Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pennsylvania. He
worked in all areas of the inn, receiving room and board and earning enough to
cover tuition. Brown received a bachelor's degree in hotel administration in
1958, and served as the inn's food and beverage manager 1958-1969. He received
a master's degree in education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, in 1977.

Brown's many awards
and honors include ACFEI's Educator of the Year Award, 1977; Howard B. Meek
Award for Hospitality Educator of Year from the Council of Hotel, Restaurant
and Institutional Education, 1979; honorary membership in the Swiss Chefs
Association, 1982; honorary lifetime membership in the German Chefs
Association, 1989; an Antonin Carême award from the Chefs Association of the
Pacific Coast (now, ACF San Francisco Chapter), 1990; and induction into the
Order of the Golden Toque, 1991. In 2000, he was awarded an honorary doctor of
business administration degree from Johnson & Wales University, Norfolk,
Virginia. He received a Distinguished Alumni Award from Indiana University of
Pennsylvania in 2014.

In addition,
Brown traveled with ACF Culinary Team to the Internationale Kochkunst Ausstellung (IKA) in Germany on several
occasions as a support staff member. From 1992 to 1996, he served as
secretary-general of Worldchefs.

Please join us
in honoring and remembering L. Edwin Brown, HAAC, HHOF.

On March 14, 2017,
Thomas Gugler, president of the World Association of Chefs’ Societies,
officially awarded a certificate of honour to recognise Hoi An as the Food
Capital of Viet Nam.

Hoi An in Vietnam is often cited in international
magazines and travel pages as one of 10 best places to eat in the World. It is
also the World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. It is about fabulous fresh
food is the order of the day – every day.

The ancient town of Hoi An, 100km south, down the
coast, is a very beguiling place to spend a few days, with its lazy river lined
with mustard-yellow merchants’ houses, and beaches a few kilometres away. It
owes its wonderfully well-preserved state to the silting-up of the Thu Bon
river in the 19th century, which put an end to its importance as a trading
post, but helped it escape modern development and US bombing. Yes, it’s
touristy, but the old town is surprisingly extensive and can absorb a lot of
visitors without losing its dreamy atmosphere. And while much of Vietnam, to
both north and south, gets a thorough soaking in summer, the central coast is
at its driest and sunniest in May, June and July.

Due to its new
officially award as recognised Food Capital of Viet Nam. Worldchefs has
decided to show you what are the top 6 food & beverage things to try in Hoi
An, Vietnam:

Austrian Chef Association mourn Prasident Hupfl, a loss to the global chef community

Post author By Anand
Post date April 5, 2017

AUSTRIA, APRIL 2017:

The Austrian Chef Association misses the presence of a great man and chef. Prasident Hupfl had one of our biggest presidencies. It is due to him that the Association is so strong today. In his great, successful career he became the Cook of the Kings.

There is no understanding. His death leaves a big gap in our circle. He was a respected master of his discipline, eminent president (1978 – 1992) of our association, and Honor Member of Macs (1982). His work in the sense of the cooks is a big one – also of all of us is acknowledged.

In great consternation and in silent sympathy.

On behalf of the Presidium and Board of the Austrian Chef Association,

The Vienna Chefs,

And the entire association.
