International Chefs Day 2015 – Taiwan Young Chef Club

What an honor to be with children and our Taiwan Young Chefs Club Members as we celebrated and supported 2015 International Chefs Day “Healthy Kids/Healthy Future” on October 17, 2015.

In conjunction with the Worldchefs given theme, chef students from the Shofu University and Hungkuang University gathered at the Christian Jabez Church Taichung as to celebrate the event with less fortunate children from poor families.

Awareness on healthy food intakes, their affections in a child's growing stage and health benefits where discussed and evaluated by learning with our five senses as our students mentored families and their siblings.

Food samplings of simple intakes such as “French (whole wheat) Toast with Banana” “Italian Pana Cota with Raspberries” and a “Fruit Muesli” where demonstrated and supported towards 30 children whom have shown great awareness in the step-by step introduction.

Health benefits as to reduce daily intakes of fat, salt and sugar, which are quite common for a daily intake, can be found in basic fresh products of great amount.

Eating cycle habits where explored as to divide main meals to smaller amounts with five intakes.

Food intakes with regular exercise activities were also recommended as to reduce obese, diabetes and common overweight. Food selection in regards to its nature, vitamins and freshness where compared to pre-packed and ready-to-eat food available on our local market. Our young chefs learned that the Church will make use of funding’s from collected recycled waste which will support the operation of the church. We had much fun as illustrated in the pictures as we could be part for few hours of our live and be kids too. Overall we were fortunate to support our local community and our future generations.

International Chefs Day 2015 – Kerala, India

Our community in Paravur consists of mostly fishermen and daily wage earners. The only school in this community is the,

Number of Students : 192

Number of Staff : 20

Standards : LKG, UKG, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th

Total Girls : 102

As part of creating awareness about hygiene and health, just last week, we had taken a class on 15th, on the occasion of Global Handwashing Day.

In continuation of that, we felt that the occasion of the International Chefs Day would give us an opportunity on lines with the same theme – “Health”. 

Therefore we were given the opportunity by Smt. Indira Devi to conduct ia class today at 1100hrs.

Chef Narayanan Nair,  first began by telling the children the meaning of term “Chef” and the importance of the Day. Chef also educated the children about healthy food and organinc ingrediants.

Thereafter Chef took a demo class for making Rava Kesari. The Ghee used for the demo was Organic (by Aroma Fresh, cow ghee), sugar was not used. Instead, jaggery was used.

The reason to make this dish was that

  1. Easily available main ingredient
  2. Relatively low price
  3. Ease of preparation

We had also taken pre-prepared Rava Kesari (200 pcs), which was made earlier today for distributing amongst the children in banana leafs. The Demo Rava Kesari was also shared amongst the teachers.

The programme concluded by 1130 hrs.

The smiles on the childrens faces said it all!

World Food Day and International Chefs Day Welcomes KitchenConnection.org

Just days after World Food Day and International Chefs Day KitchenConnection.org launched the beta version of its culinary site in New York City with its Foodies virtually in Paris. The platform, which connects foodies around the world with Cheffies – both lay and professional – aims to link people through food, while alleviating global hunger.

At the event, ‘Cheffie’ Claude Godard, Vice President of Maîtres Cuisiniers de France (USA) and distinguished member of the Academie Culinaire de France, taught foodies Aurore Leon and Pierre Denmat in France how to make three distinct hors d’oeuvres. This is certainly in line with the World Association of Chefs theme for International Chefs Day, “passing it on” – when culinary professionals are commemorated for passing on their time, knowledge and expertise.

KitchenConnection.org seems to bridge the two culinary events together: World Food Day is a day to shed light on the food insecurity issues around the world. A portion of the funds that the Cheffie receives for his time Connecting and ‘passing on’ his knowledge on the platform can be designated to the organization’s partner charity, Action Against Hunger, which is present in over 40 countries around the world.

Alex Cottin, Associate Director of Partnerships at Action Against Hunger said, “We’re making sustainable strides – really creating a strong impact; in fact, last year alone, thanks to partners like Kitchen Connection, we’ve helped over 9 million children and adults.” The ingredients for the Cucumber Avocado Rolls, Salmon Rillete and Beet Tartare that were consumed by all of the attendees were sponsored by Whole Foods Market® Bowery.

Danielle Sandars, Cultural Programs Marketing Team Leader at Whole Foods Market aims to connect Whole Foods Market to like-minded organizations. She emphasized, “Food dollars go a lot farther than our monetary dollars do. Food does connect people.” Of his first Kitchen Connection experience, Cheffie Claude Godard said, “It made me feel great, peaceful. I love traveling, and with Kitchen Connection, I can travel further and more without having to leave for days.” The foodies? “It was 2:30am, but we ate. ” On the night of the 21st, New York City was connected to Paris, a master Chef was connected to students, and everyone in attendance was connected through the food that was consumed unanimously, truly in line with the overall mission of KitchenConnection.org:

‘You’re Eating – I’m Eating – and Because We’re Eating Together, Someone Else is Eating Too’

*KitchenConnection.org is currently inviting beta testers off of its landing page. It is scheduled to launch publicly in early 2015.

It is also a day, on which to assist the younger chefs, but most importantly, the day when we recognize the very important role that chefs play in our societies, for we have a great responsibility not only to feed, but also to give nourishment.

Once you hang up your Chefs jacket think about your actions, have they made a difference in the end of the day, and ultimately share your story with us”
