International Chefs Day 2015 – Egypt

The Egyptian Chefs Association celebrated International Chef's Day by launching its ‘Chef & Child’ Initiative using the international slogan set by WorldChefs – “Healthy Kids – Healthy Future”.

The ‘Chef & Child’ Initiative of the Egyptian Chefs Association aims to educate children and families about proper nutrition. This will be achieved through community-based initiatives led by chef members of the Association. This project will be the voice of the Egyptian culinary industry in its fight against childhood hunger, malnutrition, diabetes and obesity. The Chef & Child Initiative will operate under the recently established Charity & Community Committee of the ECA in charge of organizing all charity and community related events.

The ECA decided that there was no better way to promote this objective than by organizing a visit for school children to a farm that grows organic foods in an environmentally friendly way. Makar Farms, located on Sakara Road, agreed to host a group of 39 children from Manarat El Maadi Language School . After a short welcome by Mounir Makar himself and by Chef Hossam El Din, President of the Egyptian Chefs Association, the children went on a guided tour of the farm so as to familiarize themselves with the different crops and the care needed to grow them. Then the children prepared with the chefs their own healthy lunch using the produce of the farm.

After a fun-filled and healthy day out in the fresh air at the farm, the children returned home with stories of the day’s activities and the lessons they learned. This creative approach to improving knowledge and understanding of farm produce was a great success. Some children even bought, from their own pocket money, fresh salads, vegetables and herbs to take home to their mothers.

The Egyptian Chefs Association hopes that this visit by the Manarat El Maadi Language School will inspire other schools and institutes to make similar trips and with assistance from the Chefs Association improve the knowledge of children and families about proper nutrition.

The ‘Chef & Child' Initiative of the Egyptian Chefs Association will provide a platform for chefs to form solid partnerships with teachers, parents and school nutrition professionals so as to encourage healthy eating and proper nutrition. Activities that promote such awareness can include farm visits, cooking sessions with chefs at school, lectures or talks given by chefs and cooking competitions. Like children, your imagination is the limit!

The Egyptian Chefs Association wishes to thank all the chefs who volunteered their time on International Chefs Day for the success of the event. Special thanks are due to Chef Moustafa El Refaey, Executive Chef and Partner of Zooba Restaurants, who took care of the overall preparation and organization of the cooking event. The Association also wishes to thank Manarat El Maadi Language School for their participation and Makar Farms for the grand hospitality we enjoyed at the farm.

International Chefs Day 2015 – Fiji

Each year on October 20, International Chefs Day is celebrated worldwide.

This year’s theme is ‘Healthy Kids – Healthy Future.’ To celebrate, chefs engage with a local school, nursery school or kindergarten in their community to teach them about healthy eating.

On Tuesday the Food and Beverage team from Radisson Blu Resort Fiji at Denarau Island, Nadi, visited Hindu Mahasabha Primary School to celebrate the event in conjunction with Fiji Chefs Association.

Led by award winning executive chef, Brent Assam, and Food and Beverage director Hani Daher, about 65 school children were treated to a cooking demonstration and fun activities relating to healthy diets.

Mr Assam said: “Healthy eating is important to everyone, but children in particular need to receive all the necessary nutrients for growth and development.

“By conducting this fun and interactive session with them, their knowledge and motivation will hopefully have increased to ensure they look after themselves through a balanced eating lifestyle.”

Pineapple pancakes and coconut, banana and chocolate smoothies were on the menu, with an emphasis on using local ingredients and simple recipes that can be easily created at home.

Head teacher Anil Kumar thanked the resort for helping the children.

“Today is one of the best days in the history of the school to be able to celebrate our partnership with Radisson Blu Resort Fiji and International Chefs Day has created many happy moments for our teachers, students and parents,” he said.

“The morning has highlighted to our community the importance of healthy eating and created a new awareness of the benefits of a nutritional diet.

“It is very timely that our students who have just finished exams and are thinking about a future can see first-hand professional chefs at work. Perhaps it will inspire some to think about this as a career when they leave school.”

Students enjoyed assisting with the food preparation, participating in competitions and having the opportunity to ask questions.

Radisson Blu Resort Fiji prides themselves on their community work through their ‘Adopt-a-School Programme’, with 27 local schools benefitting from computer donations and library set-ups as well as other projects designed to raise educational standards. Hindu Mahasabha Primary has been the most recent recipient through this programme with the building of their new library and donation of 10 computers.
