Dilmah's MJF Centre's Empower Culinary Hospitality & Inspirational School Attains Worldchefs Certification

Post author By Anand
Post date March 12, 2018

Dilmah’s Empower Culinary Hospitality and Inspirational School’s
culinary course was recognized and certified by Worldchefs in January 2017. An
initiative by Dilmah’s Merrill J. Fernando Charitable Foundation (MJFCF), its
mission was born from its founder’s belief that the organization has a part to
play in giving back to the underprivileged and less fortunate in the
community.

The school aims to empower disadvantaged youths with valuable,
lifelong skills in hospitality and the culinary arts, and provide them with the
opportunity to seek employment in the related industry on a local and
international level. The school features a state of the art Culinary Training
Unit that contains the latest cooking technology and culinary equipment,
designed to give its students a holistic training course. The school’s
curriculum spans a period of three and a half months and involves giving
students basic and advanced kitchen courses that cover a range of topics, from
culinary theory, knife skills, health and nutrition to the business aspects of
running a restaurant.

The lessons are facilitated by MJFCF’s own training instructions and
WACS certified chefs from around the world, and the school frequently plays
host to global culinary experts and celebrity chefs.

Being the only culinary institution in Sri Lanka to receive the Worldchefs
certification, Dilmah’s Empower Culinary Hospitality and Inspirational School
is now a globally recognised culinary institute that provides excellence in
education.

About Dilmah

Merrill J. Fernando dedicated his life to tea when in the 1950s,
he saw the concentration of ownership in the tea industry in the hands of a few
large corporations. This was leading to the commoditisation of tea. He decided
that in the interest of tea drinkers around the world, and the crop that his
country produced with so much care and artistry, he would fight this process of
commoditisation.

It took him nearly four decades and in 1988 he launched his own
brand – Dilmah. Dilmah was the first producer owned tea brand, and offered tea
‘picked, perfected and packed’ at origin. Unlike the multi-origin blends that
monopolised supermarket shelves, Dilmah brought tea that is freshly packed at
source and therefore rich in flavour and natural goodness.

Dilmah is unique; a brand that is founded on a passionate
commitment to quality and authenticity in tea, it is also a part of a
philosophy that goes beyond commerce in seeing business as a matter of human
service. This is what makes Dilmah the first ethically produced tea. In 2005,
Merrill and his sons Dilhan and Malik, pledged to follow the principles
dictated by the 12 Principles of Dilmah in every aspect of their business and
in the conduct of their workers, staff and management.

Worldchefs Welcomes HUG On Board As Global Partner

Post author By Anand
Post date March 5, 2018

Worldchefs
Welcomes HUG On Board As Global Partner

DATE @ “d MMMM yyyy” 9 March 2018 – Worldchefs is pleased to announce a new partnership with Switzerland-based
food service giant, HUG, who will be recognized as a Global Partner of
Worldchefs, with exclusivity in the “prêt-à-garner” market.

Since 1877, Swiss family-owned HUG has lived by these values –
sincere, entrepreneurial and conscientious. The company was founded by Josef
Hug-Meyer, who created the
recipe for the iconic Swiss bread – Zwieback and since then, the company has been
managed by generations after. Through hard work and dedication, they have added
other biscuits and brands to form a major conglomerate that is synonymous with quality products in
the food industry.

“We’re excited to have HUG on-board as a global partner for
Worldchefs. For years, they have created quality products and this reputation means this is naturally a trusted brand for chefs
to work with,” said Thomas Gugler, Worldchefs President.

“HUG
have been a valuable partner to Worldchefs over the past years and we are
particularly proud to continue our close collaboration in the future.” Said
Ragnar FRIDRIKSSON, Managing Director

About HUG

The company history of HUG started over 140
years ago in a bakery in Lucerne. Josef Hug-Meyer laid the foundation stone for
success in 1877, with the discovery of the zwieback or rusk. Since then
countless other biscuits such as Läckerli, Willisauer-Ringli, DAR-VIDA
Crackers, biscuits for restaurants and hospitality, frozen snacks and Bricelets
have been added, partly by company take-overs. The takeover of Wernli AG from
Trimbach in 2008 enabled optimum expansion of the range to include biscuits
containing chocolate. Choco Petit Beurre, Japonais and Jura Wafers were
invented at Wernli.

HUG AG is a Swiss family company through and
through: with its three locations Malters, Willisau and Trimbach it is at home
in the heart of Switzerland and is now managed in the fourth generation by
Andreas and Werner Hug.

The recipe for the quality and good taste of
our products is in the hands of the people who work with them. True to our
motto:

Sincere, entrepreneurial and conscientious.

About Worldchefs

Worldchefs is a global authority on food, creating impact through these
core focus areas:

Education – includes our landmark Recognition of
