International Chefs Day: Celebrating 20 Years of Advocacy
Celebrating two decades of advocacy and community engagement through International Chefs Day, this milestone reflects...
Each year on October 20th, we celebrate International Chefs Day, a tradition founded in 2004 by the late Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher to honor our culinary profession and inspire the next generation. Worldchefs, in partnership with Nestlé Professional, is thrilled to bring you this year’s exciting campaign: Food Explorers.
The 2025 theme invites children to embark on a culinary adventure, discovering the joys of cooking, the importance of healthy eating, and the value of sustainable practices. By exploring fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, we can spark curiosity and creativity in young minds, nurturing their love for food and the planet. Together, we can make a lasting impact! Join thousands of chefs worldwide in hosting engaging workshops, sharing knowledge, and creating memorable experiences for children in your community. Whether it’s a hands-on cooking session, a garden tour, or a fun nutrition activity, every moment spent with kids can inspire a lifelong passion for culinary arts.
Here’s how you can celebrate International Chefs Day 2025:
The International Chefs Day Toolkit, available at worldchefs.org/internationalchefsday, equips you with everything you need: recipes, workshop tips, posters, certificates, and a recipe book for kids to take home. No event is too big or small—whether you spend 5 minutes or a full day, your efforts will leave a lasting impression.
If October 20th is busy, consider choosing any other day in October to connect with children. Share your Food Explorers moments by emailing photos and videos to internationalchefsday@worldchefs.org and use the hashtags:
#ICDFoodExplorers #InternationalChefsDay #ThisIsWorldchefs #NestleProfessional #InternationalChefsDay #PreparingChildrenForAHealthyLife
The International Chefs Day Committee is here to support you. Contact us for guidance or inspiration. Together, let’s ignite a passion for food, health, and sustainability in the next generation of culinary explorers!
Thank you for shaping the future of our culinary world.
Get cooking and explore the world of food with kids this October!
