International Chefs Day is coming soon: October 20, 2018 – Sign up here to be a Hero!

The new International Chefs day is coming soon!

We are pleased to invite all Chefs from the World to participate to our annual celebration of the International Chefs Day!

Last year’s event was a true success. We reached over 37 000 children in 55 countries. This was in a great part thanks to the commitment of 4,728 chefs who generously donated their time and energy, doubling the scope of the 2016 campaign!


Each year, on October 20th, Worldchefs and its members celebrate International Chefs Day. This important date goes hand in hand with an annual theme, aimed at giving pride and honour to the profession, while using the opportunity to make a positive change for chefs, their local communities and to make a difference in a young person’s life. Since 2015, in co-operation with Nestlé Professional, we have created and realized campaigns that foster healthy eating habits among children. 


The time has come to reveal the International Chefs Day 2018 theme: “Healthy Foods for Growing Up”


Our theme for 2018 will encourage kids to think about what they would like to be when they’re grown up, and how eating healthy foods today can help them get there.

With your input, education and help, the kids will be able to prepare recipes of healthy foods, which will help turn them into the healthiest grown-ups they can be.  

Worldchefs & Nestle Professional counts on YOU to make the world a better place for our kids!

Feed the Planet made the World a better place for another day!

Feed the Planet made the World a better place on the 7th of September! 


Worldchefs, together with Electrolux Food Foundation and AIESEC, organized a Zero Waste Market in St Mariatorget, Stockholm Sweden.

What happened there? 

  • We served vegan soups made from 100% rescued ingredients with the help of the Waste Kitchen!
  • Secondhand clothes had a booth with clothes swooping where visitors could change one of their own garments to a “new” one in the booth!
  • Free books were also available!

Two lectures were delivered that day:

  • “How can we create a sustainable wardrobe and a sustainable relation to fashion?”

by Maria Lagerman, Operations Manager Remake Stockholms Stadsmission

  • “How can we reduce our food waste together?”

by Filip Lundin, Founder of Sopkoket (The Waste Kitchen)

What a lovely concept to help and make the world a better place where we also offered free coffee and sweets from the Food Bank! We had approximately 300 visitors, 300 happy people! It was a success!

Feed the Planet backs culinary training for teenagers from orphanages in Moscow

Feed the Planet backs culinary training for teenagers from orphanages in Moscow

 

The first graduates of the Feed the Planet culinary training on sustainable cooking for youth leaving orphanages in Moscow, are now ready to pursue a career in the professional culinary world.

 This initiative builds on the ongoing Feed the Planet Culinary Training for the Unemployed program in Curitiba, Brazil launched last year by Worldchefs, together with Electrolux & AIESEC

 

Transitioning to independent life can be an ordeal for orphans in Russia. Every year 6,000 teenagers leave their orphanages behind, and only 10% of them are able to provide for themselves or find a job. The “I’m a chef” (Ya’Shef)project is helping some of them with culinary training on sustainable cooking, and valuable life skills, such as learning how to work in a team, start a business or pursue an education in a culinary college.

 

The project is a collaboration between Worldchefs, the Electrolux Food Foundation, AIESEC & the National Association of Culinary Specialists of Russia and the local “Big Brothers, Big Sisters” organization.

 Over two months, and ending on August 31, 20 applicants have received 36 lessons from gastronomy gurus at a culinary studio in Moscow. They also have had the opportunity to meet with influential food bloggers and food stylists. 

 

We are delighted to see how we are replicating the successful culinary training program to help people enter the labor market. We started this project in Brazil last year and we’re now implementing it in different parts of the world” said Malin Ekefalk, Director of Social Responsibility.

 

Some of the students in Moscow will start working in restaurants after the training, whereas others will take part in the prestigious Russian chef competition – Chef a la Russe. Also, two students have been accepted into a culinary college in Russia.

 

Worldchefs, the Electrolux Food Foundation & AIESEC will implement similar training culinary programs for the unemployed in other parts of the world during this and next year.
