90 YEARS AND FRESHER THEN EVER 1.1 million Euros. It has been a privilege for me to serve Worldchefs for the last 10 years (already). During this period we have expanded the Young Chefs Development, Global Chefs Challenge and International Chefs Day. We opened the world headquarters in Paris, started Worldchefs Magazine, created the Judges Seminars, Launched Worldchefs Without Borders, Feed the Planet, created myChefspace community platform, recruited 8 full time staff, integrated 25 new country members, grown our World Congress and most recently launched the Worldchefs Academy. None of which would have been possible without our volunteers, members and last but not least our long standing sponsors and their altruistic and unconditional belief in our mission.
Ragnar Fridriksson Managing Director
TURNOVER GROWTH BETWEEN 2005-2017 Thousands
As we celebrate our 90th anniversary and look back at our history, I would like to think that our founding father, Auguste Escoffier, would have been proud. We all know his contribution to the culinary arts but few know about his passion to help others. As president of the French Chefs Association almost a century ago, he was the frontrunner of a social security fund for chefs and he established a hostel for chefs who were in desperate need of a roof. What started 90 years ago as a friendly network for social and cultural exchange between chefs’ associations in 16 countries is now a global body uniting chefs across 110 nations, dedicated to improving culinary standards around the world, and to bringing education and livelihood to those in need. Over the past ten years I have seen Worldchefs grow and evolve. Thinking back I hear the echo of Billy Gallagher. His “WACS dogma” video from the nineties predicted that one day we would have an operating office with a dedicated team providing member services and driving projects that would make us the voice of the culinary industry. Thanks to the unselfish contribution of so many volunteers, we are living up to his expectations and reaching new heights year on year. The achievements of recent years bear witness to the progress we have made. The data from 2004 show a turnover of under € 50.000 that now have reached 6

Where do we head from here? Moving forward it is time we invest in ourselves and acquire our own building, the Worldchefs House. Owning our own building where we can host our office and set up a worldclass demo kitchen with a culinary excellence centre will help us preserve the past and build a legacy for the future. This will further establish Worldchefs as the global voice of the culinary industry and safeguard Worldchefs future. We will continue to bring education to our members, and value to society. We will do so without any consideration to gender, age, colour, religion, politics or borders. This is our legacy. This is Worldchefs.

myChefspace has a community of around 10.000 chefs and is growing by the hundreds each month.We plan to enter the second phase of development and promotion of this community platform by the 4th quarter of 2018 with more attractive content and features. Worldchefs App was recently launched in its beta version and can be found in iOS and Android versions. We have high hopes that this will further increase engagement and sign-ups to myChefsapce.
WORDCHEFS MAGAZINE Due to rapid growth, the organisation’s needs are constantly changing and increasing.The recent recruitment of senior managers in the roles of Director of Operations & Projects and Director of PR & Marketing bring new specialised competencies to the organisation. They form the core management team together with the Managing Director, and are supported by a talented and dedicated team of young people, along with an army of 200 relentless volunteers in our committees and advisory boards.
Worldchefs Magazine is now entering its 9th year of existence with 21 issues on the counter. Currently we produce 3 magazines each year with an annual reach of 31.000 online readers.
NEW OFFICE LOCATION Worldchefs moved to a bigger office in central Paris in late 2017. With a total space of 80m2 that hosts 8 employees as well as a separate meeting room facility that can be converted into a seminar room with a 20 person capacity. In the spring of 2018, we hosted 2 judging seminars, one in the hot kitchen and also the first ever carving seminar with a great attendance. It offered an opportunity for participants to get familiar with Worldchefs’

RECOGNITION OF QUALITY CULINARY EDUCATION (RQCE) Worldchefs holds a network of around 80 recognised schools from almost 50 countries. On average 10-15 new institutions join each year and 1/3 of them come from Europe, 1/3 from Asia and 1/3 from the Americas. Over a dozen of those institutions have been accepted into the “Preferred School” recognition by undergoing a detailed mapping of their training programs that allows their graduates to be automatically eligible for Global Certification at Commis Chef and/or Chef de Partie levels.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS GLOBAL CERTIFICATION Global Certification was relaunched using a new platform with more user-friendly features, alongside an innovative feature that uses digital accreditation (badges) to earn professional recognition. The system was developed together with City & Guilds and won the Innovation of the Year award at the prestigious Federation of Award Bodies (FAB) annual conference. Global Certification saw a soaring number of certified culinarians, with over 500 new certificates granted in 2017. Between 70-80% of those certified coming from institutes within the Worldchefs Recognition program (RQCE) at either a Commis Chef or Chef de Partie level. Several corporate agreements are being made where internal training programs are being mapped towards Worldchefs standards, notably at Disneyland Resorts Shanghai where such an agreement is already in place and where hundreds of employees have already earned Worldchefs Global Certification. 8

WORLDCHEFS ACADEMY The Worldchefs Academy is an online learning platform that will provide free online theory learning in culinary arts to anyone, anywhere and at anytime. It has been in the making for 2 years and will be launched at Worldchefs Congress in Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to this generous donation from Nestlé’s foundation ProGastronomia, we will be able to provide a support for culinary education worldwide and empower the next generation of culinary talents. ART & SCIENCE SEMINARS TOGETHER WITH ELECTROLUX We are now entering into the 5th year of collaboration with Electrolux under the theme Art & Science using cook and chill technologies for better results in various contexts i.e. banqueting, bakery, tandoori, nose to tail etc. We hosted 16 seminars in seven countries for 300 chefs free of charge during 2017. We are laying the ground work to include more countries in the future and already have 18 seminars planned in nine countries in 2018. These include The Emirates, South Africa, USA, Canada, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, and Japan.

COMPETITIONS JUDGING SEMINARS AND COMPETITION SEMINARS Worldchefs has recently introduced new Judging Seminars for Carving and Pastry. We also introduced a new seminar for competitors to improve their performance. A total of 24 seminars for 485 chefs were organised in 2017. Worldchefs holds a list of approximately 700 judges. Criteria for becoming a judge have been made stricter to ensure quality and consistency around the globe, which should see the number of judges drop somewhat in the coming years.

HUMANITARIAN AND RESPONSIBILITY FEED THE PLANET The Feed the Planet program that was launched at the Worldchefs in Deajeon in 2012 has reached new milestones thanks to our close collaboration with Electrolux and AISEEC. One of the most successful projects so far is the Education for Employment program launched in Curitiba, Brazil. In total, 34 people – most of them women – have been or are in culinary training and out of the 18 students that graduated last year, eight have gone on to find employment.

ENDORSEMENTS The Culinary Competition Committee oversees the culinary rules and continuously develops them to keep up with new trends and to ensure consistent quality around the globe. A total of 34 events were endorsed by Worldchefs around the globe in 2017, of which 64% were held in Asia. COMPETITION MANAGEMENT S YSTEM – DIGITAL JUDGING After 3 years of piloting, the competition management system is in the final stages of development. It yielded positive feedback at the Culinary World Cup, The Culinary Olympics, Global Chefs Challenge and at the Battle of the Lion. The electronic system offers organizers and competitors the benefits of increased efficiency, security and transparency. Use of the app can save a large amount
The project in Curitiba has been such a success that it is being replicated in São Carlos, Brazil (to start in September 2018) and in Rosario, Argentina (to start in the last quarter of 2018). Plans are also under way to establish similar culinary training in Egypt and Russia. Sustainability Education for culinary professionals is being introduced into several countries including Canada, Jordan, Costa Rica, Ireland, Wales, South Africa, Dubai, India, Italy, Argentina, Dominican Republic and Brazil. The curriculum can simply be accessed online and is free of charge. We participated in other local projects with focus on food waste and sustainability awareness with a great support from our national members in Sweden, Poland and Singapore. We count on our members’ support for other similar projects around the world. For this we wish to establish a network of sustainability champions to help drive such initiatives harder. WORLDCHEFS WITHOUT BORDERS In 2017 Worldchefs Without Borders collected € 55.026 worth of donations that have been or are to be fully redistributed. With strong leadership and a dedicated team, the Worldchefs Without Borders has been organising events and raising funds for various charities on a continuous basis. A new dedicated website with an improved donation platform has been introduced to support those initiatives.

INTERNATIONAL CHEFS DAY International Chefs Day in 2016 and 2017 saw thousands of chefs from around the world entering school classes to raise awareness for health and nutrition amongst children. Together with Nestle Healthy Kids Foundation and Nestlé Professional’s team we created themes and toolkits to better engage with a young audience; Art on a Plate and Food for Healthy Heroes. The event is ever growing with an increased participation each year and we hope to grow even further in 2018.

NETWORK MEMBERSHIP Worldchefs currently counts 110 national members and new members have or are joining us from Panama, Bolivia, Ghana, Georgia, Tonga and Papua New Guinea. We have been piloting Member Revenue Sharing with several countries so far and will move forward to include all national members at their request. This is a great opportunity for member associations to participate in the successful work being carried out by Worldchefs office and receive financial benefits as well. The agreement also requires action from our members. Most importantly, we wish them to be active at our different events and share news and information with their own member base. We urge all national members to use the country profile page on worldchefs.org where they can announce events, publish news to attract new followers as well as foster member loyalty through myChefspace. WORLDCHEFS CONGRESS & EXPO Congress in Thessaloniki was the first congress fully owned and organised by Worldchefs. Although it was successful overall, it did not come without challenges and there are many lessons yet to be learned. The main challenges faced include hosting the multitude of events, juggling different expectations from different 10

segments i.e. simultaneously holding a General Assembly, creating an interesting speaker program, organising the Billy Gallagher Young Chefs Forum, Global Chefs Challenge and an exhibition. Moving forward, Worldchefs Congress needs a stronger definition on “what” it is and “who” its for in order to focus the congress program and the promotion accordingly. Currently, the Kuala Lumpur congress appears to be one of our most dynamic so far. Having full ownership of the event allowed us to be ready with a program, and start promotion earlier and to reach a higher number of paid registration than ever before. I wish you all a very pleasant event and I hope you enjoy Kuala Lumpur!

A warm welcome to all Worldchefs members from around the globe. It’s hard to believe our next congress is here. It seems like just a few months ago that we were all in Greece. I know we are all in for a real treat in Kuala Lumpur. I would like to thank our host for working so hard to put on a great show of hospitality, friendship and education as well as our fearless leader Andy Cuthbert, Congress Chairman, who has been working non-stop. This will be an amazing congress I am sure. The board, led by President Thomas, has been working very hard on your behalf.We have been very busy aligning President Thomas’s vision with reality. Rest assured that the board places major priority to be sure you all have a voice. I am proud to say our hardworking Continental Directors take all your comments and their job very seriously.

Worldchefs is an amazingly busy, global organization that manages so many projects from certification, world competition, disaster relief, International Chefs’ 18

My term as a Continental Director finishes at this congress so I wish to thank the members of Worldchefs for their support and trust to be a Board member, plus a special thanks to the countries that make up the Pacific Rim and their trust in me to represent them on a global stage. Murray Dick Continental Director Pacific Rim

Murray Dick
Continental Director The last 4 years have been very challenging for Worldchefs as an association. But through the strength of its members and the professional approach and commitment of the Worldchefs Board and office staff, I feel that Worldchefs is gaining strength in its appeal as a global brand, as well as undertaking some fantastic initiatives to help strengthen the organization’s commitment to the mission statement. The office support is the glue that holds this association together to ensure we as an organization follow-up with our commitment to the many sponsors that support us, as well as the day-to-day operation that this association demands. In this regard, I wish to pay a special thanks to the Worldchefs office team and the auxiliary staff members operating around the globe for their efforts to help make us who we are. The next couple of years will be crucial to further cement Worldchefs to, not only attract more sponsors, but to ensure the programmes we have in place are followed through and new initiatives are reviewed before implementation. Financially, the association is on a good financial footing and the careful management of funds is imperative to ensure we are operating in a fiscally-responsible manner to safe guard the whole association and this is the main task of any Presidium supported by the whole Board.
Domenico Maggi
Continental Director Another productive and eventful two years have passed, and what a pleasure it has been to be a part of it! Looking ahead now to the future, we’re entering an exciting but important time for the national associations. It’s vital now that each individual nation gets structured and organized as this is the only way to continue to grow at a rate that will bring in sponsorship and the funds needed to really move forward and grow. The food industry is growing throughout the world and this highlights the need to raise professional standards amongst chefs by getting more of them certified and pushing them to improve on a daily basis. Competitions can play a fundamental role in this by raising the culinary standards of not only the chefs, but of the judges as well. However, competitions shouldn’t be seen as a one-off showcase to collect a medal, but more of an ongoing development to raise standards and to share each nation’s food culture. I wish everybody a great time in Kuala Lumpur. Domenico Maggi Worldchefs Continental Director Europe South

The Congress is another area that I am lucky to be involved with and I have enjoyed organizing the 2016, and 2018 congresses as Congress chairman. It is not an easy task to please all our members but to have the office team behind us in Paris and the local chefs associations working hand-in-hand in Malaysia makes the task much easier and we are in for a great experience. The congress is an important part of the association and is a great opportunity to reunite together and celebrate the 90th Year of Worldchefs. Andy Cuthbert Continental Director Africa & Middle East

Andy Cuthbert
Continental Director The African and Middle Eastern regions continue to grow and we have welcomed Ghana and an associate member from Tunisia to the WorldChefs family over the past 2 years. The region’s completion circuit builds year-on-year and spans from Egypt to South Africa to Mauritius, UAE, Jordan, Qatar and Lebanon and all the countries in-between, running competitions and inspiring young chefs to be active and take part in the World Association.The African Cup held in 2017 in Mauritius was a great competition and the first Alen Thong memorial Young Chefs Challenge, held in 2016 in Abu Dhabi where 8 international teams came to compete, was a great 5 days of competition and camaraderie amongst young chefs. As my role has expanded to Continental Director for Worldchefs, I have found communication to be the most important thing I can do for the member countries, keeping them informed of what the Association is up to and ensuring they have a voice in the association, also through myself when needed. Young Chefs remain very close to my heart and I am proud to be able to still lead the Young Chef Development Team for the association, and with the team behind me of Vice-chair Alan Orreal and Dale Lyman, Jodi-Anne Pearton, Jasper Jek, Roselyn Ediger, Shane Li, Marcus Hallgren, Don Gyurkovits Francis Lo, Sarah Kymbrekos, Martin Harrap, is the team around the globe which we are very lucky to have these dedicated individuals in our association to drive the young chef movement forward with our Young Chef Ambassadors hand-in-hand.

Dr. Rick Stephen
Continental Director Dear Worldchefs Members I have one of the greatest honours bestowed upon me and that was being elected the Continental Director for Asia. I am extremely proud of my position as Continental Director and to be re-elected unopposed is a mark of the work that Worldchefs has contributed here in Asia. Asia is the largest continent in all of Worldchefs, with 21 countries and 5 Associate members, plus a number of corporate members.We here in Asia, contribute to near 6 million members for Worldchefs, with the two major economy powerhouses China and India within our group. Naturally, we have a lot of members in our 19 other countries and this continues to grow each year. I am very grateful

to have the full support of my home base country, Singapore, which in itself is a dynamic powerhouse on all fronts of Worldchefs and the dining scene. Asia is not just about competitions, although we are proud to be the current World Cup and Culinary Olympics Champion. We are here to nurture the future of the industry through mentorship and training. Malaysia is the ‘Truly Asia’ host of this Worldchefs Congress. There is so much diversity, starting from our friend from the Pearl of Asia Penang, right through to Melaka via Kuala Lumpur to see chefs coming together to put their food second only to be outweighed by their hospitality. Worldchefs and PCA Malaysia have given you the platform and have opened the door for you to explore the multi nations and one of the Meccas for diverse cuisine, right at your doorsteps while you are here in KL. Take a walk through the bustling areas and be part of Malaysia even for just 2 to 4 days – you may never have this opportunity again.a Competitions are a ‘live’ part of training, as it is here that our mentoring system in near all countries kicks in. Yes competitions are about cooking skills, but these skills are taught through intense training, our colleges and the willingness of senior chefs to support, along with the sponsors. For those who have not competed in Asia, some events pull in at times 3000 entries over a 4-day period and live hot cooking is the main area. Here in Asia, we have our own competition calendar which you can find on the Worldchefs web page and we are currently hosting 32 Worldchefs certified competitions per year. This is nearly half the total amount of competitions that are certified throughout the world.A lot of training is dedicated to competitions, judging seminars and how to compete, from our Worldchefs representatives. Education WorldChefs has 76 recognized Quality Education colleges approved throughout the world and here in Asia we host 25 of these colleges that have been put to the test and passed with flying colours. Now we are targeting the Worldchefs Certified program which in itself can be challenging, as it is currently only based on the western style of food.The traditional Chinese kitchen has a complete different set up to the western kitchen but some parts are similar with the chain of command. Instead of 1 st, 2nd and 3rd Commis, we have 1st, 2nd and 3 rd Wok and then the same goes throughout the kitchen to the cutters and the specialized areas like dim sum and Asian dessert. India is more on the western system due to the British influence many years ago. Part of the education areas that we cover include a number of workshops or, for a better word, mini masterclasses. Throughout the region, World Chefs has conducted Motivation Presentations which are aimed at the chefs but also aimed at personal life, with dual messages within the presentation on how not only to open doors but on how to step through them and move to the next level of life.

advanced skills, with making mousses, farces, boning, ballotines and quenelles. We have also covered Farinaceous Workshops showing the concepts of pasta-making, risotto, gnocchi, pilaf and basically anything to do with flour. Then there is How to Compete in a Competition. This is aimed for the competitor to get to the next level – and not necessarily a gold medal but on the track to reaching that goal. Singapore, India, Thailand and Japan are some of our major Ambassadors for Electrolux and the Electrolux training sessions are always fully booked. Each country has a host to support Electrolux and this is a window of opportunity for Asia to learn not only different cooking techniques but also how to get the best out of the equipment you have. Every second year in Asia, we host the Asian Presidents Forum. In 2017, our host was Hong Kong, who did a fantastic event held at Hong Kong Disneyland. At the forum, we naturally have an agenda but also each country gets to present what they did over the past year so all can learn or take something away from the event. We held some demonstrations on Indian cooking and dim sum making. Some great topics have come from the Black Sheep group on restaurant trends and where the kitchens for the future are going. Education, World Chefs Without Borders, Competitions, are amongst the topics discussed in Open Sessions with Worldchefs so members can ask any questions or raise any concerns that they may have with regards to what is happening in Worldchefs. Where to now? A number of what I call Rouge Groups are trying to destabilize or run off the good work created by Worldchefs. These groups are based not only here in Asia but strong in Europe as well. My message to our members within Worldchefs – do not support their events as there is not an open book accounting system and where the profits if any, goes, no-one can answer. As the Continental Director for Asia, I welcome all to our part of the World. I do hope you enjoy yourselves and partake in as much as you can and take away nothing but good memories of Asia and its people. At times, here in Asia we are a little shy, but a big smile opens hearts and friendships for the future. Hope to talk to you during the Congress.

I had the opportunity to travel to Colombia for the 25th anniversary of the association where they will announce their new directors and members. The members will travel to Malaysia with Roberto Pineda and they’re also working on organizing a competition. The new president of Costa Rica’s National Association of Chefs, William Ortiz is very interested in being a big part of our organization and is looking to organize a WACS endorsed competition in September. • This year in 2018, we’re looking forward to: • Our continental meeting in Lima for the second time in South America. • We’re also having a culinary salon, and team competition from Peru and other international countries. • Electrolux will present a seminar on sustainability with chef Chris Koetke. • Hosting a second seminar for judges with chef Gert and Claudio in Spanish, an event of great interest for many countries and we invited many schools to attend and also created a big association in Peru.
Claudio G. Ferrer Continental Director
Though we experienced some natural disasters in Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States in 2017 and 2018, we have made great progress and are recuperating. We had a great reunion in Ecuador and we also had the official Worldchefs Judge Meeting and certification, with chef Gert and myself. It was a two-day seminar conducted entirely in Spanish, with 20 attendees present. Incorporated under the Worldchefs umbrella at the Association de Americas, chef Mauricio Armendaris was in charge of the official information, while secretary Cornelia Volino and myself prepared the protocol and papers. We would like to thank chef Thomas and the team at the main office to supported us to make this an official association. We had our semifinals in the American Culinary Federation, whilst in the national convention we had Colombia, Argentina, Canada , USA, Panama, Puerto Rico and we also invited other representatives from the Caribbean Islands. We invited the new presidents from Canada and USA and though we didn’t have many participants from many countries, the national convention was still an informative event that showed the unity of the Americas. We also travelled to Cuba where we spoke to the government about the importance of continuing education, sustainability and certification for chefs. We also visited the United States embassy whilst in Cuba and traveled to many associations on the island.
