WORLDCHEFS – PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

and overall protection of Worldchefs. We have been working on Standard Operating Procedures for our board, our employees and committees. We have developed confidentiality agreements, conflict of interest documents and reintroduced our code of ethics, and are currently having them all signed by all parties. We are not reinventing the wheel, just working on organization and consistency. In regards to financials, Worldchefs has started the year 2016 with more money in the bank than ANY, OTHER, YEAR. Our sponsorship and partners have never been stronger with 2 new sponsors, a rebirth of another, and 2 other exciting opportunities I look forward to sharing with you at the congress. I will tell you, these are Huge opportunities! All of which have taken hundreds of man hours and careful negotiations. You need to attend the congress to see the unveiling of these programs in person.

MEMBER REVENUE SHARING PROGRAM I am proud to announce a concept that will give back to our members by sharing revenue with National Associations that support and promote all Worldchefs Programs. As a member country, if you promote and successfully complete Worldchefs Programs, you will receive a percentage of the revenue of that program. Programs to include: Worldchefs Certification, Recognized Schools Program, and Judges Seminar, to name a few. So what this means is, the more a National Member Country promotes and sells these programs, the more profit you will receive back to your country at the end of the year. This is a great opportunity to offset membership dues. Of course all of the above have to go through proper channels of approval to be sure we are keeping Worldchefs standards intact. We will report back to you with more information on the program at the congress and hope to get it off the ground in 2017.

CHARLES CARROLL, CEC, AAC Worldchefs – President

DEAR MEMBERS, SPONSORS AND FRIENDS, September is finally here and I look forward to seeing you all at the congress in Thessaloniki Greece. I would like to take this time to congratulate Chef Andy Cuthbert, our Congress Chairman and team, who have done an AMAZING job crossing all the T’s and dotting the I’s. I hope you all appreciate the tireless work that all our volunteers, the Chef Clubs in Greece, Worldchefs office staff and our PCO Artion, have done towards the success of this amazing congress. Worldchefs has been blessed over the past several years to grow in so many ways. We have grown in size, with members and with countries; we have grown with partners, sponsorships and with cost. We have grown with positive member educational programs, World certification, World Competition and an amazing program called, Worldchefs Without Borders to name a few. The board’s focus over this past year has been to take a deep breath, slow down a bit, cut what was not working, and strengthen what is working. In regards to organization, the board has carefully evaluated every employee, contractor, and partner contracts, focusing on consistency 6 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

SPONSOR PROGRAMS AND EDUCATION We continue to stay busy with educational programs through our partners. We are currently organizing Electrolux “Art and Science” Technology in the kitchen and have programs in 8 countries around the world, England, Singapore, India, Turkey, Sweden, South Africa, Dubai and USA. These have been amazingly successful, educational and a great benefit to our members. You can find these programs listed on our website www.worldchefs.org. The Sustainability Education Program, I reported on a few months ago is going full steam ahead. This one of a kind program that Worldchefs created is currently being piloted in five culinary schools around the world, Ireland, United Arab Emirates, South Africa and Costa Rica. Next year it will be offered to over 60 Worldchefs recognized schools for free! Again another benefit to our members. Worldchefs Academy. Again to recognize our members’ needs, we have compiled all our resources in Worldchefs, coupled with those of our sponsors and will be pooling them all together on one brochure. These educational demonstrations, product introduction and lectures will then be offered to all our schools and member countries. This will allow you to see what education is available, and gives you the opportunity to host these programs in your countries. More education reaching our members! More information will be available at the congress.

WORLDCHEFS – PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

STATUTES AND STANDING RULES The long time work done by Vice President, BIG John Sloane and his “by-laws” committee is complete. A big thank you to John, Brian Cotterill, Don Gyurkovits and Karl Guggenmos for all their hard work. This has been tedious work over this past year and has been reviewed by the board on three different occasions. At this point we have mailed out copies to all our presidents and asked for feedback in order to speed up the voting process at the congress. The committee then made final recommendations, the document is ready to be ratified and Vice President Sloane will be reporting on this at the congress. Thank you to all that have taken the time to give us feedback.

COMPETITION The Culinary Committee has been working hard to standardize our competitions and updating the judges list. You will be hearing from them soon in regards to the guidelines for the Global Chef competitions in 2017. This is long and tedious work so please be sure to thank the committee led by chairman, Gert Klotzke for all their contribution. The BIG news of the year is that our Global Young Chefs Competition is being moved to Sirha in Lyon, France. The Competition will actually be on the same day as the Bocuse d’Or. This is truly and amazing opportunity for Worldchefs! In closing I hope you can see that your board has put a great emphasis on our members needs and services while maintaining our responsibilities to our partners. We have more sponsorship than ever before, we have more members than ever before, we have more programs for our members and we had more than 20 countries bidding for our congress, more than ever before. Ladies and Gentleman, I believe our brand, “Worldchefs” is becoming stronger than ever. I believe we have stabilized and turned the corner. At this time I would like to give a heartfelt “thank you” to all the board members, all committee members and committee chairmen for their amazing work and generous time volunteering. I hope you all appreciate how much time these individuals spend for the betterment of our profession and chefs around the world. I would also like to give a special thank you to the current Presidium, John Sloane and Helgi Einarsson, for their service and dedication. And, one last “thank you” to Ragnar Fridriksson and the entire Worldchefs office for their perseverance and loyalty to our organization. We all need to remember we are chefs first; we are ladies and gentlemen, serving ladies and gentlemen. We are chefs without borders, that is what we do. I am proud to have served as your president. I hope you are pleased with our work over the past few years and I look forward to serving you all over the next four years as past president. Thanks again for all your support and patience

HELLO, HOSTELEO

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY Tina Tang from Canada will join 11 other Worldchefs Young Chefs Ambassadors around on the globe to strengthen the global young chefs movement. She is currently the Pastry Chef at The Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Estate Winery.

Worldchefs has inked a partnership with Hosteleo, the portal for job searches in the Hotel and Tourism industries in Spain. In February 2016 Hosteleo expanded to reach a larger audience of hispanophones in Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and the United States of America. By visiting hosteleo.com, chefs can look for jobs in one country at a time or in multiple Spanish speaking countries fostering global job placement opportunities.

The Young Chefs Development Committee has added Sarah Kymbrekos, who is founder and president of the Vanuatu Chefs and Food Handlers Association and passionate culinarian and advocate for YoungChefs in Vanuatu. Rosalyn Ediger from Canada is looking forward to mentoring young female chefs to empower themselves to aim for the same positions as their male counterparts.

CAMP CAMBODIA The Cambodia Chefs Association has been ramping up their action! In August, the association crossed a milestone by inviting Asia Continental Director, Rick Stephen, to host 3 workshops for 120 chefs. The workshops focused on competition cold work and glazing, competition boning and fabrication of chicken and a 1-hour individual hot kitchen competition. This event garnered full support, including Secretary of State Mr H.E. Mr. Pak Sokhom from the Royal Government of Cambodia, who went on stage to assist in the boning process. The remaining profit of $USD500 was presented to the Angkor Hospital for Children. This exciting event was led by chefs such as President Bora, Chef Ving San, Chinda Som and many more.

From China, Shane Li is a well-known figure at the YoungChefs of Shanghai and he has many years of experience working with the Young Chefs in China as besides being a hospitality lecturer he is also a WACS Culinary Judge.

WORLDCHEFS NEWS ALL FOR FIJI The NZ Chefs has raised $NZD15919.52 in support of Cyclone Winston. Cyclone Winston inflicted extensive damage on many islands and killed 44 people. Communications were temporarily lost with at least six islands, with some remaining isolated more than two days after the storm’s passage. A total of 40,000 homes were damaged or destroyed and approximately 350,000 people—roughly 40 percent of Fiji’s population—were significantly impacted by the storm. Total damage from Winston amounted to USD$1.4 billion. The cheque was presented to the Fiji Chefs Association for funding relief at the NZ National Culinary Competitions. Says Chef Murray Dick, Continental Director of Pacific Rim, “We want to thank World Chefs without Borders for their support in transferring funds and the whole chef community for all the tireless work that you undertake.” 8 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

THE LAUNCH OF THE NATIONAL CULINARY TEAM OF PAKISTAN The Chefs’ Association of Pakistan (CAP), along with the College of Tourism & Hotel Management (COTHM) launched the country’s first National Culinary Team of Pakistan in January 2016. The Provincial Minister for Education, Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs Rana Mashhood Ahmed Khan was the chief guest at the prestigious ceremony.

Now with the evolution of this culinary team, the country will get recognition in this arena too.”

WORLDCHEFS – OFFICE TEAM

You would have spoken or emailed them before, but what does the Worldchefs office team actually do?

RAGNAR FRIDRIKSSON Managing Director, Head Office WITH WORLDCHEFS I have been here 7 years now. My first encounter with Worldchefs was at the opening of the office in Paris January 2009 where I first met former president Gissur. He laid down his vision for Worldchefs and I immediately bought into it. I started with immediate effect pro-bono and officially in April that same year on a half time contract but with 100% work input from the very start. WHAT I DO There is really a large variety of tasks and since we are still a very small team I need to be very pragmatic and hands on. I spend a lot of my time answering emails of all sorts, attending conference calls with different committees or the board members or writing up proposals, creating partnerships and planning new projects…to name a few. HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED The greatest change is that until 2013 I was the only employee. Before, the scope could range from driving a truck from Paris to Erfurt to set up the booth at IKA, to handing complex legal and financial issues...and everything in between. Now I have a great team around me that allows me to delegate and focus my time on planning, developing 12 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

new projects and caring more for new and existing sponsors. WORLDCHEFS HAS PROGRESSED Having increased our income from 200 000 Euros to almost 1 million Euros has allowed us to recruit personnel and strengthen the office. As a result we have become more productive and professional. We have been positioning our selves as a key player in education and humanitarian work attracting new strong partners. We have also streamlined our branding and strengthened our communication with our website, social media and magazine. So many things have been done although it’s just the beginning. I would say we have metamorphosed. MEMORABLE MOMENTS There have been great memories and a privilege to meet and work with some great people. Creation of the Palestine chefs association, organising feed the planet round table in the Philippines in the presence of senator Bam Aquino, opening of World Chefs Without Borders at the French Finance Ministry are memorable moments to name a few. PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENTS Working for Worldchefs and developing the organisation to where we are today has been my proudest task. The latest achievement is re-launching Feed the Planet with an unprecedented support from Electrolux Corporate Social Responsibility fund. Through strategic partnerships we are piloting a program aiming to help people out of poverty through culinary education. An effort we aim to duplicate around the world and that will bring Worldchefs to a new level as a social impact organisation. MY HOPES TO CONTRIBUTE I hope to continue grow Worldchefs to become an internationally recognised authority on culinary issues and a key partner of governments and NGO’s on global industry issues such as education, sustainability and nutrition. WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT What Worldchefs stands for and what we do. Our biggest challenge is to reach the working chefs within our member associations with content and a message that is useful and relevant to them. WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY Spending quality time with my two kids Tristan and Morgane 11 and 6 years of age.

AMALIA NICULESCU Communications Manager, Head Office WITH WORLDCHEFS I started as an intern in january 2014 and got a permanent contract in july 2015. WHAT I DO I am responsible for the online and digital work, from creating webpages to managing social media campaigns and content. I also work with the sponsors on their advertisements...and more. A DAY IN MY LIFE In the morning I take care of emails and urgent tasks and monitor activity on social media, take care of the Facebook groups. In the afternoon I do bigger tasks that take many hours at a time: uploading events & news on the website, creating text for webpages or helping Jenny Tan with the editorial work for the magazine. MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS The last congress, which was my first experience, and I still remember the moment when the winners of Global Chefs Challenge were chosen. WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW That the staff at the head office are not interchangeable. Andreea takes care of office & finance, I take care of digital communication and Joachim does website development, updates national association info and does webmaster tasks.

WORLDCHEFS – OFFICE TEAM

ANDREEA MOCANU Administrative Assistant, Head Office

JOACHIM TRIVAL Webmaster Assistant, Head Office

JENNY TAN & CHARLES LIM Asia Office

WITH WORLDCHEFS For two years and 3 months and counting.

WITH WORLDCHEFS For more than one year but I joined the organization officially in Jan 2016.

WITH WORLDCHEFS We were appointed to represent Worldchefs as the first ever Asia office in 2011. The role is part time, not full time. We were appointed during HOFEX, when we were so interested in the Global Chefs Challenge that we hired a videographer on our own and edited the first film snippet of the Global Chefs Challenge. We still remember this moment vividly.

A DAY IN MY LIFE At Worldchefs, I manage general office tasks to ensure the effective day to day running of the office. This includes collaboration with suppliers, web team and other co-workers. I also organize office meetings and events while combining marketing & communications, daily. I also manage the invoicing and payroll. Recently, I am coordinating the Global Chefs Challenge. I also assist the Managing Director on the administrative matters. THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT Gala dinner at Paul Bocuse restaurant in January 2015 during Sirha event. It was gastronomy at its best. WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW Worldchefs can sometimes be seen as a very big organisation but the administration team is very small. We have millions of chefs to take care of and we love doing this, but the reality is we are a very small team that’s doing our best.

A DAY IN MY LIFE I was hired by Worldchefs as a Webmaster / Communication Assistant. I’m in charge of the operations of the website and also I coordinate different digital projects for the Worldchefs website to the IT team. MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT I am still new and I am very privileged to be part of the Worldchefs Congress in Thessaloniki, in Greece this year. I know it will be memorable. WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW That Worldchefs is working really hard to develop a social network that brings together food lovers and chefs.

WHAT WE DO The intention at the beginning was to have Asian representation to reach out to the chefs in Asia as we already know many of the chefs here. However, as everyone’s roles evolved and the head office expanded, we found ourselves lending our expertise in areas such as the Worldchefs magazine, building up the PR system and assisting head office with copywriting, such as looking after the copy for the Congress. We facilitated a collaboration with the digital PR platform, MyNewsDesk, worth about 8,000 euros annually. And whenever we can help. Rick Stephen, Asia Continental Director has done a fantastic job unifying the chefs in Asia. THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT As we are located in Asia, we don’t get to see the head office staff in real life often. So every time we see them, whether when they come to Asia or during the Congress, we remember the personal moments very fondly. WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW That Worldchefs can claim to be the authority of chefs because of the many unsung heroes who have put in the commitment and sacrificed their time.

“Bill Gallagher touched me in 2008 when he came to Dubai for the Congress. Instantly you like Billy, instantly you remember Billy and instantly you know you are in the presence of a remarkable man. My time with Billy in 2008 started me on the Worldchefs journey I am on now as Chairman of the Young chefs and the Worldchefs Congress, all of which would not have been possible without Billy. In 2009 I was humbled and honoured to be asked by Billy to take the lead on the Bill Gallagher Forum on his behalf and drive the forum forward for each congress. How do you say no to such a man, and since that moment I have been one of the many fortunate people who have been able to call Bill Gallagher a friend, mentor and guide. A man that was able to instill into you in every interaction, however long or short, inspiration and drive to continue with best intentions. Over the past months I would chat with Billy for roughly an hour per week. During these conversations we covered everything from Worldchefs importance, Winston Churchill, sending his love to Jo my wife and her ‘bears’ as he called our sons, and to end, a joke that he would tell then immediately hang up. What I learnt from Bill was that Worldchefs is an institution of immense importance, an institution that must be guarded and protected for the future of our profession and it is this passion from him that compels me every day to work for the Young chef development team and the association as a whole. I will be forever grateful for Bill’s pieces of advice, to quote 3 that will stay with me for my life: i)Be organized, young man ii) When in negotiations, he said ”always allow for wiggle room”, and the 3rd one iii) it is not who you know but more importantly who knows you. I will be forever grateful I knew Dr Bill Gallagher. Thank you Bill for touching my life and that of young chefs around the world; we will try and keep Worldchefs as strong as you always were.” Andy Cuthbert Chairman Worldchefs Congress 2016 Chairman of the Young Chefs Global Development team for Worldchefs Chairman Emirates Culinary Guild WWW.WORLDCHEFS.ORG

WORLDCHEFS – BILL GALLAGHER TRIBUTE

“Chef is my idol, my mentor, my friend. I have known him for 14 years and he always had a grasp on my life and what I was up to and when needed was the voice that steered me in the direction he thought would have the best outcome. He was always involved and was there when I needed him for advice, for a joke, for inspiration and for comment. He gave me the best advice: To carry on being who I am, inspire people with my words and above all don’t let people get you down. And when you are down, get back up and fight for what you believe in. He would also try to think of a better way to make things happen, rather than just saying No. “I met Billy in 1993, and for the 22 years, in so many roles…Our friendship has evolved over time too. Billy was my first leader (he was never “ a boss”, after I graduated), but over the years it changed, to a mutual advisory. He always imparts words of wisdom. Here are some: Learn to lose quickly and win slowly; If something is not working, drop it and move on. You can never pay too much attention to the detail and if it is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. In 2002, Billy wanted to repeat the success of the 1993 World Cooks Tour for Hunger to raise funds to combat hunger in South Africa. To this day, I don’t know who volunteered me, or how I got involvedbut I found myself attending bi-weekly planning meetings with the other 14 volunteers on the committee for most of 2003 and as we were preparing for the biggest culinary event that the country has ever seen. Needless to say the event was an amazing success, which not only delivered on all the financial ambitions we had set, but also raised the necessary international awareness on hunger in Southern Africa and proved to the world what Bill Gallagher can achieve with passion, determination and a group of volunteers. In 2007, I coordinated a book about Peri-Peri. I had a vast collection of related bits of information on the topic, but was also acutely aware of all the obvious gaps in research that needed to be complete in order to publish a credible reference that would position Nando’s as the undisputed experts on the subject. It was during these desperate times, that I experienced Bill’s unwavering strength and moral support as we had to revisit the original project intend, take back control of the project and set new milestones for ourselves. And as we titled the book “Pain & Pleasure: the contrasts and contradictions of the African Bird’s Eye chilli” there definitely was a bit of Gallagher sarcasm in the last line of the foreword when we thanked “everyone that has lived, loved, laughed, cried and celebrated with us on this journey” So as I reflect on the last 22 years of my life (in fact the full 22 years of my career) Billy has been there since day 1. He gave the shy farm girl from nowhere, an opportunity, and then continued to train and develop, (and lately also coach and mentor) me. He challenged my comfort zones and stretched my self-esteem to allow for growth...not many had this privilege.” Thank you Billy. Rochelle Schaetzl Nestlé Professional 16 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

When I was a young chef, I did the worst thing possible – I walked out of my workplace with my knife bag. I thought it was the end of my career, and I called Chef Billy. When he heard what I did, he said I should never have done that but added the environment sounded like it did not suit me. He told me I should never burn bridges, and then offered me a job. When I told him I have already been offered another job, he kindly reminded me, “In life we forget relationships and friendships, never struggle alone.” Adrian Vigus-Brown Young Chefs Club Chairman - Gauteng Worldchefs Young Chefs Ambassador - Africa and Middle East

WORLDCHEFS – BILL GALLAGHER TRIBUTE

“I met Dr Billy Gallagher when I arrived in South Africa as a young inspiring Chef from Austria. I have known him for…years. Our friendship went beyond Honorary Presidents of the South African Chefs Association and Executive Chefs, it was a relationship which I honoured, respected and treasured. A friendship when I needed that expert advice or shoulder to lean on…a friendship that I am truly going to miss for the rest of my life. Billy (as I would get to call him in later years) was my Mentor and my “South African” Father – an honourable man who taught me the “mise en place” of life, business and how to “Keep it Cooking”!

“Chef Billy Gallagher’s commitment to Chefs, Young Chefs, Worldchefs, and the entire hospitality field is unprecedented. We all know, or have an idea, what an impact he has made on our profession but his memorial in South Africa was overwhelming. A constant outpour from all around the world made us all realize that Dr. Gallagher was larger than life. If you look up “Honorary President” in the encyclopedia, you will see a picture of Dr. Billy Gallagher, because he truly played this role to heart, above and beyond all expectations. Billy was the heart, the soul, the lending ear, the voice of reason, the atmosphere of calmness, the gate keeper,… and the God Father of our association. His work with Worldchefs was constant and most cases every day.

When I met Billy the first time in October 1988, during the Worldchefs congress in South Africa, I was watching him delivering a speech to the chefs of the world I was so impressed. That was the decisive moment when I decided he is my idol. When I took over him as President of the South African Chef Association 12 years later, he called me over after the election and said, “You must promise me to get your priority list right. 1st - Family, 2nd - Job and only third is the Chefs Association…If you do not promise me that I will not hand over to you.” So I had to promise him there and then and still stick to my promise to date. I was truly blessed to have known Dr Billy Gallagher and call him friend.” Martin Kobald Honorary President, South Africa Chefs Association

Honorary President wasn’t a title; it was a way of life for Billy. His mentorship literally spanned around the globe. I can tell you without hesitation, Worldchefs is in a better place having Dr. Billy Gallagher an advisor, friend and mentor. Lord knows he was a great inspiration and mentor to me over the past several years, for that I am grateful.” Chef Charles Carroll CEC, AAC Worldchefs President WWW.WORLDCHEFS.ORG

A WORLD-CLASS TEA PROGRAMME John Clancy, Worldchefs Education Director, shares his experience at the Dilmah School of Tea, and how it has shaped his understanding of the humble herb.

WORLDCHEFS – EDUCATION

When I received an invitation to attend the Dilmah school of tea programme in Sri Lanka, I admit I was apprehensive what I was going to learn. After having gone through the programme, I am inspired – by the topic, and by the Dilmah philosophy of ‘Business as a matter of human service’. I attended the 34th School of Tea, and my role was to observe the programme on behalf of Worldchefs, as the programme had applied for certification. The event attracted participants from all corners of the world, who came to learn about tea and how we can better experience it. Established in 2009 , the aim of this programme was to uphold the traditions of tea through cultivating a respect for the product and to share its rich cultural heritage. The founder Merrill J. Fernando and his sons, Dilhan and Malik, definitely have a unique perspective on tea and this is very evident in their desire of sharing the pleasure in creating real tea which is further enhanced through their educational focus in the training Programmes they deliver. BUSINESS AS A MATTER OF HUMAN SERVICE The trip took us to many different places including a visit to the MJF Charitable foundation in Moratuwa which caters for abused women and children with disabilities children who are supported through kindness and generosity of the foundation. This is a powerful expression of Merrill J. Fernando’s pledge to make his business a ‘matter of human service’, and this is clearly seen in the lives that have been transformed through the work and commitment of his charitable foundation. You have to see it to believe it. They have also recently added a well-equipped culinary school, which will teach skills to the underprivileged, and offer them a chance to set up their own business, or achieve placement through their network of hotels.

NUWARA ELIYA, THE HEART OF CEYLON TEA Plantation tours Nuwara Eliya is to Ceylon what Champagne is to the French wine. This beautiful picturesque landscape and temperate climate is situated in the central highlands of Sri Lanka at an altitude of more than 6,000 ft. Here, some of the finest tea plants and leaves are grown and then used to produce a range of high quality Dilmah teas. We also visited the Dunkeld estate where we met some of the tea leaf pickers and witness first -hand how the tea is being processed in the traditional orthodox manner without the use of mechanisation. In so, it offers the best and most authentic experience of tea.

TEA - A 360 DEGREE EXPERIENCE The Tea Inspiration sessions, conducted at Water’s Edge Hotel is an intensive process. It starts wih pairing different varieties of hot tea and foods at breakfast, before the classroom style session starts. During class, participants go through intensive study on various topics, such as the history and culture of tea, the rules for making the right cup of tea, Advanced sensory evaluation and olfactory and sense of taste. Students also created their own series of cocktails using a variety of teas, spirits and liquers which were presented to their peers. They were led by experts in each field, from medical researchers, international mixologists, to sensory analyst specialists.

I was extremely impressed with this programme and its delivery and want to compliment all the faculty members who contributed in their own unique style to the event. The variety of presentations and practical knowledge sessions were well received and all participants were fully engaged in this. It was a pleasure therefore to recognise Dilmah School of Tea as an approved training programme and present them with their seal of approval from Worldchefs. Congratulations on setting up such a world-class tea programme, and I am personally looking forward to the wonders of tea shared around the world with this programme. WWW.WORLDCHEFS.ORG

WORLDCHEFS – EDUCATION

THE BEST OF EAST AND WEST Kai Ping Culinary School’s educational philosophy is based on Postmodernism and Laoism, a combination of east and west values. The school thrives for excellence through a Phase Thematic Socialization (PTS) curriculum design, fostering soft skills, and strengthening hard skills through practice. Howard Hsia, Vice Principal of the school shares about this unique vision. What sets your culinary institution apart from the rest in Taiwan? Kai Ping Culinary School’s (KP) educational philosophy serves as the foundation for our teachers to focus on the cultivation of our students to explore and learn “Guan-Xi,” a Chinese term of the intraand interpersonal relationship between self with the mind and self with others. While factors such as the level of education, experiences or skillsets are important in succeeding in life, it is not the determining factors of success. We believe, “Guan-Xi”, the understanding of relationship is the most essential factor in leading a successful life. “Guan-Xi” directly influences and reflects ones’ role on a team, an institution, a community, or in society. Positive “Guan-Xi” may bring satisfaction and joy with self, friends, marriage, co-workers, supervisor or staff, and occasionally; it may even bring business opportunities, while negative “Guan-Xi” can lead to depression, and loss of opportunities. The term “Guan-Xi” is the essential determining factor of success, particularly, in the service industry where teamwork is valued most, and where culinary art is a medium for an act of love. When kitchen and service staff provide an unforgettable experience, that connection with customers, who may be successful celebrities, business owners, politician, or ordinary individuals, is the art of “Guan-Xi.” What are the core values? KP’s core value is the fostering of soft skills and “Guan-Xi” is the link between leadership, management, conceptual, and personal competencies. Our curriculum revolves around “Guan-Xi” and is

20 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

delivered through a Phase Thematic Socialization (PTS) approach, where hard and soft skills are taught through themed topics instead of subjects. Students learn to make choices, be responsible for their actions, self-organize, play different roles, and execute an action plan through themed topics such as participating in activities, and organizing events. Students are self-motivated to learn through their experiences in organizing and participating in themed topic, as a result, gaining confidence along each step of achievements. Our proactive educational philosophy and pedagogy differentiates us from the 150 secondary and tertiary culinary programs in Taiwan. How is the culinary education landscape in Taiwan like? Is there a lot of interest in culinary education? Taiwan has been known as the gourmet island with its cuisines and street delicacies. There is a growing demand of culinary talents for the prosperous culinary industry in Taiwan and Asia, leaving a short supply of students to meet the industry demand, particularly when the demand goes beyond Taiwan, to the neighboring countries. There is the influence of popular culinary shows, and the rise of celebrity chefs. In 2014, a research showed that the top three job choices for junior high students were doctors, lawyers and culinary profession. This has led to an increase in the curriculum programmes available and today, there are more than 150 secondary and tertiary culinary programmes. However, Kai Ping Culinary School remains as the only Worldchefs certified professional, single disciplinary, culinary school of Taiwan. KP students have been “a popular recruit” in the eyes of culinary and hospitality professionals due to our focus on practice training, positive attitude, and respect towards the profession.

WORLDCHEFS – EDUCATION

What is the impact the school has made thus far? We have many students who are now successful entrepreneurs, and students holding various positions in the culinary profession in major tourism destination around the globe. One of our early graduates is a celebrity chef judge in the Chinese version of “Hell’s kitchen,” in China. One alumnus, at the age of 28, is made Executive Sous Chef at the Joel Robuchon at The Mansion in MGM Las Vegas, and is now the Chef de Cuisine with Venetian Palazzo Resort in Las Vegas, at the age of 32. We also have graduates established chain restaurant groups in various cuisines. One graduate has seven restaurant operations in Shanghai at the age of 35. We have many success stories of our graduates, and we provide a strong alumni network for our students and graduates to stay in contact. We work closely with industry associations to remain current in culinary trend and participate in the progression of culinary developments. We hear your students often do well in competitions. We have a strong track record of success in international and national culinary competitions and our chef instructors were recently the champions in the 2015 IBA confectionery art. Some of our recent student records are: A gold medal in the 2014 Battle of the Chefs, in Malaysia and Champion of the International Secondary School Catering Challenge 2015 in Tahiti. We believe it helps us to learn from our culinary peers. Has language been a barrier? We are motivated to overcome the language barrier and connect to the world, joining the international community and bringing a global perspective to our teachers and students. KP is the first and only WORDLCHEFS accredited school in Taiwan, and we are pleased to be recognized globally for our achievements. We hope to share our experiences and our success to our global friends and learn from the international community, and our global peers. We encourage students to participate in global events, whereas, 35 students assisted Shangri-La Eastern Plaza Hotel chefs to make Guinness World Records of the world’s longest roll cake/ We invite master chefs from United States, Italy, Japan, and neighboring countries to host events together. When did the school apply for the Worldchefs certification programme? We learnt of the World Association of Chefs Societies in 2010 and visited the Congress in Korea. The vision of Worldchefs and the passion of the chefs we met mirrored the passion we have for culinary education and we wanted to be part of the Worldchefs community. However, overcoming the language barrier was not easy. We spent two year to fully prepare ourselves and translate all our documents, finding ways to translate our PTS curriculum to disclose our program structure in order to apply to the certification program. We formally submitted our application in 2015. Being certified gives assurance to our teachers, parents and students that KP’s development is on the right global track. We hope our students will become globally competitive and have global opportunities in the future. What’s next? To continue to provide world-class education and share our experiences, knowledge, culture and cuisine to the world. We look forward to learn from our global peers, collaborate with culinary educational institutions through this global platform. We will be a proactive member of the global community and join in its cause.

ABOUT KAI PING CULINARY SCHOOL Established in 1948, Kai Ping Culinary School (KP) is a leading private vocational high school, and the only professional culinary school in Taiwan to focus solely on Culinary Education. Students can choose to specialize in one of the four major areas of focus: Chinese cuisine, Western cuisine, Bakery and Pastry, and Food and Beverage. Over the past 25 years, the school has two restaurants, the KP Chefs factory, and the KP Bakery Shop for students to operate on a daily basis, in effort to eliminate industry-educational gaps through learning by doing.

In Mylopotamos, he took charge of the laborious restoration effort to revive the Monastery, giving Mylopotamos a new beginning. In the same time, with absolute respect to the long time tradition and according to the moral of the elders, he revived the vineyards and built a state of the art winery.

Celebrity Chef & Owner Papadaki (Athens, Greece) & Alfa Pie House (Washington, DC)

In February 2015, he was crowned the San Pellegrino UK & Ireland Young chef of the Year at a ceremony in Harrods, London. Representing this region, and mentored by 3 Michelin starred Clare Smyth of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Mark went on to be crowned the San Pellegrino World Young Chef of the Year at a ceremony in Milan, Italy. He won by presenting his signature dish of ‘Celeriac baked in barley and fermented hay, cured and smoked celeriac, toasted hay tea’ to an esteemed jury including Massimo Bottura, Grant Achatz and Joan Rocha i Fontané.

According to Cecchini, there are no “premium” and “lower” cuts of meat, but rather all the parts of the animal are equally as delicious if butchered and cooked in an appropriate way. He puts his philosophy to work in his butcher shop, and two restaurants, all located within 15 meters of the room where he was born.

WORLDCHEFS – PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

TO BE THE PRESIDENT

Who will be the next Worldchefs President? Three chefs have stepped up to run for this position. They share their dreams, ambitions and motivations.

about the fundamental concepts that inform their worldviews, plans, ethics, and life strategies. Of course, your ability to lead is directly tied to your ability to inspire confidence. And to earn the confidence of your team in a world of technology-driven transformational change, you need to learn how to identify the driving forces that are shaping the future. We as leaders are constantly evaluating trends, networking with partners and sponsors via the Country Association Presidents and Continental Directors so the membership know they are being heard and can connect with us. If you become the President, what are your plans for Worldchefs? Our strategy plan is loaded on WorldChefs website www.worldchefs. org, which shows a detailed breakdown for the future. What are the changes you will implement, if any? The first priority will be to address our office to become a more permanent address. Currently, we are only allowed to use the space in Paris, we need to look for a permanent venue which we can truly call our base and move Worldchefs Office to the next level.

JOHN SLOANE – MACAU Why did you decide to run for President of Worldchefs? I was asked by different leaders from around the World if I would stand after I returned to assist President Charles as the current VP. What motivated you? The change in how Worldchefs operates today from when I was involved 5 years ago. There is now more openness along with a keen business mindset to drive strategies. What, in your opinion, makes a good President? In today’s changing environment the President also has to change in style. We don’t change how people behave; we change how people think — and we do it without ever telling them what to think. Let me explain: Leaders change the way people think about the future, change, and opportunity. In essence – the way they think 38 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

We will also reinforce the structure to meet the demands in the growth of Worldchefs so we fulfil our obligations with sponsors and partners and the membership. What are the benefits members of Worldchefs can look forward to? The benefits already exists for members, how we communicate this in today’s digital age will need a review and see how we can connect with the new millennials who will be the future of Worldchefs as we go forward. What is your motto in life and in profession? Believe in yourself, follow your dreams, be humble to learn from others, respect your team. Who are your role models? Thomas Keller, Otto Weibel, Martin Maese, Heinz Winkler, My Mum. What makes you happy? Seeing young chefs rise to become leaders of their own professional kitchens. Sailing, animal welfare, working with my current dynamic team. Seeing my two sons progressing in their careers.

WORLDCHEFS – PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

MILTOS KAROUBAS – GREECE Why did you decide to run for President of Worldchefs? To me, it all started out in order to be given the opportunity to speak in front of the whole Worldchefs community about what appeared to me as unjust and unexplained behavior on behalf of the Worldchefs B.o.D. towards the Hellenic Chef ’s Federation. Then, as I began meeting more and more people of the Worldchefs community and they started opening up to me, I realized that many countries were facing similar problems and were in need of a change. That was the turning point when I decided that someone needed to stand up. Someone needed to propose changes that would turn us back to our roots of being a worldwide chef ’s family with respect to all our country members. Someone should keep in mind that the original dream was to embrace all gastronomies, educate all communities and create events that would benefit our profession. What motivated you? The support of many international culinary friends who asked me to step forward and make changes. My need to do what I consider right and fair and of course the love I have for our profession and my vision of its’ future. What, in your opinion, makes a good President? I believe that to be a good president you have to be modest, a good listener and selfless. You always have to keep in mind the greater good, be able to keep balance between different characters and cultures. Last but not least you need to be communicable and trustworthy 40 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

towards sponsors, because -to be honest- all our communities would seize to exist without the help of the food industry companies. If you become the President, what are your plans for Worldchefs? Worldchefs has developed and grown to a huge community. To have reached this point, obviously many people have contributed and worked very hard. Most certainly, I have no intention of abolishing all this well-oiled machine. But I do believe that, like in every aspect of our life, me and my team have to re-evaluate people in key positions, ensuring that they offer their best and are productive with view of the common good for our society. For such a huge community to work, we have to roll up our sleeves and offer our best. What are the changes you will implement, if any? At this point, my team and myself have sent out letters to all country members, asking for their propositions to add to our program. I will support, adhere and enforce the initiative of president Carroll regarding financial transparency and communication. I plan to build an online voting system to make the country members more involved in serious decisions. This way we will not be bringing actual done deals to “vote” every two years. Furthermore we believe in giving continental directors more initiatives to work upon, in order to promote their continents gastronomy. Last but not least, we would like to make the Russian language an official language of our community. What are the benefits members of Worldchefs can look forward to? More chances to promote their local gastronomy, the opportunity to be more involved and a B.o.D that will be reachable, attentive to all needs and fair to all communities regardless of their financial status. What is your motto in life and in profession? Keep tradition, embrace evolution, and change to the best you can possibly be. There is also a saying in Greece that is one of my main beliefs “Don’t do to others, what you wouldn’t like to be done to you”. Who are your role models? Nelson Mandela has influenced me. I have embraced his beliefs about righteousness and equality. What makes you happy? My family, the love of my wife and the smiling faces of my two daughters. The chance to sit around the table with family, good friends and good colleagues. The opportunity to create and evolve myself.

WORLDCHEFS – PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

THOMAS GUGLER – UAE Why did you decide to run for President of Worldchefs? Many colleagues approached me to run for the Presidency due to the fact that they see the passion and dedication I am putting into my work. After I have grown my region of Africa & Middle East within the last 3 years as a Continental Director by nearly 300 percent, I feel that with the same efforts, enthusiasm and dedication, the Worldchefs regions can be expanded in the same way. It is very important to unite all the chefs globally regardless of the color, the ethnic background and beliefs. I also love cooking and the hospitality industry. What motivated you? I have been motivated by many colleagues and friends to go for this step but the driving factor is my good friend and colleague Billy Gallagher, a legend who contributed so much to Worldchefs throughout his lifetime. I want to follow his intentions, ethics and support towards the entire chefs world and pursue in his way. What, in your opinion, makes a good President? A good president must be there for the members in good and bad times, he must work on behalf of every individual organization, to find supporters from the industry, to work on opportunities for proper educational and certification programs, to support the ethnic regions of the world. He needs to set trends with the Presidium and the Board, to involve each and every president and their concerns and to create synergies. He should encourage a healthy and nutritionally balanced minded society with regards to body mind and soul. 42 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

If you become the President, what are your plans for Worldchefs? In the past years, Worldchefs has been grown rapidly with its ups and downs. Whatever we do, my entire team is committed to lead Worldchefs to a brighter tomorrow. With transparency, we will achieve a global harmony within our organization. We have plans to have better communication about our projects, that range from work school projects, training programs, culinary exchanges, cultural transparence and understanding to open book policy. Professional lifelong learning must continue to be one of the main pillars of our organization and to explore new challenges and opportunities that all the Worldchefs Society can benefit from. We will pledge ongoing support for WCWB (World Chefs Without Border). What are the changes you will implement, if any? Transparency, open forums, expand the reach of our current certification programs and approved schools , seminars for chefs to extend professional training. We will also improve administrative functions and member services. What are the benefits members of Worldchefs can look forward to? Increased learning opportunities, networking possibilities, educational support, communications, showcasing heritage and cultural festivals, competition support and training and participation in global relief programs and humanitarian initiatives. What is your motto in life and in profession? Life is nourishment and every day is a new creation. I like to help others and try to be positive. Remember yesterday, continue and respect what you have learned, always looking forward to tomorrow while living today. Who are your role models? My role models are people which show good human sense, ethics, are friendly and target driven, achievers, people with positive mind and attitude. They have to be humble and charity oriented, sharing their knowledge and experience to friends and colleagues; who are neutral and open-minded in life. What makes you happy? Smiling and laughing people who are easy going, enjoying the time and exchanging positive energy.Encouraging family values, professional ethics, and human integrity.

IN&OUT OF THE KITCHEN THE CHEESE TREND

According to research, 62% of American consumers embrace authenticity. They are more likely to purchase foods that are produced locally, with information on how and whom, plus if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainably produced. Transparency remains a major decision-making factor, especially for millennials, who are willing to pay more for specialty foods. This has motivated cheesemakers to perfect the aging process and return to more traditional ways of aging their cheeses, reviving techniques such as underground aging caves.

MORINGA OLEIFERA, THE MIRACLE TREE Here’s the next rising star in the world of superfoods – the Moringa Oleifera. The tiny leaves of this tree may be the world’s most nutritious green. As climate change makes rainfall increasingly unpredictable for low-income farmers in the developing world, Moringa will become an important tool for helping communities around the world to take control of their own nutrition. Known as “the miracle tree” and also often referred to as the drumstick tree because of the way it looks, this drought-resistant and fast-growing tree is native to Southeast Asia but has spread throughout tropical zones in Africa and South America. The trees grow best in areas where it is dry and sandy. They grow quickly and are not easily killed by a lack of water or poor soil.

All these efforts have resulted in various distinctions.

ONCE UPON A FOIE ... Great stories often begin with “once upon a time,” and the story of foie gras is a veritable epic.

50 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

IN&OUT OF THE KITCHEN – ROUGIE

Through mythology, legend and culture, foie gras and its web - footed originator have marked humanity. One can trace the fattening of geese in Ancient Egypt (4.500 years ago) to a fresco in the funerary chamber of a pharaoh. The fattening principle is then found in various other civilizations in China and around the Mediterranean. The Romans fattened geese with figs, which is even the etymological root for the word “foie,” and made foie gras a gastronomical dish. Greece and Mesopotamia were equally won over by this luxurious delicacy. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the tradition of foie gras perpetuated in Central Europe, among the Jews, for whom goose fat replaced olive and sesame oils which were difficult to find. In France, two opposing regions (South West and Alsace) claim paternity, and the exact era is unknown, although it can be supposed between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. As of the 16th century, after the conquests of the great seafarers, the arrival of corn in the South West of France steadily improved fattening, as well as the quality of the foies. In the 18th century, one finds recipes for foie gras (often whole) engulfed in a meat stuffing and cooked as is, in a “pate,” in Perigord, or cloaked in a pastry, in Alsace. And a rivalry was born! Until that time, only geese were being fat tened. Little by little, in the Southwest, the fattening of ducks came about. Whose idea was that? No one knows for sure. What is known is that ducks were better suited than geese to the fattening process. From more than 20 years, duck foie gras is much more appreciated and represent more than 97% of the French production. The moulard ducks selected for fattening are a cross between a female Peking duck and a Muscovy male. At the beginning of the fattening process, the ducks and geese are 3 months old. The fattening consists of having them ingest, by way of a feeding tube, increasing amounts of food mainly composed of corn, either ground or as kernels. This is done twice daily for ducks and three times a day for geese, the meal lasts 8 minutes maximum. The ingested quantity at each meal augments gradually from about 250 to 500 grams. The fattening period lasts 12 days for the ducks (24 meals to make a duck foie gras) and 15 for the geese (45 meals to make a goose foie gras). The quantity of food required for this process is around 10kg for ducks and 15kg for geese. The French production of foie gras is more than 80% of production worldwide, and takes place mainly in the west.

IN&OUT OF THE KITCHEN – SCOTTISH SEAFOOD

SCOTLAND’S LUXURY SEAFOOD Scotland’s luxury seafood and sumptuous salmon is making a splash in international markets. Scotland’s unspoilt landscapes, rugged but diverse coastline and clean seas and lochs create the perfect natural conditions for the country’s thriving seafood populations. Seafood from Scotland is exclusive and exceptional, full of exciting flavours and endless possibilities.

This also includes measures to help boost economic investment and growth in areas such as marine renewables. Particularly, with ecological and ethical issues increasingly influencing consumer behaviour, Scotland is the preferred choice.

In particular the strong currents, nutrient rich waters and unique marine environment, where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream meet the cold waters of the North Atlantic providing the perfect conditions. This ensures the development of seafood that is of exceptional quality and flavour.

From sea to plate, the industry is passionate about delivering the highest quality product, responsibly caught and carefully handled. It is the perfect versatile choice for the world’s top chefs and discerning customers.

Over 60 species of fish are landed on Scottish shores every day and exported to more than 100 countries globally. Scotland has a flourishing aquaculture sector for salmon, mussels and oysters as well as being a top exporter of cod, crab, haddock, herring, lobster, mackerel, monkfish, whiting, scallops, hake and saithe. It also currently provides two thirds of the world’s langoustines and is the third largest producer of Atlantic salmon. Fishing has been a way of life for Scottish coastal communities since prehistoric settlers first stepped foot on its shorelines. It is inextricably linked to the country’s history, traditions and culture. Today, with over 2,000 boats and 5,000 fishermen, its fishing fleet has evolved to become one of the most experienced, while modern in Europe Scotland’s industry often leads the way in sustainable fishing and farming management across Europe. Alongside standardised international regulations, Scotland has pioneered many new sustainability approaches. It also holds third party Marine Stewardship Accreditation across all key sectors, holding more accredited fisheries than any other European country. The Marine (Scotland) Act is helping to balance competing demands on Scotland’s seas by introducing a duty to protect and enhance the marine environment. 52 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

IN&OUT OF THE KITCHEN – UMAMI

MSG A CONTROVERSIAL SOURCE OF UMAMI

MSG has been used as a food additive around the world since the early 1900s. Most packaged foods contain some type of additives, which are used to make them taste fresh longer, make them look more appealing, increase their availability, or make them easier to prepare.

Brought to you by Nestlé Professional www.nestleprofessional.com

IN&OUT OF THE KITCHEN – UMAMI

MSG & NUMBERS The European Union (EU) developed the E number system to identify additives in 1984. The system is also used in Australia, New Zealand, the Cooperation Council for the Arab States in the Gulf, Israel and on European food products exported to North America. Some consumers are uneasy about foods with E numbers, claiming links to disorders such as hyperactivity, allergies, and food intolerance, but these claims do not have a scientific basis.6 Nevertheless, MSG (E621) is one additive some consumers choose to avoid.

THE FEARS • MSG has been blamed for the so-called Chinese Restaurant Syndrome (CRS), including adverse reactions such as chest pain, flushing, headache, numbness or burning around the mouth. • Some consumers claim to be sensitive to MSG, believing they suffer from the above symptoms after eating foods containing this additive.6 • MSG contains sodium, which has been linked to a possible increase in risk for some cardiovascular diseases.4

THE FACTS • MSG is the sodium salt of a common amino acid, glutamic acid, which is found in proteins, many foods, and in the human body. • Pure MSG has undergone rigorous evaluation by international scientific safety authorities. Both the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have affirmed that MSG is safe when added in normal amounts to food. • None of the many studies carried out over the past 30 years could substantiate a link between MSG intake and adverse reactions like those mentioned above.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU The negative perceptions consumers have about MSG have influenced some businesses to stop using MSG in their foods, especially in the Western world. However, while consumers may be trending away from MSG, they still enjoy the taste of umami. Fortunately, creative chefs have unlimited ways to add this flavor sensation to their foods.

This new addition gives the chocolate its natural gold-inflected color and aromatic licorice notes. To obtain this natural sugar, sugar cane is crushed then pressed to extract the juice. This juice is heated, dried and finally ground down. Because of its naturally high molasses content, dark muscovado sugar has a moist texture and a beautiful brown hue, giving BLOND ORELYS a fresh flavor and delicate licorice aromas.

BLOND ORELYS 35%, A NEW CREATIVE VISTA FOR PROFESSIONALS

BLOND ORELYS 35%, A SWEET NEW GOURMET TOUCH FOR OUR BLOND LINE Dulcey 32%, Valrhona’s first breakthrough in its Blond revolution. In 2012, Valrhona created the first ever blond-colored chocolate, Dulcey 32%, revolutionizing the world of chocolate in the process. During one of his cookery demonstrations, Valrhona’s creative director Frédéric Bau once absent-mindedly left his white chocolate in the bain-marie. A few hours later, he noticed that the chocolate’s white color had turned blond and taken on a delicate scent of toasted shortbread and caramelized milk. It took eight years of research and development to perfect the recipe for Dulcey 32%, whose intensely appetizing flavor of cookies with a hint of sweetness and generous shortbread notes with a pinch of salt have won over chefs and artisans alike. The creation of Dulcey 32% in 2012 opened up a whole new creative field. It offered a radical change of direction with its unique color, gourmet taste and melt-in-the-mouth texture. 56 WORLDCHEFS MAGAZINE

Thanks to its singular aromatic character combining freshness and gourmet flavor, BLOND ORELYS works well with a host of aromas and tastes: Spices: cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, paprika Fruit: banana, Williams pear, lemon zest, kiwi Flavors: cookies, coffee, mint, champagne BLOND ORELYS 35% works beautifully with these flavors and has numerous applications in molded products, bars, mousses, cream mixes, ganaches, ice creams and sorbets.

AROMATIC QUALITIES: Thanks to its muscovado sugar, BLOND ORELYS 35%’s natural color is flecked with glimmers of golden brown, making for an irresistible invitation to sensory discoveries… This chocolate’s sweet gourmet freshness is clear from the very first bite thanks to its classic licorice aromatic notes which are later complemented by hints of shortbread.

IN&OUT OF THE KITCHEN – INTERNATIONAL CHEFS’ DAY

5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INTERNATIONAL CHEFS’ DAY What will chefs around the world be embarking on this International Chefs’ Day? Art On a Plate. International Chefs Day is back again this 20 October 2016! In 2015, we had more than 50 countries participate with more than 100 events reaching 1,300 chefs and 13,000 children. This year, we want to excite kids around the world about the importance of healthy eating, impress upon them the wonders of the culinary profession and teach them good eating habits they can carry with them for life. Here are a few things you need to know. PARTNER: Nestlé Professional, and they will offer the expertise of the Nestlé Healthy Kids programme and partner with chefs associations around the world, to make this possible. We have involved our nutritionist, and creative partners to develop this comprehensive toolkit for you. STATISTICS: Last year, chefs affiliated to over 103 member organisations around the world took part in this special day by hosting workshops and activities for thousands of kids. With your participation, we want to make International Chefs Day 2016 bigger and better than ever. THEME: ‘World on a Plate’. We want to use this opportunity to teach kids about healthy eating by letting them be creative with food. With your help the kids will turn healthy recipes into fun, edible ‘Art on a Plate’ that will not only be fun to make, but healthy to eat too. WHAT TO EXPECT: Kids learn best through creative, fun activities. During these mini-workshops, chefs will help kids create edible artwork with healthy, nutritious ingredients. In this way, we can teach a new generation about good nutrition in a highly interactive, fun and memorable way. PROGRAMME: To link strongly to the WORLDCHEFS ‘World on a Plate’ theme for 2016, the kids can create any artwork that features something special about their own country. We call this edible art ‘A taste of my country’. On the day, the kids will be able to create an edible artwork on a plate that pays tribute to any aspect of the country they love: from its unique landscape, flag, animals, plants or even famous people. The participating Kids can choose any subject that relates to this theme. Please reach out to your local Nestlé Professional team for support in arranging the event in your community.

DUTCH VEAL with worldwide a llure

ALL OVER THE WORLD In recent years, veal has enjoyed growing popularity, as consumers increasingly recognise and appreciate its outstanding qualities. This delicious, tender and lean meat works wonderfully in all kinds of dishes and with all kinds of flavours. ORIGIN IN DAIRY FARMING In fact veal is a by-product of dairy farming. After all, a cow will only produce milk if it gives birth to a calf every year. Approximately around one third of the calves born are used by dairy farmers to replace or supplement their livestock, and the other animals become available for meat production. INDISPUTABLE QUALITY The VanDrie Group is the global market leader in veal. It exports to over 60 countries. Such a position does not come without duties and responsibilities. After all, the ever critical consumers must be able to have blind faith that their veal is produced in a socially responsible and safe manner. RESPECT FOR PEOPLE AND ANIMALS The VanDrie Group can make these guarantees thanks to its integrated chain production system - a comprehensive quality system that safeguards food safety and animal welfare. This quality assurance policy ensures that even the strictest requirements of the most demanding countries are met. BETER LEVEN SEAL OF APPROVAL The veal supplied by the VanDrie Group bears the one-star Beter Leven (Better Life) seal of approval awarded by the Dutch Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The criteria include calves being fed extra fibre-rich roughage to encourage natural remuneration behaviour, a soft area for each calf to lie, and animal-friendly transport.
