Mark Your Calendars: International Chefs Day is October 20th!

Nestlé Professional has once again partnered with Worldchefs, the World Association of Chefs Societies, to celebrate International Chefs Day. This initiative aims to inspire chefs worldwide to host engaging and interactive workshops that educate children about the importance of healthy eating and encourage them to adopt healthy eating habits.

Every year on October 20th, chefs around the world unite to celebrate our profession and share our passion with the next generation. Since its founding in 2004 by the late Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher, International Chefs Day has stood as a moment to give back, educate, and inspire.

This year, Worldchefs and Nestlé Professional are proud to introduce the theme Food Explorers

The campaign invites children to embark on a culinary adventure, discovering where food comes from, learning to prepare simple, healthy dishes, and developing curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for healthy eating and sustainable practices.

Join thousands of chefs worldwide in hosting engaging workshops, sharing knowledge, and creating memorable experiences for children in your community. 

From hands-on cooking sessions to garden visits, a fun nutrition activity, or simply moments of food-filled fun, every activity makes a difference. With your guidance, children can explore the joys of cooking, the value of sustainability, and the importance of healthy eating.

That's why our focus for International Chefs Day continues to center on sustainability, environmental stewardship, cultivating gardens, and promoting healthy eating habits.
