International Chefs Day 20 October 2020 Healthy Food For the Future (Please view in slide show)
Welcome Note
Welcome Note Welcome to International Chefs Day, 20 October 2020. International Chefs Day offers you a unique opportunity to make a difference in your local community by making healthy eating fun and exciting for kids. The World Association of Chefs Societies has committed to using International Chefs Day to educate kids around the world about the importance of healthy eating. In doing so, they hope to expose kids to the culinary profession and teach them good eating habits that they can carry with them for life. Nestlé Professional is proud to offer the expertise of the Nestlé for Healthier Kids programme and partner with chefs’ associations around the world to make this possible.
Getting Started As always, we are encouraging sustainability and safety both in and out of the kitchen. With this in mind, we created a toolkit that’s practical in 2020. We hope that you can use this PowerPoint as you see fit, to have fun with your groups of budding young chefs and grow their passion for food. You may be running your workshops virtually or in small groups at a venue; the choice is yours. The idea is to excite our next generation of young home cooks with some engaging games, facts and trivia about this year’s awesome star vegetables. Work through the quizzes and activities, learn about the vegetables and their nutritional facts in small groups, or try setting up a video call for the aspiring chefs. Why not make a WhatsApp group keep in touch! We have recipe ideas that feature our star veggies, the usual downloadable assets and tips on taking photographs. There are printable placemats and certificates for all those that take part. Enjoy planning your event and don’t hesitate to ask us any questions you may have on the Nestlé Professional LinkedIn and Facebook pages. And most importantly, have a blast cooking delicious meals!
The Theme
International Chefs Day 2020 As the saying goes: “You are what you eat”, but what we eat not only affects us, it also has massive consequences for our planet. In order to ensure a healthy planet for future generations, it is vital that we start learning about the impact the production, and consumption, of food actually has on the environment. It is for this reason that International Chefs Day this year is focused around sustainability and the environment. We want to use this opportunity to teach kids about healthy eating and about food and the environment.
The Problem Our planet’s climate is changing which has an affect on all aspects of our lives. Climate change has resulted in warmer temperatures which has a huge impact on our environment. This affects us, our food sources and the wild life. It also affects our health as well as the health of the planet.
The Solution But it isn’t all doom and gloom. By eating more sustainable foods we can help the planet recover. Sustainable foods are often times more economically or energy efficient. By eating more delicious food that is healthy for us and our planet, we can do our part to save our future, as individuals and as communities.
