Each year, on the 20th of October, members of the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) celebrate International Chefs Day,

On this day, chefs around the world celebrate their profession and take the opportunity to not only promote the organization (WACS) but also goodwill and friendship amongst each other, as well as taking the time to help people who are less fortunate.

It is also a day on which to assist the young chefs but, most importantly, the day when we recognize the very important role that chefs play in our societies, for we have a great responsibility not only to feed, but also to give nourishment.

Chefs have the responsibility to lead the way when it comes to the use of ingredients in a sensible and responsible manner. Since the International Chef’s Day inauguration in 2004, many events have taken place around the world to benefit charitable organizations and disadvantaged communities; this has highlighted that chefs are caring people and has worked to improve their image.

For over 80 years, members of the World Association of Chefs have committed themselves to dedicating 20 October as a day where they will wear their chef uniforms and unanimously contribute to the community.
