20 octombrie, Ziua Internațională a Bucătarilor. De la ingredient la farfurie: povestea din spatele mâncării

International Chefs Day, celebrated on October 20, emphasizes the journey of food from ingredient to plate. This year's theme, "Food Explorers," encourages chefs and food enthusiasts to explore the origins and stories behind ingredients. Launched in 2004 by Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher, the day aims to recognize the culinary profession and educate future generations about responsible cooking. Activities include teaching children about seasonal produce and reducing food waste. The campaign highlights the evolving role of chefs as educators, promoting local and seasonal ingredients while preserving culinary traditions. Celebrating at home can involve cooking simple recipes with children and understanding ingredient origins.
