Hello guys!!!!

Welcome back to another blog.

Today's blog is going to be a little bit special as it is international Chef's Day, and I have brought you some of the world's finest chefs and their star recipes right here in this blog. 

International Chef's Day is celebrated every year on 20th of October. It is celebrated to pass down the knowledge and skills about different recipes from one generation to another. 

On this particular day, there are many events held globally to encourage chefs to participate as it boosts their morale and enthusiasm towards their work culture. 

Events like culinary competition is the main hightlight of chef's day, other miscellaneous events like educational programs are held, to help students to encourage themselves to participate in cooking competition and enroll if interested also there are many networking opportunities in this event as there are chefs and management teams who participate from all around the world and look up for tie ups and business expansion in other countries or hire chefs to their existing management. Events like this promotes the career of chef's on many accounts. 

One of the most important facet of International Chefs Day is to accentuate the importance of cooking and eating healthy foods among every age group of people.

How It Started?

London born, Bill Gallagher, was an esteemed chef and businessman who took up a job of Executive sous chef in South Africa. Throughout his chef career he achieved many positions and bought a revolutionary movement in the world of food industry in South Africa.

In the year 2004, as Bill was the president of World Association Of Chefs Societies he created the worldwide event of International Chef's Day to honour and celebrate the nobility of culinary profession around the world. 

As of now, Worldchefs has partnered with Nestlè Professional to teach kids around the globe about the importance of healthy eating by hosting fun-filled workshops worldwide.

Know The Chefs Role In The Kitchen: 

A chef's job is not that easy, he or she is the one who has to supervise the kitchen on daily basis, look after his head cooks and to look if the food is cooked and served on time. A chef's responsibility is not only to better the existing recipes but to create more innovative recipes with all the knowledge he or she holds about cooking.

Let's us now see, how different kinds of chefs work in an organised kitchen:

1. Executive Chefs: They do very little cooking and mostly overlooks and manages not only one but number of restaurants in a day.

2. Head Chef: It's job is to manage the kitchen staff and have control over the daily operations that happens in the kitchen.

3. Sous Chef: Second in command to head chef.

4. Chef de Partie: It's job is to look after a specific part in the kitchen.

5. Commis Chef: Every new intern or junior member of the kitchen staff works under chef de partie.

6. Kitchen Porter: Someone who has basic skills of peeling, chopping and cutting of vegetables in the kitchen.

7. Dishwasher: To wash up all utensils, cutleries and dishes.

No matter what the role a chef plays in the kitchen their main motive is to make new innovative dishes they treat their profession as an art and science to create something new and exciting dishes by combining numerous elements to have the best taste and look to their creative recipe.
