Upfield lanka celebrates international chef’s day

Upfield, the largest plant-based company and mothercompany for the brands Astra, Flora and Meadowland in Sri Lanka, partnered and sponsored International Chef’s Day 2022 celebrations in Sri Lank together with the Chef’s Guild of Sri Lanka. This event marks the first celebration of International Chef’s Day in two years by the Chef’s Guild due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

In celebration of International Chef’s Day, Upfield Lanka and the Chef’s Guild of Sri Lanka gathered culinary professionals across the country to reconnect and share the knowledge gained during the last two years. The Chef’s Guild of Sri Lanka is the only association in the country that is recognized by the World’s Chef Association, the leading global network of chef’s associations in the world and encompasses the largest number of chefs in Sri Lanka at every star-level hotel chains, resorts, and restaurants.

At this year’s International Chef’s Day celebration, a professional book written by the Chef’s Guild of Sri Lanka was launched by the experts of the profession as a guidebook for beginners and existing chefs on how they can further upgrade their skills. The Chef’s Guild also emphasized the ethos and duty of the profession towards sustainability and the environment and their role in considering the impact that production, creation, and consumption of food has on the environment.

In light of this theme, Upfield’s vision of ‘A better Plant-based Future’ was shared among the professional chef community of Sri Lanka, highlighting how plant-based foods can make a difference, discussing the emerging trends in the food and culinary industry, and the role of plant-based food in supporting the chefs strive to create excellent food.

Through Upfield (world’s largest plant-based consumer products company) partnership with the Chef’s Guild of Sri Lanka, Upfield Lanka looks forward to building and championing a sustainable plant-based food system together.
