What we do is important! As chefs and chef educators we know the responsibility we have for preparing and presenting beautiful, delicious food, but do we fully realize the impact food has on the health and wellbeing of our communities? What happens in restaurants with food will eventually trickle down to the home. Chefs and cooks can set the tone for the food that we eat and how it is prepared. Proper nutrition need not infer that deliciousness is sacrificed. It is part of our responsibility to teach and train the next generation of professional cooks to understand, embrace, and practice good nutrition without sacrifice. We hold the key to changing habits.
