Message from your President
Happy International Chefs Day - October 20
Did you know...
International Chefs Day was inaugurated in 2004. 20 October has been marked as a special
occasion by culinarians to salute the profession and create awareness of chefs
who have set remarkable industry standards for the art of cooking. The
commemorative day was initiated by the World Association of Cooks Societies
(WACS), which counts over eight million chefs from all over the world as
members.
October Monthly Meeting
It was a packed dining room, the appetizers were delicious
and our members and their guest had a great time. They tour the winery and
tasted the fine wine from the Januik/Novelty Hill Winery in Woodinville. Chef Dan Koommoo and his crew prepared the dinner. Everyone was
impressed with the preparation of the food and the great service. Thank you
Chef Dan and your staff for all your hard work, it was enjoyed by all.
