Egyptian Chefs Association

Category: Chef Associations

The Egyptian Chefs Association was formed in 1997 under the umbrella of WACS (World Association of Chefs Societies). It’s aim is to improve the quality and standards of members of the culinary profession in Egypt. The Egyptian Chefs Association does this by facilitating an exchange of knowledge through participation in events and competitions throughout Egypt. The Egyptian Chefs Associations publishes a magazine called “Chef’s  Corner” in both Arabic and English, organizes two national chef’s competitions per year, produces training videos, organizes fairs and seminars, develops merchandise and a library, and provides recruitment assistance, among other things. The homepage of the Association has up-to-date news about competition winners and other news from around the world. There is also an e-newsletter called “E-ECA” and a place to post questions to “Ask A Chef.“ Also on the website for the Egyptian Chefs Association are articles from the “Chef’s Corner” archives, cooking quizzes (with prizes), and information about joining. There is a listing of upcoming events, training manuals on a variety of subjects for purchase, information about events that Egyptian chefs have won and upcoming competitions. The Egyptian Chefs Association also provides access to online recipe sources, a job opportunities site, and “surfing chefs” which includes links to a number of interesting and useful culinary sites. Links to other organizations include one to WACS and to information about U.S. agricultural exports.
