Fun Holiday – Culinarians Day

Culinarians are experts in the art and science of cooking and serving food. They can be chefs, cooks, home cooks, bakers, and anyone else who is involved in the process of preparing and serving meals. Professional culinarians tend to work in restaurants and commercial kitchens.

While the origins of Culinarians Day are unknown, we can all safely assume that the holiday was invented as a way to thank all the culinarians who make our experience of eating out fun and special.

How to Celebrate?

• If you personally know a chef or a cook, send them a thank you note and a thoughtful gift.
• Make a special dinner for the person who cooks for you every day.
• Go out to eat and thank the chef and the cooks for laying out a good meal for you.
