Much More Than A Love Of Food And Wine
Much More Than a Love of Food and Wine — The Values Behind the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs
What connects a chef in Paris, a sommelier in Sweden, and a gastronomy enthusiast in Israel?
The answer goes far beyond a shared appreciation of fine food and wine.
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is an international association bringing together professionals from the culinary, wine, and hospitality industries with passionate gastronomy enthusiasts, united by a common set of values.
Behind the Chaîne’s centuries-old tradition stand six guiding principles that give meaning to its activities around the world.
- Gastronomy and the Art of the Table - Promoting culinary and wine culture, deepening our understanding of the art of cooking and the appreciation of fine food, and celebrating dining as a cultural and social experience — extending far beyond what is served on the plate.
- Excellence and Professionalism - Encouraging the highest standards in hospitality, food, and beverages, with profound respect for the professionals whose expertise, dedication, and constant pursuit of quality make exceptional experiences possible.
- Education, Training, and Knowledge Sharing - Sharing professional knowledge and experience, organizing educational activities, and developing opportunities for professional training. Knowledge accumulated over generations finds its greatest value when it is passed on to others.
- Nurturing the Next Generation - Supporting young talent through professional competitions, scholarships, educational opportunities, and opening doors to careers and advancement in the culinary and hospitality industries. The Chaîne’s two international competitions — Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs and Jeunes Sommeliers, the latter having taken place in Sweden last week — are wonderful examples of this commitment.
- Preserving Heritage and Tradition - Keeping alive the legacy of the historic guild of roasters, whose roots trace back to Paris in 1248, while carrying its values into the modern world of gastronomy. A connection between past and future, tradition and innovation.
- Social Responsibility and Giving Back - Encouraging charitable initiatives, sponsorships, and donations to worthy causes, while supporting activities that help people in need, including the sick, vulnerable children, and disadvantaged communities. We believe that the power of bringing people together around a table can also become a force for good.
Six principles. One tradition. One international community.
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is much more than an association celebrating the pleasures of fine food and wine. It is a community that brings people together, promotes excellence, preserves heritage, nurtures future generations, and strives to make a positive contribution to society.
These are the values that unite Chaîne members around the world — and all of us here in Israel
