Created by Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher in 2004, International Chefs Day celebrates the chef profession. There is a specific focus on children: Chefs use the day to inspire and educate the next generation of chefs. They focus on the joys of cooking, the importance of sustainability, and healthy eating. The goal is for the impact to go beyond just one day, for a lasting impression to take hold, and to foster a lifetime of love of cooking, sustainability, and nutrition.

Worldchefs, where Bill Gallagher was a "Life Honorary President," organizes the day. Each year there is a theme. Partnering with Nestlé Professional, they have provided a toolkit — with instructions, materials, recipes, and social media tips — and other information on how to successfully organize workshops and events.
