Founded in Canada in 2002 by chef Jean-François Archambault, La Tablée des Chefs’ mission is to combat food insecurity and food waste, as well as to educate young people in the culinary arts. The association, which combines gastronomy and solidarity, has spread to Mexico and especially France, under the direction of Vincent Brassart and the patronage of chef Guillaume Gomez. Mobilizing chefs and professionals around committed and innovative initiatives, the association’s actions are divided into two parts:
- Feeding: Thanks to programs such as food recovery and Cuisines Solidaires, La Tablée mobilizes chefs and students from catering schools to prepare and distribute meals to food aid associations, helping to combat precariousness.
- Education: Les Brigades Culinaires and Cuisine Ton Avenir (Cook your future) are workshops for young people aged 11 to 18, led by chefs, to learn how to cook healthily and economically. The aim is to educate future generations, some of whom are experiencing social difficulties, about healthy, sustainable eating and to help them achieve self-sufficiency in food.
