C.E.O Address

Welcome

We the Board of Directors of the Panel of Chefs of Ireland would like to welcome you to our site. We hope that you will find something of interest to you, and that you will visit us again.
Myles Moody CEO. Panel of Chefs of Ireland.

• The main objective of the Panel of Chefs Ireland is to promote the development of all aspects of professional cookery, and consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the Honorary President, the National Secretary and National Treasurer, and the National Membership Officer together with the Chairman of each regional branch. The Board of directors represent all members on a National and International basis and conducts the business of the Panel of chefs.
  
  

• As part of the constitution of the Panel of Chefs, meetings are held on a monthly basis, in different Hotels and Restaurants in the region. These meetings always contain items of interest to all members like Lectures, Demonstrations, Discussions or Food Topics.
  
  

• All members are encouraged to join in with opinions and ideas that will help the running of their particular branch. Sub-committees are set up to organise special events, such as cooking demonstrations and fund raising events.
  
  

• The Panel hosted the 2004 World congress of the World Association of Cooks Societies. Over one thousand chefs from all over the world attended this week - long event in Dublin.
  
  

• As mentioned earlier the Panels main objective is to promote all aspects of professional cookery and therefore encourage all members to participate in cooking competitions, but this is by no means compulsory. Cooking competitions are of enormous benefit in affording Chefs the opportunity to demonstrating their many talents and skills. At these competitions you will also meet new friends and chefs from other parts of the country and abroad. You have the opportunity to exchange new ideas and techniques and what could be more satisfying than going home with maybe a certificate or medal.
  
  

• Being a member of the Panel of Chefs of Ireland is not all work and no play, with events being organised on a regional and National basis, to not only raise the funds but to provide a social outlet for all our members. Anything from golf outings, mushroom hunts, visit to food producers, full day excursions and Christmas parties are on the social calendar.
