70 years ago this year, on April 21, 1954 exactly, the Disciples Escoffier International association was born.

Under the impetus of Jean Ducroux, President of the Fraternelle des Cuisiniers, Pierre Sauvan, chef, formalized the creation of our association in the prefecture of Nice.

From January 1, 2024, the festivities to celebrate 70 years of promoting gastronomy and the work of Master Auguste Escoffier must be in full swing!

Such a beautiful age must of course be celebrated as it should be!

I hope that all the delegations will be united to celebrate OUR anniversary together, and to demonstrate what we represent 70 years later and that we will still be there in the next 70 years.

I suggest you to organize our anniversary around 5 highlights:

 Following the example of Galettes des Chefs Galettes du Cœur set up by Paris more than a decade ago, the concept is to produce and resell to the public with a purely charitable objective. The proceeds must be donated to a good cause, an association of your choice.

This model is becoming more and more important every year.

We have to organize these mainstream sales at the beginning of the year, with a charitable objective.

A festive party, all white dressed, where music, friendship and sharing will be the key words.

This evening is intended to be a moment of relaxation and a meeting point, without the usual protocol of gala dinners or induction chapters.

You will all know how to gather your disciples around a picnic, buffet, atmospheres or exceptional places.

To celebrate the master's birthday and that of the association which has been paying tribute to him for 70 years!

We will also organize our international congress in Paris in November and we will be able to celebrate our anniversary together in a prestigious site.
