National Culinarians Day 
Today we honor culinarians! They are cooks or chefs who are experts in cooking, preparing, presenting, and serving food. Today we celebrate and thank them for the many ways they use food to satisfy us!
While professional culinarians tend to work in restaurants or commercial kitchens, the culinary arts have a much humbler beginning. It is believed that the roots of culinary arts sprouted when someone either threw a piece of meat on a fire or found an animal that had been cooked by a forest fire. From there, advancements in agriculture, the expansion of culinary techniques, the domestication of livestock, and the introduction of earthenware and stoneware all helped with culinary development.
Chefs were first employed by kings, aristocrats, and priests. In contrast, the lower classes cooked for their own families. The distinct approaches to cooking by different classes helped nurture the development of many different types of cuisine. Jean Anthelme had a great hand in getting culinary arts started in Europe. Others expanded on his work through the study of food science and gastronomy. In Asia, a similar path of study and advancement took place.
Culinary arts in the Western world began expanding at the end of the Renaissance. There was a shift from chefs working exclusively for nobility, to them also working in inns and hotels. It was at this time that the studying of culinary arts as its own field also began. At first, studying happened by apprenticeship, with students accompanying professional cooks. In 1879, Boston Cooking School opened, becoming the first cooking school to open in the United States. Today there are thousands of culinary arts schools around the world, and many colleges and universities offer culinary arts degrees as well.
Cooks and chefs are both involved in the culinary arts. Although a cook is sometimes referred to as a chef, this is not necessarily the correct term for them in the culinary world. Cooks prepare food, help chefs, and manage food stations. They may have names related to the food stations they work at, such as broiler cook, fry cook, and sauce cook. In the United States, one doesn't need to achieve a certain set of accomplishments to become a cook. Some cooks study for two to four years, learning sanitation, food safety, hospitality, and advanced cooking. Others participate in culinary apprenticeships that last about a year, where they receive on-the-job training.
A chef is a type of trained and professional cook. They have knowledge of food science, nutrition, diet, and of preparing and presenting meals. Although they are knowledgeable in all types of food preparation, they often focus on a particular cuisine. They may be formally trained at an institution, or they may learn their craft by being an apprentice of an experienced chef. They work in restaurants, but also in delicatessens, as well as in somewhat large institutions such as hotels and hospitals. They wear a toque blanche hat, neckerchief, double-breasted jacket, and an apron.
There are different types of chefs, and there is a system called a kitchen brigade by which the hierarchy of chefs are classified. The chef de cuisine is sometimes also known as an executive chef, master chef, or head chef. They are in charge of the kitchen and may be in charge of the menu, managing the kitchen staff, and ordering inventory, among other things. The sous-chef is second-in-command and fulfills various duties to keep the kitchen running smoothly. They may fill in for the chef de cuisine, and also may help the chef-de-parties when needed. A chef-de-partie is known as a line cook or station chef. They take care of a specific area of production. They may have their own hierarchy, such as "first cook," "second cook," and so forth. If they work in a large kitchen, they may have assistants; range chefs may work under them as well. There are many other titles in the brigade system. No matter if someone is a cook or one of the many kinds of chefs, today we celebrate them for all the culinary joy they bring us!
How to Observe Culinarians Day
Celebrate the day by presenting a cook or chef with a gift or simply some words of thanks. You could do this for a culinarian you know, or for one at a restaurant or at another place that you eat today. You could even prepare a meal for a chef or cook today, to give them a little break from their everyday work. If someone usually cooks meals for you at your home, you could also consider cooking for them today.
If you are a chef or cook, or are looking to become one, you could become involved with the American Culinary Federation. You could also enroll in a culinary arts program or look into how to become an apprentice. This is also a good day to watch famous television chefs, or to read a book on professional cooking and culinary arts, or a book recommended by the American Culinary Federation. You could also visit the Culinary Arts Museum or another museum related to food.

Recipe Roundup in Review
In years past, I posted a two-month series of recipes suitable for the autumn season, which everyone seemed to enjoy very much. I’ve been too busy this year to make up a new queue, so I thought I’d compile a big long list of links for anyone who’s looking for recipe ideas this fall.
Update: I’ve posted more recipes since the original roundup and I’ve added those additional links to the list below. I’ve also done my best to mark which ones are vegetarian (🌿) or could be easily altered to be so. (Some could also be altered for a vegan diet using egg, milk, or butter substitutes.) Recipes which may include alcohol as an ingredient are also marked (🍷).
Some are fall-themed, others are for more wintry occasions. But all are designed to make the most of the season and keep our hearts and bellies full as we face the coming cold. Enjoy!

National Salmon Day
National Salmon Day is celebrated every year on October 8, as proposed by Chicken of the Sea. Did you know that salmon is the second most popular seafood consumed by Americans? The pink fish now has its own annual day of celebration. The holiday is observed as a reminder of the health benefits that wild and packaged salmon provide. It is recommended to eat fatty fish such as salmon twice a week due to the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. So, are you ready to exploit this pink fish and satisfy your fish craving?
History of National Salmon Day
National Salmon Day was first celebrated on October 8, 2015, after Chicken of the Sea recommended the holiday. They then accepted a City of San Diego proclamation designating the day as National Salmon Day. The City of Chicago and Cook County, Illinois, also proclaimed October 8 as National Salmon Day in honor of the strong legacy of salmon fishing on Lake Michigan. The holiday is dedicated to celebrating the health, taste, convenience, and diverse recipe benefits of salmon. And, it is observed in honor of wild and packaged pink fish.
Chicken of the Sea, founded in 1914, is a packager and provider of seafood. They not only offer a product line of seafood but also offer recipes to inspire seafood lovers. In 1984, the company introduced skinless and boneless salmon to encourage wider public adoption of the fish as a healthy ‘new’ source of protein. In 2014, the company introduced a line of flavored salmon pouches. Chicken of the Sea has been committed to preserving seafood sustainability and is a co-founding member of the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation.
How often do you eat fatty fish per week? Hopefully, twice a week, just as recommended by American Heart Association. Why? Fatty fish such as salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, and research has shown that they can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. Moreover, research shows that omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent, delay, and diminish Alzheimer’s disease. Awesome. So, have you got your recipes and prepared your salmon? Because National Salmon Day is the day to make and enjoy the delicious healthy food of your favorite fatty fish.

National Salmon Day FAQs
How do know if salmon is cooked?
Gently press down on the top of the fillet with a fork or your finger, and if the flesh of the salmon separates easily along the white lines that run across the fillet (strips of fish fat), then it’s finished cooking.
Should you bake or fry salmon?
Baking salmon is the healthier option over pan-frying because it doesn’t add any extra fat or calories to the fish, as long as you cook it with simple seasonings.
What happens if I eat undercooked salmon?
If you eat raw or undercooked salmon, you risk being infected with bacteria and worm-like parasites.

5 Facts About Canned Salmon You Need To Know
New England started it
It has various nutritional advantages
It is versatile
It is not to eat daily
It is high in sodium
In 1840, New England first began canning salmon.
Canned salmon has a variety of nutritional benefits such as omega-3s, protein, vitamin D, and calcium.
Canned salmon is a quick and inexpensive choice that provides the same excellent health benefits as fresh fish.
Despite the health benefits, you can’t eat it every day, because it will increase the possibility of rising mercury levels in the blood.
Canned salmon is incredibly high in sodium, and if you consume it every day, it can increase the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.
Why We Love National Salmon Day
Salmon has many health benefits
It is delicious and versatile
It can lower the risk of heart disease
The reason for the celebration of National Salmon Day is to be a reminder of the health benefits of salmon. More people need to know about this.
Sure, the reason salmon becomes the second most popular seafood consumed by Americans is because it’s delicious. Besides, there are several ways to enjoy it. We can roast it, pan-fry it, broil it, or grill it.
The heart is our vital organ. Knowing that consuming salmon can lower our risk of heart disease is such a relief.

World Fisheries Day
World Fisheries Day, celebrated on November 21, is dedicated to highlighting the critical importance of healthy ocean ecosystems and to ensure sustainable stocks of fisheries in the world. Fishing communities celebrate this day through rallies, workshops, public meetings, cultural dramas, exhibitions, and music shows.  Fisher folks in India, where it is widely celebrated, also demonstrate the importance of maintaining the fisheries of the world along with highlighting the problems like overfishing and mechanization. World Fisheries Day also explores finding solutions to the increasingly interconnected problems that the world is facing to follow sustainable models of our ocean ecosystems.
History of World Fisheries Day
World Fisheries Day, which is followed in India on November 21, highlights the fact that fisheries are an important sector in the country. It provides employment to millions of people, as well as contributing to the food security of India.
The fishery resources in India are mainly composed of inland and marine. Inland fisheries are mainly composed of major rivers and their tributaries, ponds, reservoirs, lakes, canals, and so forth. World Fisheries Day is celebrated worldwide by the fishing communities to recognize the vast and sometimes underappreciated food source for millions of humans.
In 2019, Andhra Pradesh’s government launched a number of welfare schemes for fishermen on the occasion of World Fisheries Day. State Fisheries Minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana said on the occasion, “The YSRCP government has increased compensation to fishermen, for the mandatory ban period of 45 days, from Rs 4,000 to Rs 10,000.” The state government has also increased the subsidy on diesel for mechanized or non-mechanized boats. In case of death of fisherman compensation of 10 lakh will be given within two months.
Indian fisheries and aquaculture is an important sector of food production providing nutritional security, besides livelihood support and gainful employment to more than 14 million people, and contributing to agricultural exports. With diverse resources ranging from deep seas to lakes in the mountains and more than 10 percent of the global biodiversity in terms of fish and shellfish species, the country has shown continuous and sustained increments in fish production since independence in 1947.
The total fish production during 2017-18 was estimated to be 12.60 million metric tonnes, of which nearly 65 percent is from the inland sector and about 50 percent of the total production is from culture fisheries, which constitutes about 6.3 percent of the global fish production. More than 50 different types of fish and shellfish products are being exported to 75 countries around the world. Fish and fish products have presently emerged as the largest group in agricultural exports from India. On World Fisheries Day, make sure to support fisheries and new sustainable ways to make our ocean ecosystems cleaner.
World Fisheries Day timeline
2019 Supporting Indian fisheries
Andhra Pradesh's government launches a number of welfare schemes for fishermen on the occasion of World Fisheries Day, including the death of fisherman compensation and a subsidy increase on diesel for mechanized or unmechanized boats.
2016 Fish production at an all-time high
Total fish production reaches an all-time high of 171 million tonnes, of which 88 percent was utilized for direct human consumption, thanks to relatively stable capture fisheries production, reduced wastage, and continued aquaculture growth.
2014 The importance of sustainable fisheries
A report by Prince Charles' International Sustainability Unit is released, estimating global fisheries were adding $270 billion a year to global GDP, but by full implementation of sustainable fishing, that figure could rise by as much as $50 billion.
1961 Double-growth of fish consumption
Since this year, the annual global growth in fish consumption has been twice as high as population growth, furthermore, while the annual growth of aquaculture has declined in recent years, significant double-digit growth is still recorded in continents like Africa and Asia.
World Fisheries Day FAQs
Why is World Fisheries Day celebrated?
A number of traditional societies and communities rally around the occupation of fishing. World Fisheries Day celebrations serve as an important reminder that we must focus on changing the way the world manages global fisheries to ensure sustainable stocks and healthy ecosystems.
What is the largest fishery in the world?
Anchovy fishing is the largest fishery in the world.
What is another name for fishery?
There are around 12 synonyms, antonyms, idiomatic expressions, and related words for fishery, such as spawning place, fish hatchery, fishing banks, fishtrap, weir, fish cannery, aquarium, tank, cannery, hatchery and piscary.
How To Celebrate World Fisheries Day
Attend a fishery sustainability workshop
Get involved with the fisherfolk community
Take care of your environment
Fisheries are a vital part of our ecosystem and food resources across the globe. On World Fisheries Day, consider signing up for an online workshop to learn about sustainable methods to keep our ocean ecosystems alive and productive. There are various events across the globe that celebrate this day. If you can’t find an event near you, organize a workshop with like-minded friends and family.
Fishermen contribute greatly to resourcing fish for food and should be supported in any way they can be, especially in developing nations. Consider fundraising for their charity events, whether they hold a rally or public meeting, to increase awareness of fisheries around the world and what they do every day. You are sure to learn a lot more about where your fish comes from and how it can be sustained in a better manner.
The oceans and fisheries become cleaner and more sustainable when our environment is less filled with rubbish. This includes taking care of rivers, dams, and the sea as these are important habitats for fish and aquatic organisms. Next time you go camping, hiking, or the beach, be sure to pick up any rubbish you see along the way. Try to educate people as well about the devastating impact of rubbish and to reduce the amount of plastic waste.
5 Important Fact About World Fisheries Day
Low-income work
Where your fish comes from
Fish and protein
Humans consume a lot of fish
When in Africa
65 percent of the reported catch from inland fisheries is from low-income food-deficit countries.
Estimates vary, but from around 30 million to over 60 million people in the developing world are involved in inland fisheries — it is thought that about 50 percent are women.
More than 25 percent of the world’s dietary protein is provided by fish.
The human population consumes over 100 million tons of fish annually.
Over 200 million of Africa’s 1 billion people regularly consume fish and nearly half of this comes from inland fisheries.
Why World Fisheries Day Is Important
It’s a reminder of environmental sustainability
It supports fishermen and women
It helps us learn more about the environment
A recent United Nations study reported that more than two-thirds of the world's fisheries have been overfished or are fully harvested and more than one third are in a state of decline because of factors such as the loss of essential fish habitats, pollution, and global warming. World Fisheries Day is an important reminder to inform ourselves and those around us of climate change and pollution, in order to keep our fisheries clean and productive.
Fish forms an important part of the diets of people around the world, particularly those that live near rivers, coasts, and other water bodies. A number of traditional societies and communities are rallied around the occupation of fishing, and around 50 percent of them are women. It’s time to increase awareness about low-income fishermen and women who work tirelessly in fisheries, especially in developing countries. Consider giving in charity or post information and statistics on social media.
Countries such as India contribute greatly to the sourcing of fish. Indian fisheries and aquaculture is an important sector of food production providing nutritional security, besides livelihood support and gainful employment to more than 14 million people, and contributing to agricultural exports. More than 50 different types of fish and shellfish products are being exported to 75 countries around the world. Fish and fish products have presently emerged as the largest group in agricultural exports from India. World Fisheries Day is a great time to learn more about where our fish comes from and the environment of fisheries.

Wild Foods Day
Wild Foods Day is celebrated every year on October 28. It is a holiday dedicated to wildflowers, fruits, and veggies. Humans have consumed plants and gathered food from the wild for thousands of years. However, these wild foods are now increasingly appearing on menus in gourmet restaurants and raw food restaurants due to them being trendy. In addition, wild foods are free of preservatives and pesticides, and consuming them contributes to an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
History of Wild Foods Day
Wild foods are believed to have been in existence for over 40 million years. Wild food, generally, can be any edible plant that grows naturally without human intervention or any animal taken from its native environment for human use. It is easy to observe that the Earth is brimming with wild foods. Animals such as deer, elk, goose, turkey, and others are considered wild in the United States. In addition, various fruits and vegetables grow wild in many parts of the nation. Berry bushes of many sorts offer tasty fruits, and mushrooms cover the woodland floor. According to experts, there are approximately 2,000 edible and medicinal mushroom types worldwide. Nuts, herbs, tree fruits, and cactus pads are among more foods that grow independently, even in cities.
In many cases, wild foods are more nutritious than their farmed counterparts. This is most likely due to their natural survival mechanisms. For example, some plants grow thorns or emit an unpleasant odor to prevent predators, while others produce bitter-tasting chemical compounds. These substances are known as phytochemicals, and research reveals that these can offer us health benefits if consumed regularly.
Wild Foods Day started being mentioned regularly in the print media around 1974. Euell Gibbons, a wild food enthusiast, who became a minor media celebrity, most likely inspired the popularity of this day. He is best known for his debut book, “Stalking the Wild Asparagus.” Wild Foods Day is a celebration of all things wild and delicious that the planet has to offer.

Wild Foods Day
Exploring nature's pantry, discovering wild treasures, and connecting with the earth through gathering natural sustenance.
From wildflowers and berries to mushrooms and fruits, or even seaweed and kelp, Wild Foods Day is here to show appreciation for and celebrate the amazing opportunities for eating and enjoying foods that grow in the wild!
History of Wild Foods Day
For thousands of years, humans have been consuming plants and vegetation that grows in the wild. Many generations of hunters and gatherers spent their lives living off of the wild things that grew on the land, far before farmers grew cultivated crops.
While the idea of eating wild foods might feel strange, for those who have access to wooded areas and land, it’s a great way to consume clean food that has been grown without pesticides or kept with preservatives. Plus, it’s such a healthy and satisfying feeling to be able to eat “found food” that is essentially free and completely fresh.
It is important, when gathering wild foods, to be sure that the land where the foraging is taking place doesn’t have any rules against it where the plants are protected. Or if it is private property, it’s a good idea to get permission. In addition, try not to be greedy because some other animals are likely depending on these wild foods for their dinner. So be sure to leave enough to share with those others in the ecosystem, like birds, bears and more.
Wild Foods Day seems to have been started in the mid-1970s by concerned citizens who wanted to promote the idea of eating food that grows in the wild. It is likely that the inspiration behind this day came from then mini-celebrity Euell Gibbons, who was a wild food enthusiast at the time.
Today, several decades later, Wild Foods Day continues to be a popular celebration, particularly among those who are interested in getting back to a more natural style of living. So whether it’s for earth-friendly lifestyle reasons, for a scouting project with one of the kids, to supplement the grocery shop with free food, or just to know what to do when camping or hiking, learning how to live off of the land is a great idea on Wild Foods Day or any day of the year!
How to Celebrate Wild Foods Day
Looking for some fun plans for showing appreciation on Wild Foods Day? Check out some of these ideas, grab some friends, and get started celebrating!
Learn to Identify Wild Foods
For those who intend to make eating wild foods a habit, Wild Foods Day might be a good motivation to do a bit of studying in order to be able to quickly identify what is appropriate for eating and what might be dangerous. Online research or borrowing books from the local library might be a good start. Although the best way might really be to locate an expert and see if they would be interested in an apprentice tagging along as a learner!
Take a Walk in the Woods
Of course, one of the most meaningful ways to engage with Wild Foods Day would be to take a walk in the woods with a basket or bag and try foraging for food. For novices, it might be a good idea to take a reference book along to be sure everything is edible – particularly mushrooms.
Look for berries, green plants like nettles, and even flowers such as rose hips, lavender or dandelion. Many different wild herbs can also be foraged for, including wild mint, garlic mustard, clover, yarrow and so many others. A wide range of wild foods can be eaten as they are or made into excellent teas, jams, syrups and more, with just a small amount of effort and few other ingredients.
Prepare Some Wild Foods 
In honor and celebration of Wild Foods Day, perhaps it would be fun to do some food prep from those wild foods that were gathered previously. Check out some of these ideas for what to make:
Rosehip Jam These leftover bases after the rose petals fall off can be used for all sorts of yummy things in the same way berries might be used. Rosehips are rich in vitamins like A, C, D, and E, and have been important for providing vital nutrients during wartime when food was scarce. They can be found from the middle of summer to early winter, and can also be made into teas, syrups and more.
Elderberry Syrup The flowers from these berries found in the spring can make delicious cordials or even homemade champagne. Later in the season, the ripe berries can be picked to make syrups that may act as a super healthy boost to the immune system. Or the whole berries can be baked into muffins or quick breads. It’s best to avoid eating elderberries before they are cooked, though.
Wild Apples Many fruit trees grow in the wild, offering delicious opportunities for making apple butters, applesauces, pies, tarts and much more. Wild apples are often smaller than cultivated ones, and be sure to check for worms or other bugs, as they haven’t had pesticides sprayed on them.
Chestnuts Sometimes called sweet chestnuts, horse chestnuts, or even “conkers”, these nuts grow on trees and are prolific in certain areas of the UK, Europe and the US. The strange looking nuts have green spiky encasements that have to be roasted off. Then, when cooked into other foods such as vegetables with spices, or used in a nut bread, they can provide a tasty treat!
Watch Shows Incorporating Wild Foods
With so many nature shows on television and resources on the internet today, a celebration of Wild Foods Day might include watching some shows or YouTube videos about foraging and gathering.
Wild Harvest is one show that aired on PBS in 2020, featuring Les Stroud, the star of the show Survivorman.
Chefs vs. Wild, from 2022, was based on the premise that two chefs were dropped in the wild and meant to create a five star meal from what they found in the wilderness.
Forage Wars was a 2012 reality competition series where teams of foragers would compete to gather the most ingredients.
Wild Foods Day FAQs

How to get food in the wild? 
Foraging for food can be fun, but also needs to be done safely so be sure to do some homework first. And in general, it’s best to stay away from brightly colored plants and insects, as they may be poisonous.

Wild game meat is usually safe but needs to be cooked very thoroughly to be sure any possible contaminants are cooked out.

Going mushroom hunting is a skill that is best learned by an expert! For beginners, some of the easiest wild mushrooms to identify are chanterelles, hen of the woods, oyster and sulfur shelf mushrooms.

National Salmon Day
National Salmon Day has been christened an official holiday dedicated to celebrating the health, taste, convenience and diverse recipe benefits of the world’s most popular pink fish. Starting this year, the day will be marked annually on Oct. 8 in honor of both wild and packaged salmon.    
Chicken of the Sea, a leading provider of healthy, sustainable seafood and  an industry pioneer in packaged salmon, proposed the holiday as a public service to remind Americans of the significant health and wellness   advantages of the fish.    
“Now, more than ever, Americans need a high-protein, high-omega-3 food  that offers such universal taste and recipe-development appeal, the   public doesn’t recognize it as a healthy option,” explained Maureen McDonnell, Chicken of the Sea’s Director of Brand Marketing and Category Management. “National Salmon Day was created by Chicken of the Sea as an  annual reminder of the essential nutritional benefits that packaged and wild salmon brings to the table.”    
“Our ultimate goal is to celebrate National Salmon Day in 2015 and in future years in such a way that it increases consumption of the fish  leading to a long-term increase in America’s heart and nutritional  health.”
