Sponsors Description:The Les Toques Blanches Victorian chapter in Australia was founded in 1986 he International organisation “Les Toques Blanches” began in 1978 in Paris, France when Jean Rougie realized there was very little communication among culinary specialists practicing their craft. This was true not only in France but all over the world, with many professional chefs working outside their country of origin.

Identifying that chefs need a worldwide formal organisation, Jean and his conferees launched their fledging organisation in Paris, France and called it, “Les Toques Blanches” which translated means: “The White Hat”.
