The Chefs de Cuisine Association of St. Louis, Inc. is a non-profit organization of culinary professionals dedicated to furthering the education, certification and camaraderie within our culinary community, and responding to the social and nutritional needs of our community at large.

As the St. Louis chapter of the American Culinary Federation, we are a proud part of the largest professional chefs' organization in North America. Established in 1929, the American Culinary Federation (ACF) was formed by the combined visions of three chefs' associations in New York, and is now comprised of more than 18,000 members in 240 chapters across the United States.

Chef’s de Cuisine Association of St. Louis focuses on assisting the culinary education, and certification of professional cooks and chefs. Our events and programs focus on continuing education in the culinary and nutritional arts. We are active fund raisers, to benefit culinary grants and scholarships, to fund our Knowledge Bowl and Culinary Cooking Teams, to assist our fellow professionals in their times of need, and in our Chef and Child outreach program, to educate children on proper nutrition.

We cordially invite you to join us for any of our meetings and events, regardless of your culinary background. You will find our fellowship welcoming, educational, and genuinely interested and interesting.
