This November/December issue celebrates the connections, traditions, and innovations that bring meaning to the craft of cooking. We explore the power of the mentor–mentee relationship and how guiding the next generation not only strengthens our industry but also deepens our own professional growth.
In the spirit of the season, we take a look at Stollen, the classic German holiday bread, through both classical and modern interpretations, complete with recipes to inspire your holiday menus. You’ll also discover how kefir, a centuries-old fermented dairy, continues to evolve as a versatile ingredient in today’s kitchens.
Finally, we take you inside ACF’s enhanced Apprenticeship model, designed to meet the needs of modern kitchens while building pathways for career development and certification-ready culinarians.
From mentorship and heritage to innovation and education, this issue delivers everything that defines the heart of the ACF community.
