A Month Long Celebration of Culinary Arts

National Culinary Arts Month in July recognizes the professional cooks and chefs who bring innovative cuisine from their kitchens to our tables every day.

Around the country, culinary schools, restaurants, kitchens & commissaries will be honoring chefs for their inventive recipes and creative dishes. The month-long celebration spotlights the best in the industry, the latest trends and what’s exciting in the culinary world.

From delicate pastries to the freshest seafood dishes and spice combinations, chefs and cooks hone their skills daily to stay on the edge of culinary perfection. It’s no surprise there’s an entire month dedicated to honoring their achievements.

Plascon offers a variety of flexible packaging and storage products that can aid the culinary professionals in their daily duties.
