American Culinary Federation Takes On The World Wide Web

The American Culinary Federation, Inc. (ACF) announced the launch of a re-designed Web site, www.acfchefs.org, and the unveiling of a new interactive social network for culinarians, www.WeAreChefs.com.


ACF's Web site, www.acfchefs.org, has been re-designed for a fresh, new look. Visitors can expect to find easier navigation, up-to-date content and more culinary resources. While the re-designed site has already launched, users will continue to see new improvements and the expansion of several sections. One of the most awaited components of the re-designed site is the recipe database. With more than 500 recipes available, users can search for recipes by: menu part, cookbook or cuisine. Other areas of expansion include trends and techniques articles, an online video library and bookstore.

"It is a huge improvement in ACF's communication with members, potential members and partners," said John Kinsella, CMC, WGMC, CCE, AAC, ACF national president "Our re-designed Web site has improved our Web presence and will open the door to many new opportunities."

ACF also recently launched a new interactive networking site, www.WeAreChefs.com. We Are Chefs is a social networking site designed specifically for professional chefs and culinary students. It is a quick avenue for culinary professionals to meet and network with other chefs while keeping up-to-date on the latest culinary news.

Culinarians are invited to join the free site where they can create a personal page, post blogs and pictures, join groups, share recipes and much more.
