CODIGO DE HONRA

2007-03-14T09:25:00.000Z

Article 1:
Le devoir d'un chef est de respecter ses traditions culinaires et les meilleurs principes de la bonne cuisine.
Article 2:
Le chef doit travailler avec la même intégrité et conscience, quels que soient les conditions, les souhaits ou les demandes de ses consommateurs, ainsi que leurs sentiments envers eux.

Article 3:
Un chef devrait travailler sous les conditions qui ne compromette pas la qualité de son travail, de façon à ce qu'il puisse maintenir l'art de sa profession.

Article 4:
Le chef doit promouvoir l'utilisation d'aliments de qualité exceptionnelle et éviter les produits qui ont été frelatés, ou qui sont indésirables pour la consommation. De la même manière, quelconque préparation qui devienne impropre à la consommation doit être détruite.

Article 5:
Le chef doit rester complètement indépendant de ses fournisseurs, et ne pas être compromis dans l'acceptation de quelconque autre que le meilleur produit disponible.

Article 6:
Induire en erreur la confiance des goûts des consommateurs, en servant des produits qui sont inexactement décrits est interdit. De tels abus risquent d'engendrer une mauvaise image pour la profession.

Article 7:
Les chefs d'Euro-Toques devraient maintenir une bonne relation. Ils devraient fournir une assistance morale et un support professionnel les uns les autres. N'importe qui qui ait un grief professionnel avec un collègue devrait d'abord essayer de résoudre les problèmes avec ce dernier. Si l'on ne peut pas trouver de solution, le problème peut être présenter à son représentant national pour un arbitrage.

Article 8:
C'est le devoir de tout chef que de tenir au courant ses collègues d'Euro-Toques de la qualité des produits de son pays ou de sa région, dans l'esprit de la Charte d'Euro-Toques.
