The Associazione Professionale Cuochi Italiani (APCI) is a proudly Italian organization founded in 1998 to unite and support culinary professionals. With over 20,000 members worldwide, APCI has a rich, 20-year history of promoting Italian culture and cuisine on a global scale. The newly established North America chapter, based in Canada, was created in direct collaboration and full affiliation with the international APCI network.

This synergy is seen as essential to bringing authentic Italian flavor to every corner of North America and beyond.
