Your guide to celebrating October 20 2029
Skip to all 16 daysOctober 20 is a fine day to borrow a chef’s confidence, even if your kitchen credentials begin and end with knowing where the spatula lives.
For International Chefs Day, choose a meal from the recipes and tips shared by chefs around the world, then cook it at home with a bit of flair. If a younger cook wants in, hand over a real job and share one useful trick instead of hovering over every stir. You could also turn dinner into a friendly challenge with family or neighbors, complete with dramatic judging faces.
Keep the chef hat on for National Brandied Fruit Day. Cook fruit with sugar, spices, flavorings and brandy, then set it aside to mature for a few weeks. This is dessert planning with patience: October 20 does the prep, and a future bowl of something sweet gets the fancy topping.
National Brandied Fruit Day
Try making your own brandied fruit at home: just take some fruit, sugar, spices and flavorings, and brandy. Cook it down, let it sit a few weeks, then enjoy.
Finish with Office Chocolate Day. Bring a tray of chocolates for coworkers to share, or pass it around among friends if your office is a kitchen table and a laptop. The quickest morale boost in the room may turn out to be a box with a crinkly paper liner.
Office Chocolate Day
Bring some joy to your office with a selection of decadent chocolate. Bring trays of chocolates, baked chocolate goodies, or whatever else you like.
