June 24 - National Parchment Day


Happy National Parchment Day! At the end of June each year, today brings innovation and convenience back to the kitchen. 

 

While adding convenience, parchment also infuses flavor, locks in moisture, and preserves vital nutrients. It has also long been a part of the traditional French kitchen.  


Ever versatile, parchment easily transitions from skillet to oven and from the grill to the table. Its ability to be elegant as well as useful makes it one of the more effective tools in the kitchen. 


en papillote: a cooking style where the food is wrapped in paper 


Cooking en papillote enhances natural flavors, without synthetic sprays and high-fat oils. 


Culinary parchment also simplifies preparation and clean-up and is a much healthier and environmentally friendlier alternative to traditional cooking techniques.  

 
The French have cooked with parchment for centuries, perfecting taste and texture in every dish. It has long-served as the secret to preparing wholesome, healthy meals. 

 
With all of these added benefits, how could you ignore what parchment brings to the kitchen and the table? A variety of parchment products make composing delicious meals in the home kitchen a culinary success.

HISTORY 

 
In 2016, PaperChef founded National Parchment Day. With local food movements on the rise, PaperChef is encouraging all culinary enthusiasts – from professional chefs to home cooks – to explore foods that mirror the “farm to fork movement.”  


The movement offers North Americans viable alternatives to their popular but non-compostable and non-recyclable counterparts, refusing to compromise on quality and integrity by manufacturing items that won’t live in landfills for centuries. 


On June 20, 2016, the Registrar at National Day Calendar® proclaimed the day to be observed annually on the last Wednesday in June.
