Fundaziun Uccelin

The foundation was set up in November 2015 by well known Swiss chef Andreas Caminada.

The aim of the foundation is to work towards a sustainable high level of fine dining quality in Switzerland and abroad. In order to reach this, the foundation fosters Swiss and foreign culinary talents in service and kitchen by providing them the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills in their respective crafts. This is done through intensive training (a 20 week training program) which

includes internships to be pursued at restaurants of great chefs and important producers all around the world.

… und dann hauen und zum Abschluss des Abends noch eine dicke Überraschung auf den Tisch.

Ein fantastischer Abend für den begabten Nachwuchs, eine wunderbare Partnerschaft!

„I can truly recommend to every passionate young gastronome.

A forward-thinking approach that values Front of House talents just as much as the chefs.

In just 5 months of traveling I was able to gain such a wide range of experiences – across different fields, in amazing restaurants, and even behind the scenes of gastronomy with inspiring producers.

The variety of learning opportunities is unique.“

"Through the Fundaziun Uccelin program, I discovered that being a chef is about far more than food:

It’s about the people, the stories, and the legacy we are privileged to carry forward.

This incredible opportunity has been invaluable to my growth as both a chef and a person."

From kitchen to concept – a bold leap inspired by his journey.

With "Eat, Plan, Learn", didn’t just cook – for his final product he created something valuable for his peers!

A thoughtful and practical book designed to support skilled and passionate chefs in managing themselves, setting realistic goals, and growing into confident leaders in a demanding professional environment.

Chapters like “Future Planning & Self Discovery,” “Freedom of Ideas,” and “Economical Planning” reflect the heart of this project: empowering chefs to lead with clarity, creativity, and intention.

“Seeing a young chef take this leap into leadership thinking is exactly the kind of growth we hope to inspire. This project is a remarkable example of how talent and reflection can shape the future of our industry.",
- Marc-André Buchwalder, Managing Director, Fundaziun Uccelin

What began as a personal journey became a valuable tool for others – a project rooted in self-awareness, ambition, and generosity.
