The CC - Club of Cooking Men in the Brotherhood of Marmite eV (CC Club) is an association of amateur cooks in Germany.
The CC Club's aim is the art of cooking and food culture and good table manners distribute and love for the art of cooking to awaken. The organization of the club is that of a brotherhood . The club's emblem is two blue Cs and a red stylized lobster on a gold-colored background.
Foundation and development
The idea of a club that is dedicated to cooking and dining comes from Switzerland. In 1960 this idea led to the founding of the CC - Club of Cooking Men in the Brotherhood of Marmite eV in Oppenheim am Rhein.
The CC-Club is a member of the Confrérie Culinaire Internationale de la Marmite, from which the first part of the name comes. The Confrérie de la Marmite is an international association of amateur chefs, which also includes members from Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Sweden and the Netherlands.
The Brotherhood has no reservations about political, racist, national, denominational or social status, nor is it intended to make a profit from the Brotherhood's activities.
organization
In January 2012, 1,255 men were organized in 117 small groups in 103 locations in the Federal Republic of Germany. With regard to the Swiss origin, these local associations still call themselves Chuchi ( Swiss German : Chuchi = kitchen). Each Chuchi chooses one of the brothers to be the Chuchi leader from among their ranks.
The territory of the Federal Republic is regionally divided into religious provinces. The individual Chuchis are grouped into these and are looked after by a state chancellor, whom they elect from their ranks.
Every two years a general assembly, the Grand Council, is called. This is where the Chuchi leaders meet in order to elect the seven members of the federal executive committee from their own ranks, the chapter in whose hands the leadership of the brotherhood lies. These are:
| Surname | function |
|---|---|
| Grand Chancellor | Chairman (President) |
| Vice-Grand Chancellor | Deputy Chairman |
| Grand protocol | Secretary |
| Grossalmosenier | Treasurer |
| Majordomo | facility manager |
| Grand Spoon Master | Master of ceremonies |
Members wear colored ribbons according to their duties in the club. All officials who are elected wear a chest harness (a broad ribbon of the order, worn around the neck and on the chest, adorned with a red lobster).
The members of the chapter wear red, those of the grand chapter a gold harness, the state chancellor a red-white-red and the Chuchi leaders a green.
The Grand Marriage Days and cooking in the countryside serve to maintain contact between the cooking brothers at the federal level.
The ranks
Brotherhood ranks are awarded in the CC Club as recognition for cooking achievements. With a self-prepared menu , the examinee must demonstrate his suitability for the respective rank in front of a jury of other cooking brothers.
All ranks acquired in this way can be recognized by the red lobster, which is worn on a narrow collar of different colors.
