 劍橋飲食學會(Cambridge Food & Wine Society)，自一九八八年由陳籍強教授(Leo Chan)及Professor Gian Paolo (J.P.) Michelini共同創辦，轉瞬間已踏入第二十二年。最初由一群喜愛鑽研飲食人士開始，進而發展為推廣飲食文化，並向在廚藝、釀酒及餐飲業服務方面有出色表現者頒發獎項，以表揚飲食從業員在業界的努力。劍橋飲食學會每年所舉辦的飲食活動已逐漸成為飲食界及社區一大盛事。

劍橋飲食學會過去十多年一直不遺餘力的支持社區活動，除設多項飲食大獎外，亦提供獎學金予飲食從業員。二零零四年贊助加拿大國家烹飪隊，前往德國參加世界烹飪比賽，取得金牌殊榮。二零零六年贊助安省烹飪隊，參加盧森堡世界烹飪比賽，亦能掄元得到金牌獎項；自二零零四年開始，每年均支持及贊助多倫多美洲西班牙語電影節，耆輝基金會周年晚宴以及加拿大小交響樂團的名酒與芝士音樂會；亦對中學及大專學生頒授多項獎學金。二零零七年為意大利社區哥倫布中心，舉行〝馬可孛羅之夜〞慈善籌款晚宴。二零零八、二零零九年為【林黃彩珍基金會】(Jean Lumb Foundation)，舉行籌款晚宴，收益均捐贈該基金會，以鼓勵其扶掖華裔學莘，繼續進修高等教育的不遺餘力。今年晚宴所得，亦繼續支持【林黃彩珍基金會】。
