Chefs for heroes

An Army marches on its stomach they say, so it's entirely appropriate that on the 2nd October London's top chefs will be cooking up a five course feast at London's Guildhall to raise money for troops wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Chefs for Heroes gala dinner is being spearheaded by The Lanesborough's chef de cuisine, Paul Gayler, and dished up by an army of chefs from the UK's top restaurants including Andrew Bennett (Sheraton Park Lane), Gary Klaner (Landmark Hotel), Martyn Nail (Claridge's), Paul Bates (Intercontinental, Hyde Park Corner), Simon Young (The Jumeirah Carlton Tower, Knightsbridge) and Matthew Marshall (Chamberlain's Events). Having cooked for Royalty and pop icons such as Madonna, Mariah Carey and the late Michael Jackson, Paul's team will be serving up the most sumptuous menu using only the finest and freshest ingredients to London's glitterati in a bid to raise £300,000 for Help for Heroes, a charity Paul felt compelled to help after his son Lee was shot in the leg whilst serving with the Territorial Army in Afghanistan. Tickets cost from £500 and can be booked at www.chefsforheroes.org

One of the things I noticed was the price of the ticket!! If we can make our event half as successful as this one, we can really make some money for such a worthy cause! http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/chefs_for_heroes.html 12/08/09 Posted by: Grace
