Chefs to cook up a storm for charity ahead of World Food Day
The Chef Showdown Challenge, which started in September and will end on World Food Day on October 16, aims to create awareness for South Africa's hunger crisis.
TALENTED chefs from seven Sun International properties across South Africa have signed up for an epic cook-off to help alleviate hunger by raising money for Rise Against Hunger (RAH), a non-profit organisation.
The Chef Showdown Challenge, which started in September and will end on World Food Day on October 16, aims to create awareness for South Africa’s hunger crisis.
Chef’s teams from Sibaya Casino in Durban, The Maslow Sandton, Grand West, Golden Valley, Windmill Casino, The Wild Coast Sun resort and Time Square, have created tasty recipes using ingredients from the Rise Against Hunger meal pack of rice, soya, lentils and spice mix. There was no restriction on other ingredients they could incorporate into their meals.
Team Sibaya said their motivation was to use their “skills, passion and teamwork” to reduce hunger.
The Maslow Beasts promised to put “passion on a plate” and believe the competition is “the ideal platform to showcase our chef`s skills and teamwork.”
Golden Valley’s ‘2 Cooks and A Boss’ were motivated to “bring exposure to RAH’s work, and be challenged as chefs to create and bring new flavours to dishes while pushing ourselves to strive for excellence”.
The public can cast their vote until October 15. Three judges from the South African Chefs Association will judge the videos and the winner will be announced on October 16.
