I thought that you might like to hear about a fun and rather special fund
raiser;
Hotel du Vin v Lainston House in a 'Ready, Steady, Cook' style Charity
Chefs' Challenge on Thursday 30th September.
Welcome drinks will be served from 7pm and the show will commence at 7.30pm
In Thornden Hall performing arts centre in Chandler's Ford. It's a beautiful
theatre and there will be cameramen doing close ups on the Chefs and food.
Proceeds go to Wave 105's 'Cash for Kids' (50%) Macmillan Cancer Support
(25%) and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (25%).
This is a volunteer led event. Unavoidable expenses will be kept to an
absolute minimum.
The show will be hosted by Simon Clarke from Wave 105's afternoon programme,
The emphasis is on fun, involvement and learning. As well as top class food
demonstrations, there's plenty of audience participation with Q&A
opportunities and some lucky people will be invited to sample the food at
the Chefs' table! Everyone will vote and choose the winners.
In addition to a great raffle, there will be a charity auction. You can bid
for some fantastic 'money-can't-buy' experiences, such as Head Chef Andy
Mackenzie of Lainston House coming to your home to cook dinner for 8 people.
A cookery lesson with Adam Fargin and champagne dinner for 2 at Hotel du
Vin and a day sailing on the Solent for 10. Visit
www.cookerydemo.co.uk. for a full list of auction and raffle prizes. Also on the site are photos
and recipes from the Chewton Glen v Lime Wood Hotel event which was part of
the Hampshire Food Festival on July 12th.
