Blog. Who’s Cooking Dinner?

Last Monday, 10^th October, famed restaurateur and Leukaemia UK Chairman Chris Corbin OBE hosted Who’s Cooking Dinner? the charity event in aid of Leukaemia UK and Hospitality Action at The Dorchester Hotel.

Described as “the premier restaurant event of the year”, the event brought together London’s leading chefs who each supply and cook a different four course meal with drinks for a table of ten, all served at the same time. The event raised a staggering £263,000 for the charities.

Chefs and restaurants included Sam White - 45 Jermyn Street, Patrick Powell - Allegra, Chantelle Nicholson  - Apricity, Ben Tish - Cubitt House, Masaki Sugusaki - Dinings: SW3, Phil Howard - Elystan Street, Chris & Jeff Galvin - Galvin, Andrew Yeo - Hakkasan, Ivan Tisdall-Downes - Native, Francesco Mazzei  - Sartoria, Tim Hughes  - Scott's, Daniel Stucki - SKETCH, Jean-Luc Mongodin  - The Arts Club, Ed Cooke - The Fat Duck, The Grill Dorchester, Simon Young/Nokx Majozi - The Rosewood, The Wolseley, Chotto Matte.

The evening began with a champagne reception and the surprise “Chef Draw” when guests learned for the first time who would be cooking for them, the evening featured a four course menu with matching wines.

The now famous Grand Auction was hosted by famed Sotheby’s auctioneer, Lord Harry Dalmeny, giving guests the chance to bid for their favourite chef to cook a bespoke dining experience in their home.
