World Cooks in Action

....The World Cooks Tour for Hunger represents a unique event where great chefs from all over the World gave of their time and skill to come to South Africa with the purpose of raising money for two very deserving charities - Operation Hunger and The Valley Trust of Natal. These world chefs along with teams of chefs from South Africa brought the finest set of culinary skills yet assembled; chefs with countless years of experience, a multitude of Gold Medals and Awards and pots of care and compassion for the plight of the hungry and the needy.
