Following last year\u2019s considerable success of the\u00a0\u2018Chefs who share \u2013 the ART of giving\u2019<\/a>\u00a0black-tie charity gala,\u00a0The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa<\/a>\u2019s Executive Chef Christo Pretorius and Head Sommelier Gregory Mutambe will once again participate in this year\u2019s spectacular, \u2018feel-good\u2019 event, to be held in the City Hall in Cape Town on Thursday 10 September 2015. Created by Barbara Lenhard in 2013 to raise funds for youth development in South Africa, \u2018Chefs who share\u2019 has raised close to R4 million in the past two years.<\/p>\n

Fourteen of the country\u2019s top chefs, including Chef Pretorius, will lend their time and creativity to create a culinary feast for 252 guests. Paired in seven teams, they will be joined by seven acclaimed sommeliers, of which Gregory Mutambe is one, to select predominantly South African wines for their menus. Together with ongoing presenting partner\u00a0Mercedes-Benz\u00a0and associate sponsors Deutsche Bank, Swiss International Air Lines and Bulgari, Barbara Lenhard and her team have set the stakes high to ensure that this year\u2019s gala will once again exceed all expectations.<\/p>\n

Working alongside Chef Pretorius at the grand gala will be Virgil Kahn from Indochine at Delaire Graff, with Mutambe completing the powerhouse line-up of \u2018Team 1\u2019. Together they will prepare an exclusive fine dining menu, paired with the finest selection of wines, for three of the 21 tables of guests attending the glittering event. A dynamic pair, Chef Pretorius and Sommelier Mutambe, together with The Twelve Apostles Hotel\u2019s Deputy\u00a0General\u00a0Manager \/ Food & Beverage Manager Gavin Ferreira, have maintained\u00a0Azure Restaurant<\/a>\u2019s Diamond Certification in the Diners Club Winelist Awards year on year, and secured its spot in the American Express\u00ae Platinum Fine Dining Awards in both 2013 and 2014. As in last year\u2019s\u00a0Chefs who share\u00a0event, Ferreira will be running the floor and coordinating the food and wine service throughout the evening.<\/p>\n

An exciting new addition to this year\u2019s event is the\u00a0Chefs who share – Young Chef Award<\/a>, a once in a lifetime opportunity for South Africa\u2019s up and coming chefs to join their culinary idols at Chefs who share. Following an elimination process over the next few weeks, seven young chefs from around South Africa will be invited to cook at the glamorous event with their experienced peers. The ultimate award \u2013 a trip to Europe to cook in a Michelin-starred restaurant and experience two days in Champagne, will be presented to the most promising young chef on the night.<\/p>\n

Gerry Elsdon and Jeremy Mansfield will again take on MC duties at the gala, with Iain Banner presiding over the now legendary auction for the third year in a row. Set to be one of the highlights of the evening, the\u00a0auction\u00a0will afford guests the opportunity to bid for outstanding works of art by some of South Africa\u2019s leading artists, as well as special once-off\u00a0travel and lifestyle\u00a0experiences.<\/p>\n

As in previous years, 100% of the money raised at\u00a0\u2018Chefs who share \u2013 the ART of giving\u2019 via ticket sales, as well as all proceeds from the auction will go to two carefully chosen charities,\u00a0MAD Leadership Foundation\u00a0and the\u00a0Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. Chefs who share\u2019s ongoing\u00a0\u2018Veggie Box Initiative\u2019\u00a0meanwhile offers further support to the local community.<\/p>\n
