FOR the first time in Manchester, humanitarian charity Action Against Hunger is organising an exclusive Michelin starred dining event, The Art and Wine Masterpiece Dinner, with the aim of raising more than £30,000 to help save the lives of malnourished children.
A number of high profile chefs will join forces, including Robert Ortiz (below), exec chef of Michelin-starred Lima in London, Rupert Rowley, head chef at the Michelin-starred Fischer’s Baslow Hall, Steven Smith, chef patron of Freemasons at Wiswell, No.1 pub in The Good Food Guide, and Stosie Madi, chef/patron of the acclaimed Parkers Arms in the Trough of Bowland.
On Wednesday, November 9 they will cook a bespoke four course meal for 90 guests – the great and good of Manchester’s fine wine, food and art scenes – at the University of Manchester’s Whitworth Gallery.
The dinner is supported by Thom Hetherington and his Buy Art Fair http://www.buyartfair.co.uk/#/?_k=9u6vvn] and will be hosted on the night by Kate Goodman of Reserve Wines, West Didsbury. It will start with a champagne reception and include live and silent auctions with some highly collectible prizes on offer including exclusive original art works, vintage wines and other luxury items.
Caroline Dyer, fundraising campaign manager from Action Against Hunger, said; “We’re delighted to hold the first Art and Wine Masterpiece Dinner in Manchester and what better place than the award-winning Whitworth. The funds raised at this event will help make such a big difference to vulnerable children going hungry around the world. We’re incredibly grateful to the chefs and all those involved in the event for making it happen.”
Tickets are priced at £200 per person, or £2,000 for a table of 10, with all proceeds from the event going to Action Against Hunger. Buy them here.
