Five of Phuket’s finest female chefs from the island’s premier luxury resorts and restaurants are joining forces on Saturday 22 April for ‘The Sassy Chef’s Kitchen’ charity dinner at Kata Rocks benefiting children at the BanYa Literacy Centre.
Participating chefs include Chonthicha (Mook) Surajaroenjai, Pastry Chef of Rustic – Eatery & Bar, Belinda Tuckwell, Executive Chef from The Pavilions Phuket, Patrizia Battolu, Executive Chef of la Gritta, Amari Phuket, Laia Pons, Executive Chef of Kata Rocks, Anongrat (Piak) Meklai, Executive Sous Chef of Black Ginger, The Slate Phuket. Count on each talented chef to cook up amazing culinary dishes that reflect their home country or restaurant menu, with a healthy dose of imagination for good measure.
Musical entertainment by Phuket’s top female DJ, Fabuloops, runs from 9pm to 12midnight, with a live auction featuring fabulous holiday giveaways to exclusive destinations also on offer.
Tickets to ‘The Sassy Chefs Kitchen’ Dinner are priced at THB 3,800 net per person with all proceeds raised going towards assisting the 150 Burmese children who attend the BanYa Literacy Centre. These students recently moved into a dedicated eight-room learning facility last December 2016, funded and built through grants and donations. However, the average cost to support each child runs about 10,000 baht per annum.
Good Shepherd Phuket helps women and children on the island who have been abused, are caught up in human trafficking or the sex industry, as well as in poverty or suffering from HIV. They are given shelter, counseling, schooling and the opportunity to re-educate themselves and thus earn a decent living. Handicraft items made by the women are also sold at some of the top resorts in Phuket.
This important gastronomic fundraiser is proudly sponsored by The Phuket News and Live 89.5, scheduled for Saturday 22nd April, 2017 starting from 6pm. For reservations and information please email Donna Toon, (The Good Shepherd) sassychefskitchen@gmail.com.
