The Col’Cacchio Celebrity Chef Series raised R120 000 last year for the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. They plan to beat that this year.

Col’Cacchio invites six top South African chefs to produce a gourmet pizza, one creation on offer each month for six months (April to September). As it is 2010, this year each chef will ‘represent’ a participating country in the upcoming soccer showcase.

The celebrity chefs this year, three male and three female, are: Michael Broughton (Terroir), Nicky Gibbs (The Westcliff), Jodi-Ann Pearton (The Food Design Agency), David Higgs (Rust en Vrede), Chantel Dartnall (Restaurant Mosaic) and Franck Dangereux (The Foodbarn).

R5 from every gourmet celebrity pizza sold goes to the Children’s Hospital Trust, a 100% of the donations going to upgrade the Burns Unit. This ward admits over 1300 severely burned patients annually and has not been upgraded since 1956!

What better reason to go and get a pizza!
