Celebrity chefs unite to raise funds for the leading children's cancer charity

26th May 2010, 9:24am

Chefs Unite is a series of online raffles featuring exclusive prizes donated by some of the world's most famous chefs to raise money for children's cancer charity, Children with Leukaemia.

 The raffles, which will be open until 7th July, will give you the opportunity to win prizes donated by big names including Raymond Blanc, Heston Blumenthal, Ken Hom, Marcus Wareing and Marco Pierre White.

Among the prizes on offer is a trip to Paris to have a banquet cooked by Ken Hom in his apartment, dinner with Marco Pierre White, a cookery lesson with Antony Worrall Thompson in the comfort of your own kitchen and an Italian masterclass with Antonio Carluccio at his London home.

One lucky winner will enjoy a one-to-one cookery lesson with Marcus Wareing before sitting down to lunch with three friends at his Michelin-starred restaurant, Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley.

The chefs taking part have all been moved by the courage shown by children suffering from leukaemia. Antony Worrall Thompson said: "I'm delighted to support such a worthy cause. Simply put, the more people that buy raffle tickets, the more the charity can invest in saving children's lives. What's more, if you're a lucky winner, you might find me in your kitchen one day soon."

And Italian maestro Antonio Carluccio said: "I have been cooking for over 50 years, and am delighted to be able to share my passion to help a fantastic charity. CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA fund research into this terrible disease and I hope that the Chefs Unite raffles will raise thousands to help save young lives. Make sure you buy a ticket to be in with a chance of winning a cookery lesson for two with me…perhaps I'll even share the secret of an authentic bolognese sauce."
