31 chefs cook up a gourmet potluck dinner for a cause
MANILA, Philippines - “Recipes for Children’s Dreams,” a gourmet potluck dinner on Nov. 25 at Merville Park, Parañaque’s Rogationist Seminary, gathers 31 of the metro’s top chefs and culinary experts for a P2,000 buffet. Proceeds from the 83-dish spread prepared by the participating chefs will go to the construction of a building for the St. Hannibal’s Children’s Center, where feeding programs as well as values formation and catechism classes are organized every Sunday for kids from the less-fortunate communities of Merville.
The project is the brainchild of Jean Pierre Migne, the veteran French chef behind some of the finest five-star restaurants in the country and the world — and a man with a genuinely soft spot for Pinoy children.
Joining chefs JP and Martin in this endeavor are Chris Locher (C-Italian Restaurant), Christian Werdenberg (Dusit Thani), Colin MacKay (People’s Palace, Sala Restaurant), Cyrille Soenen (Brasserie Cicou), David Pardo de Ayala (Discovery Restaurants), Eugene Raymundo (Kitch Café), Glenda Barretto (Via Mare Group of Restaurants), Hans Rudolf Neukom (The Palms Country Club Alabang), Jessie Sincioco (Jessie Group of Restaurants), Jill Sandique (Delize), Jomi Gaston (Sabor Bisaya), Laurent Maleval (Dessert Station, Inc.), Marc Aubry (Champetre Restaurant), Marc Chalopin (ADF-Enderun School), Markus Gfeller (Cav Restaurant), Mauro Arjona (Uncle Cheffy, Beurre Blanc), Myrna Segismundo (9501 Restaurant), Melchor Taylo, Norbert Gandler (Aubergine Restaurant), Robby Goco (Cyma Restaurant), Sau del Rosario (Chelsea Restaurant), See Chong Yan (Enderun School), Tanke Tanteko (Restaurant 1521), Philippe Bartholomi (Century Park Hotel), Werner Berger (Werdenberg, Inc.), Pinky Anonuevo (Pinky’s Goodies), Polly Garilao (Ms. Polly’s Specialty Cakes & Desserts), Rosalie Valera (Center Table Catering, Inc.), and Carole Conti Sumulong (Conti’s Pastry Shops & Restaurants).
