On 5th March Residential Land attended the “Who’s Cooking Dinner” charity auction at the Four Seasons Hotel at Park Lane in aid of Leuka, a charity raising money to create a better future for patients with leukaemia. “Who’s Cooking Dinner” was founded in 1999 by Peter Gordon and Chris Corbin and raises money for treatment and research, specifically for the specialist leukaemia centre at Hammersmith Hospital, one of the world’s leading units for haematology.
On the evening, twenty top London chefs including Rainer Becker of Zuma, Tim Hughes of Scotts, Mark Edwards of Nobu and Tong Chee Hwee of Hakkasan came together to cook dinner for 200 diners. There were 20 tables with each chef creating their own four course meal for one table of 10. Each table was served by the restaurants maître d’ and wine waiter and after the meal each table had the chance to meet their chef.
The evening was a huge success and ended with an exceptional “auction of chefs”, where diners had the opportunity to bid for one of the culinary stars to cook dinner in their own home. Residential Land successfully bid for Mark Edwards of Nobu to cook a private meal for 10 people. “Who’s Cooking Dinner” has raised £3.7million since its first charity auction in 1999.
