Chefs Stir Up Support for Anti-Hunger Campaign

A group of leading UK chefs are aiming to attract recruits for Action Against Hunger's annual fundraising campaign, Fight Hunger. Eat Out.

The initiative, which runs from 1st-31st October, sees Raymond Blanc, Antonio Carluccio, Giorgio Locatelli, Oliver Rowe and Michel Roux Jr, among others, calling on fellow chefs and restaurateurs to join the fundraising campaign.

Founded in 1998, Restaurants Against Hunger is an international movement which has helped to raise more than ?1.2 million towards the fight against child hunger.

Each October and centered around World Food Day on the 16th, thousands of food lovers across the country are invited to dine out at participating restaurants to raise vital funds to combat hunger and malnutrition worldwide.

Restaurants may add an optional donation onto their bills, or a small percentage from a designated dish on the menu can also help.

Raymond Blanc, OBE and Ambassador for Action Against Hunger says: 'I'm a keen supporter of Action Against Hunger's campaigns and what I particularly love about Fight Hunger. Eat Out. is that it encourages diners to eat out and to try new restaurants while uniting the industry and its clientele. In 2008, 500 restaurants signed up for the cause and we hope that they will be joined by many more businesses who want to get involved.'
