Ignite your passion in Rotary – the fine food and fine wine way
It’s one thing to cook in a commercial kitchen; it’s totally another challenge to do private dinners at private homes. Likewise, to prepare a fine food banquet for 10 or 12 people is totally different from catering for a function for hundreds. Reflecting on the years in which the Cooking For Charity Initiative, a Rotary Club of Manningham project has thrived is simply amazing.
Since its conception some eight years ago, the initiative has now raised an astonishing sum of $1,295,815 for various charities, including charity dinners in aid of Alzheimer’s Australia/Rotary Club of Manningham, Sunlove Homes/Rotary Club of Raffles City, Singapore and Spastic Children Centre, Malaysia, to name just a few.
