Anton Edelmann leads DEBRA's 40th Anniversary Celebrity Chefs Dinner

Written by: Katie Imms
To celebrate the DEBRA charity’s 40th anniversary, chef Anton Edelmann and five of his ‘most celebrated chef protégés’ will be serving a four-course charity dinner at The Savoy (London) on 8 June.

Supporting sufferers of the skin blistering condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), the DEBRA 40th Anniversary Celebrity Chefs Dinner will see chefs Mark Hix, Giorgio Locatelli, Jeff Galvin, William Curley and Holger Jackisch join Edelmann in the Savoy kitchen, where he worked as maître chef de cuisines for over 20 years.

 

The menu comprises:

Holger Jackisch – canapès and petits fours

Mark Hix: sugar pit ox cheek and split green pea salad

Giorgio Locatelli – locatelli calamarata with samphire, monkfish, chilli and lemon

Jeff Galvin – breast of guinea fowl with broad beans, fresh morels and herb gnocchi

William Curley – chocolate praline mille-feuille with orange yoghurt ice cream and orange compote

 

As well as a champagne reception, there will be live music from pop band, Jam Hot, and a charity auction on the night.

 

Edelmann said: “I have been supporting DEBRA for over 15 years and I cannot think of a better place to celebrate its 40th anniversary than at The Savoy.

 

“All of these fantastic chefs have learnt part of their craft with me under the expert tutelage of the hotel, and have since gone on to become leaders in the culinary field.

 

“This is a unique opportunity for people to support DEBRA while tasting the history of The Savoy.”

 

With only 250 tickets available, the charity hopes to beat the £60,000 raised at last year’s dinner, which helps fight the life-limiting skin condition EB.
