Child Cancer Foundation Appeal

I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in this wonderful night where four of us from MasterChef NZ cooked a nice meal for mums of children with cancer.  Great to have the assistance of Ross Burden, one of the judges.

The three of us found it hard - being parents ourselves - to imagine the lives that these families are forced to lead. Good on TVNZ for giving them a makeover and a special night out. We designed a menu that could easily be acheived at a home dinner party.

Tamati Coffey served drinks. The mums had a visit from Bernadine Oliver-Kirby too
