Chefs for Children

NEARLY 50 master chefs are coming together to provide cooking classes for sick children in Spain, to help them learn about healthy eating in a fun way.

The national initiative will be held in the prestigious town of Benahavís in the south of Spain this year, on Monday, April 24.

This year’s edition of the ChefsForChildren initiative is being organised in collaboration with the Fundación Pequeño Deseo. 47 of the nation’s top chefs, many of them Michelin starred chefs will give top class culinary classes to sick children, showing them how to create nutritious but delicious meals in a fun, relaxed setting.

The children will then work alongside the chefs to create a gourmet menu that will then be served at a dinner gala with guests invited by the children at the luxury five star Hotel Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Benahavis Marbella Resort in Benahavis.

The Fundación Pequeño Deseo was created back in 2002 with the aim of making sick children’s wishes come true. Since its creation, they have granted more than 6,000 wishes to children with serious and chronic illnesses.

“NATURE trails allow visitors to explore the countryside to discover nature and enjoy Spain’s food products,” confirmed the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, when discussing the network of Spain’s nature trails.

He confirmed that nature trails are an option that satisfies many of the current demands for active and sustainable tourism. They allow people to enjoy leisure and promote well-being, they also generate economic activity and business in rural areas.
