The top three bids of the night amassed a total of £91,000 with Brett Graham’s auction going for £31,000, Angela Hartnett and Mark Hix’s dinner raised £30,000 and the bid for Rainer Becker went for £30,000.
In addition, exclusively this year, the Godfather of English Pop Art Sir Peter Blake created a bespoke Who’s Cooking Dinner? piece of artwork for the auction to help raise extra funds for the worthy cause.
Chris Corbin, (The Wolseley, The Delaunay, Brasserie Zédel and Colbert) Chairman of Leuka and Who’s Cooking Dinner? said: “The event was a huge success and this year we raised even more money for the charity thanks to the chefs and their teams who donate their time - cooking a memorable meal for the guests. Each year I’m astounded by the generosity of our diners and together we’ve raised substantial funds for the research and treatment of leukaemia and blood cancer. Thank you to all our sponsors and donors.”
