Eat Your Words - Food Critics Cook for Charity!

5 Food editors
5 Chefs
5 Course dinner
125 Critics
All for 1 fantastic charity

You've read our reviews, now see if we're actually worth our salt!

For 1 night only, 5 food writers will be paired with 5 chefs and put to the ultimate test – serving a 5 course dinner to 125 critics at The Salted Pig!

Who are the critics? Well, you, the public of course.

You will be invited to “crit” each course on its merits - a turning of the tables so to speak - and a challenge for our favourite food critics to eat their words!

It is all for a bit of fun, of course (you can even watch us bumble about in a commercial kitchen from live cameras in the restaurant), and, most importantly, it's to raise money for local food charity Foodlink, to alleviate food wastage and hunger in Hong Kong.

The 5 teams are (in order of course/dish appearance):

• Alicia Walker of Foodie Magazine with James Black of The Salted Pig
• Janice Jann of Time Out Hong Kong with Arturo Melendez of Chicha
• Janice Leung Hayes (that's me!) of e_ting with Anthony Fletcher of The Pawn
• Adele Wong of HK Magazine with Jason Black of Shore
• Ale Wilkinson of The Dim Sum Diaries with Gregoire Michaud of Bread Elements

And check out the fantastic auction prizes, including:

• A pastry and bread master class for 10 people with Gregoire Michaud and his team at Bread Elements
• A rooftop dinner cooked by Anthony Fletcher at The Pawn 
• A meat cooking class for 10 people with Jason Black at Pantry Magic, with a little goodie bag for each person from Pantry Magic
• A HK food tour led by me, as part of Little Adventures in Hong Kong
• A cheese and wine pairing for four people at the Caprice Cheese Room at the Four Seasons Hong Kong
• A $1000 gift voucher for dining at Yardbird
• A two-night stay for anyone visiting HK at the J Plus Boutique Hotel in Causeway Bay
• A custom-made chef uniform by Chefworks
• A blind date with the gorgeous Ale Wilkinson of The Dim Sum Diaries

That's me in my Chefworks uniform! (Just trying it on for size, not my team "colour" hehe)
