Hotel School geared up for Table of Unity

BUSY: Hotel School students will make the event memorable

Friday, 11 May 2012

It’s all hands on deck this Mother’s Day weekend as CPUT’s Hotel School gear up for the annual Table of Peace and Unity event.

The fundraiser will see 700 people coming together to break bread at one long table set on Tafelberg Road – and raise millions for children’s charities.

Cape Town Hotel School Lecturers Jerome Peters and Danielle Schamrel will join other top chefs to prepare the three-course meal while students will help staff the event, using the skills learnt in the field each day at the Granger Bay Hotel School restaurant.

Jerome and Danielle will prepare the dessert of baked cheesecake brownie, chocolate truffles and raspberry coulis.

“We will have 60-80 students involved over three days. On the day of the event, 40 students will be divided into two stations and we also have our 100 first-year students doing the front-of-house service side of the operation,” says Jerome.
The Table of Peace & Unity was started 11 years ago and has raised close to R12 million to date. Every cent goes directly to the charities, which support abused, vulnerable and orphaned children across South Africa.
