Many chefs are committed to humanitarian efforts and mobilise to provide help in extreme situations, such as in circumstances of war or when an earthquake kills several thousand people
Supporting populations in wartime or after an earthquake, distributing food after a hurricane, initiating anti-obesity programs... many chefs are committed to making the world a better place and this isn't limited to extolling the virtues of agriculture that respects the environment and human beings. The latest chef in the spotlight for humanitarian efforts is Turkish chef Ebru Baybara Demir who was this week awarded the Basque World Culinary Prize for her commitment to helping Syrian refugees.
