This year’s Too Many Critics charity cook-off raised a record-breaking £143,012 for Action Against Hunger. The night, which took place on Tuesday at Robin and Sarah Gill’s stylish, Manhattan-inspired restaurant Darby's saw restaurant critics and food writers step into the kitchen to prepare a night of food for guests, helped considerably by the Darby’s kitchen team.
Those cooking included the Mail’s Tom Parker Bowles, Giles Coren of the Times, the Independent’s Hannah Twiggs, Kate Krader of Bloomberg, Masterchef judge Leyla Kazim, and the Standard’s own David Ellis. The food writer Joe Warwick hosted the evening, and also presenting was food writer Bill Knott, who co-founded the event with the late Charles Campion. Knott’s work has raised more than £5million for Action Against Hunger.
