Winner of the BBC's MasterChef in 2012, Shelina Permalloo, is calling on people to hold dinner parties throughout the month of May to boost the fundraising appeal for a new children's emergency department in Southampton.
Shelina Permalloo is supporting the Southampton Children's Hospital Charity's “Dine at Mine” initiative, which will encourage people to hold dinner parties not only at home, but in the workplace, village halls and community centres, as well as try out some of Shelina's favourite recipes.
She said, “I am really excited by the 'Dine at Mine' initiative as it brings together two subjects very close to my heart – a passion for cooking and socialising with friends and family and support for the development of a new children's emergency and trauma department. I am hopeful that we will capture the imagination not just of people across Southampton but nationwide as we look to reignite the fun of hosting dinner parties and trying out some new and inventive recipes.”
