Celebrity chefs J’Something and David Higgs will be Cooking for Dreams with Discovery Vitality and Reach For a Dream

Vitality is proud to partner with Reach For A Dream in their Cooking for Dreams initiative, along with DHL and Woolworths. The virtual cook-along, hosted by celebrity chefs J’Something and David Higgs, will gather enthusiastic cooks across South Africa virtually in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the most people cooking online at once, while raising funds for children fighting life-threatening illnesses.

Dinesh Govender, Discovery Vitality CEO says: “We’re delighted to host J’Something and David Higgs at the Vitality HealthyFood Studio on 24 June 2021, from where the record attempt will be streamed live. Vitality has always taken pride in achieving ‘world firsts’ and consistently being a force for social good - this innovative and interactive event is no exception”.

Anyone in South Africa can join in the cook-along virtually by buying the Cooking For Dreams ingredients online, for R350. The ingredients for an Easy Peasy Pea Curry will be couriered to participants, free of cost for the first 3000, by DHL.

Govender adds, “We want at least 3000 people to participate and break this record, which will ultimately benefit children in need”.

Reach For A Dream CEO, Julia Sotirianakos says: “The Cooking For Dreams cook-a-long is a fun way to get families, schools and corporates together in their kitchens to cook, while helping children facing life-threatening illnesses realise their dreams through the funds raised. We are looking forward to uniting South Africans as everyone comes together to cook for a cause and attempt to break a Guinness World Record.”
