ABOUT COOK FOR A CAUSE
Cook for a Cause is an annual ClubsACT initiative that brings clubs across the ACT together to showcase the creativity and talent of their chefs while raising funds for Canberra Hospital Foundation.
Participating dishes are assessed by a panel of judges and secret shoppers on taste, presentation, execution, creativity, sustainability and customer appeal.
The Tradies is proud to take part in this year’s competition and help raise funds to support patients and families across our community.
