Cooking for a Cause, a fundraising fête to honor food, was hosted in-person for the first time by New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute (NOCHI) on Sept. 21.
Combining a two-week online auction with a finale in-person soirée, the event raised over $23,000 to support NOCHI’s work at the forefront of culinary and hospitality learning. The auction featured one-of-a-kind private dinner parties, cooking and mixology classes hosted by some of New Orleans’ favorite names in hospitality.
