ChefsForChildren organizes fun cooking workshops for children with diabetes at Le Cordon Bleu Madrid

Madrid, March 10, 2025. – ChefsForChildren is very excited to organize this action in collaboration with DiabetesCERO. Under the slogan “Eating healthy is fun” the chefs Iván Cerdeño (Iván Cerdeño-Cigarral del Ángel), Hugo Muñoz (Ugo Chan), Javier Aranda (Gaytán), María Gómez (Magoga), Ricardo Sanz (Ricardo Sanz Wellington) and Juan Antonio Medina (Tatel) have shown their heart of solidarity to carry out didactic and entertaining workshops.

Le Cordon Bleu Madrid is filled with colorful balloons so that children with diabetes can enjoy an afternoon of smiles with the renowned chefs after school. The activity begins with a snack for the children, with Joselito sandwiches and a strawberry sorbet from Casa del Gelato, while the chefs prefer to warm up with a Café Dromedario, and once everyone has recovered their strength, they get ready to cook together. Already wearing their aprons and chef’s hats, the children went in groups to two classrooms, where both the ingredients and the utensils were previously prepared by the school’s teachers to prepare two healthy recipes: a vegetable and chicken curry with cauliflower semolina and a Liégeois chocolate cream. The little ones followed with curiosity the instructions of the cooks to combine the food with skill to prepare both dishes.

In order to transmit to children the values of healthy gastronomy and solidarity, ChefsForChildren brings together more than 60 Michelin-starred chefs in an initiative that in this seventh edition collaborates with DiabetesCERO, the leading Spanish foundation in research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that mainly affects children and whose incidence continues to increase. Every year, between 1,200 and 1,500 children under 15 years of age are diagnosed in Spain, and 1 in 42 families live with this chronic condition.

From DiabetesCERO, its CEO, Sandra Campinas, has highlighted that: “Seeing children with type 1 diabetes enjoying, learning and cooking with the best chefs in the country is really exciting. In this ChefsForChildren workshop at Le Cordon Bleu Madrid, not only have they discovered that healthy cooking can be fun, but they have also felt the support and enthusiasm of all the people who believe in a future without type 1 diabetes. At DiabetesCERO we work every day to make that future a reality, driving research to find the cure. We are very grateful to all the chefs and collaborators for putting their talent and heart at the service of this cause.”
