Award-winning chef Joe Thottungal is celebrated not only for his culinary skills, but also for his consistent philanthropy – especially during COVID-19.
When the pandemic first hit, Thottungal was travelling through India for a culinary tour. Hearing the news, he immediately returned home, sleeves rolled up and ready to help.
Thottungal rallied his team around Food For Thought Net Café. Founded by chef Sylvain de Margerie in 2018, the non-profit is on a mission to reduce food insecurity for low-income households, focusing on vulnerable individuals in lodgings with no kitchen, or for whom cooking is a challenge.
“It is really scary to see the food insecurity,” Thottungal says. “A lot of people are falling through the cracks.”
