However, his NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK) is present in Cáceres, where he distributes food to those affected by the fires that devastate the area. “An unprecedented heat wave has caused fires across Europe, including near Cáceres in Spain.

“WCK continues to monitor fires across Europe and is ready to activate should a food need arise,” he adds.

The chef responded quickly with a direct mention to the Board: “You always have to feed well, especially people risking their lives and working without stopping or rest.
