Masterchefs come to dinner

MASTERCHEFS Nicole Stevenson and Ben Ungermann will make their way to Springfield Central's Main Street as part of a major fundraiser for Ipswich Hospice Care.

The group will host its inaugural Jacaranda Dinner next month, transforming Main St at Orion Springfield Central for a black tie function hoping to raise $20,000.

The Ipswich born and bred members of MasterChef 2017 will be on hand to meet and greet guests, serve canapés and share their stories.

Ipswich Hospice Care general manager Paul Brew said the dinner would help the seven bed palliative care facility raise some of the $1m a year it needed to continue operating.

The Jacaranda Dinner on April 28 would include a five-course mini degustation menu prepared by Jason Davidson and the team from Figjam, paired wines, live entertainment and a host of raffles and auctions.

Tickets are available until April 20 at $155 per person.
