a time to give

If you are a regular food blog reader you know what special place this time of year has in our hearts and wallets. Chez Pim's wonderful fundraiser to feed those who can't afford to put food on their plate "Menu for Hope" is now it's 4th year. A worldwide, blog-based fundraiser which is quite simply brilliant. Menu for Hope is an online raffle with such a wealth of food related prizes for a mere (US)$10 a ticket you'd be a fool not to enter.




Helen from Grab Your Fork is hostess with the mostess once more for collating the Asia Pacific Prizes. From homemade stout to degustations at amazing restaurants, it is once more an exciting treasure trove to whet your donations.

If you really want to get excited, especially if you have any travel coming up in 2008, the worldwide line up of prizes has quitely blown my mind and made me wish I had a trip booked to take advantage of market tours, cooking schools or even a personal tour of elBulli kitchen laboratory at the new Alícia Institute with Ferran Adrià himself. To see the entire line up of prizes and donate towards the cause skip over to Chez Pim's Menu for Hope 4.
