front cover of Blog-Aid Recipes for Haiti cookbook
Julie Van Rosendaal (@dinnerwithjulie ) is an amazing woman. Within three weeks she miraculously put together a (fundraising) cookbook with 100% of the proceeds going towards the Haiti relief efforts. I am happy to announce Julie’s compassionate vision became reality today. This gorgeous cookbook went on sale this morning and already has raised over $20,000 (with matching contributions by West Canadian Graphics, Blurb, and the Canadian government) to be donated to Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders.
Twenty-seven chefs, food writers, and bloggers (myself included) contributed 72 recipes and beautiful photos for “Blog Aid – Recipes For Haiti Cookbook” which is available for purchase in hardcover ($50 US) or softcover ($25 US).
Please consider supporting this cookbook. The sale of each cookbook will help the relief efforts in Haiti and will impact the lives of many.
Julie: Thank you for inviting me to collaborate in such a meaningful, beautiful project. Your vision, compassion, and hard work will impact the lives of so many people. You’re awesome, lady!
