A little while back I blogged about Lauren at Celia Teen who had the great idea of requesting recipes from fellow food bogglers to put together a recipe ebook for sale. All funds for this book would go to Haiti.
I was more then happy to participate and contributed a recipe to be included in this amazing effort. She first posted her idea on Jan 15th. Today she release the ebook for sale…in 3 weeks. Wow that is amazing. Lauren is just phenomenal. I am so happy to have discovered her blog and thoguh the occasional exchange gotten to know a bit about her. She has a heart of gold and gets things done too.
I strongly suggest you too help out and buy the A Hand for Haiti Recipe Ebook she created. Its a minimun donation of 10$ but you can give more if you like. Here is a bit of info on the book:
All proceeds will do to the Red Cross. Â The Canadian Red Cross that is. Â You see, I am Canadian so it only makes sense to donate to this one. Â Also, it has been in Haiti for many years, so they will be able to use the funds to help as in the best areas possible. Â And here’s the really important part: the Canadian Government will match all donations received by February 12th, that are marked for Haiti Relief (as I will be doing to these). Â They are matching donations made by individuals as well as those made from fundraisers for Haiti (like this ebook) by schools, businesses, social groups (that is what I believe we are, as blogging is a community of people, in this case coming together around food), etc.
Of course, you may continue to purchase the ebook and donate after the 12th, but getting it matched makes it just that much better!  There are 87 recipes contributed by 71 fantastic people.  They are a collection of home.  People from all over the world have provided recipes that bring them comfort.  I have loved looking through them, and can’t wait to cook them!  I hope you do too.
