THE BLOGGERAID COOKBOOK … a cookbook with a heart!

Bloggers Uniting to Aid in the Alleviation of Hunger…
We’ve been at it for a while. It all began with 2 wonderful, large hearted and fabulous ladies who joined forces in aid of world hunger. Val @ More Than Burnt Toast & Giz @ Equal Opportunity Kitchen began weaving a dream, an almost impossible dream, but hey, they did it! They focused on expanding their message and how to help others in need, in this worldwide crisis of world hunger. Val & Giz launched BloggerAid, and united a band of bloggers from across the globe, inspiring us to create & contribute original recipes for a cookbook.

Now finally, after many months of editing, checking, re-editing, designing covers, giving suggestions, voting on the cover etc, we are excited. The members of BloggerAid-Changing the Face of Famine, have published a cookbook where 100% of the proceeds target children and education through the World Food Programme called School Meals. Purchases can be made by clicking here.

Do you like the book cover? (I am editing my post to reflect Giz’s comment.) Actually, the idea for the ‘globe nestled in a pair of small hands’ for the cover was one I suggested much earlier during the design stage. I was amazed at the response & passion it evoked at the time. Was even more ecstatitic to know that it finally won in the voting stage by a large margin. The photographs for the cover (this one & the other proposed one) were both taken by a fabulous Sydney lifestyle blogger, Peter G of Souvlaki For The Soul. He is an extremely talented food blogger and photographer.
The BloggerAid-Changing the Face of Famine Cookbook is now available through the Create Space estore. The estore is a connection of Amazon. You won’t find the book on the Amazon.com site – royalties for the School Meals Programme are much higher through the estore. The children need as much support as we can give them!!!

This side, ‘Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes & French Beans’ was my contribution to BloggerAid for our special cookbook. There are exciting recipes from across the globe to be found within this beautiful book. The BloggerAid Cook Book is a collection of international recipes illustrating that we can work together and unite for a greater cause. The over 130 authors of this cookbook are food bloggers from around the world who have endeavored to make a difference by raising funds for the World Food Programme and encompassing their passion for “all things foodie” at the same time.
…We are a growing group of international food bloggers determined to make a difference in aid of world famine. The love of food and community that brings us together drives the compassion of its members to reach out to our world to help those less fortunate than we are. Banded by a mission of helping to make a change in a world where starvation affects such a profound number of people, we will raise money and awareness for the hungry in communities both at home and abroad.
100% of BloggerAid-CFF’s proceeds from the cookbook will be sent directly to the WFP’s School Meals Programme, which benefits an average of 22 million hungry children each year. School meals are important on many levels. In countries where school attendance is low, the promise of at least one nutritious meal each day boosts enrollment and promotes regular attendance. Our children are the key to a better future.
