Blog Aid: recipes for Haiti

Blog Aid Cover.indd

Have you heard about the Blog Aid Cookbook yet?  If not, there’s great news ahead. You can help the survivors of the Haitian earthquake with just a click of your finger. Pretty cool, huh?

It’s all thanks to Dinner with Julie’s Julie Van Rosendaal who, mere hours after we all learned of the seriousness of the quake damage, emailed a group of bloggers and asked if we would send her recipes and pictures for a fundraising book she wanted to create to help the disaster victims.  Julie’s an old friend so I complied immediately. Apparently quite a few others did as well. The result, just three weeks later (!!) is a wonderful, full colour, print-on-demand cookbook.

All proceeds from the book sales will go to Haitian relief via the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders and, as if that weren’t cool enough, the people who helped bring the book to life, - West Canadian Graphics and Blurb are matching the proceeds raised. Likewise, if you purchase before February 12th, the Canadian government will match the total, too. It’s a trifecta of charity people!

Besides Julie and I the book is jam packed with recipes by other popular bloggers including:
