Menu For Hope 4: Kick-off

I apologise for being late in promoting Menu For Hope 4 this year. Last year, we did very well by raising USD62,925.12 to support the UN World Food Programme. This year, it will be no different. For more information on who is the beneficiary this year, check what is Menu For Hope. It's something like a FAQ.

Due to my limited free time, I only managed to get very little sponsors this year round. Hopefully I will get more to join me in offering something for the cause. Will post that up once I get my prize codes later today.

Please go to Grab Your Fork to check our regional round up. Imagine winning Nigella Lawson Kitchen Utensils set in cream worth AU$160... WOW!!!

Don't forget to drop by Chez Pim for the international round-up of prizes. There are a lot of attractive prizes including a personal tour of elBulli kitchen laboratory at the new Alícia Institute with Ferran Adrià himself, well you'll need to buy your own air ticket though!

You can also browse prizes by region by visiting the regional host blogs:

US: West Coast: Rasa Malaysia
US: East Coast: Serious Eats
