Menu for Hope V: Fab Londonelicious Prize!

 

You don't know what Menu for Hope is? What, you've been living in the mountains somewhere, cut off from the food blog world? Well, fret not, here's a list of frequently asked questions to answer your every query. Read it and join us! (If you're on Facebook, join us there too.)

What is Menu for Hope?
Menu for Hope is an annual fundraising campaign hosted by Pim of Chez Pim and a revolving group of food bloggers around the world.  Five years ago, the devastating tsunami in Southeast Asia inspired Chez Pim to find a way to help, and the very first Menu for Hope was born. The campaign has since become a yearly affair, raising funds to support worthy causes worldwide. In 2007, Menu for Hope raised nearly $100K to help the UN World Food Programme feed the hungry.

Each December, food bloggers from all over the world join the campaign by offering a delectable array of food-related prizes for the Menu for Hope raffle. Anyone – and that means you too – can buy raffle tickets to bid on these prizes. For every $10 donated, you earn one virtual raffle ticket to bid on a prize of their choice. At the end of the two-week campaign, the raffle tickets are drawn and the results announced on Chez Pim.

What Does Londonelicious and Krista Have to Do with This?
I'm raffling off a prize! I think it's a good one…

EU21: Gift Voucher for Cooking Class at London’s L’atelier des Chefs
	Offered by Krista of Londonelicious.com, Win a £36 Gourmet Gift Voucher to London’s L’atelier des Chefs. The voucher can be redeemed towards any of L’atelier’s London cookery classes. L’atelier des Chefs is a beautiful cooking school in Marylebone. [Shipping:  I'll ship this wherever, but bear in mind, it's only good for the London branch of L'atelier des Chefs.]

OK, I'm on holiday until January 5th. So far, all you have to look forward to is Hummus Brothers. And maybe, just maybe, some photos from Sunday lunch at my friend Richard's flat. Maybe. But trust me, it's not like I'll be starving or anything…
