As you may have noticed it is the holidays and that traditionally means a time for giving(and recieving). I have traveled to India and Asia and have seen the result of not having enough food or what some people like to call starving(no laughing matter). As a food blogger i spend a lot of time talking about gluttony, and sometimes we forget that there are people out there who don't have the luxury of choosing a black or a white truffle. So for the holidays this year I think we should all think about a great charity; chez pim and "The Menu for Hope".
It's goal is to help cure hunger around the world, there website can give you a better idea of what they are about; http://www.chezpim.com/blogs/
Besides helping all the people in need, they have really done a great job collecting prizes that people actually want. Here are some of my favorites;
