menu for hope 5
menu for hope is an initiative by pim at chez pim to raise money for the united nations world food programme. last year we managed to fundraise almost $100,000 and this year we hope to do the same. to support this wonderful cause i am contributing two prizes.
food tour - prize reference: eu05
i am offering to take you on a customised foodie day out in london. depending on what aspects of london’s culinary abundance you are interested in , i will create a special day just for you. perhaps you want to visit the world-famous borough market. how about soho’s china town or tooting’s asian market stalls and shops? have you explored the fabulous food-halls of london’s famous department stores? or maybe you’d prefer a tour of the capital’s chocolate shops? it’s entirely up to you!
damian allsop chocolates - prize reference: eu06
i recently triedthe fabulous christmas chocolates that damian allsop created for fortnum & mason and am offering to buy and ship (anywhere in the world) a box of these just for you. damian is unique in his use of water-based ganaches which creates fabulously intense flavours. which is exactly what you want, when those flavours have the imagination of pear and anise, coffee and passion fruit, salty liquorice, and the pine-flavoured “christmas.”
donate here for your chance to win these, or one of the other amazing prizes - sara will list details of all the european prizes and pim will have the total list.
how to bid for a prize:
