\"Menu<\/a>So, it has begun! Today is the first day of the Menu for Hope 4<\/strong>! For the next 10 days, I’ll be talking to you about my prize, highlighting others’ prizes and of course, talking about great food!<\/p>\n

Note: Thanks to everyone who commented on the Dolce Italiano contest<\/strong> – we had over 750 entries!! Wow! Shelley<\/a> will be posting the winner shortly on her blog.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Menu for Hope<\/strong> is in its fourth year – and it is the best raffle in the world for cooks and food-lovers alike<\/strong>! All prizes are food or wine related and can vary from gift certificates at a restaurant or a food photography lesson. Last year we raised $65,000 for the United Nations’ World Food Programme<\/strong>. This year, we\u2018re hoping to raise even more for the WFP, and more specifically, for the school lunch program in Lesotho – Chez Pim has some pictures of the people we’ll be able to help<\/a>, as well as supporting the WFP buying from local, subsistent farmers who practice conservation farming.<\/p>\n

Make sure you specify the Ms. Adventures in Italy \u201cArtigianale Basket\u201d<\/strong> of Italian products by using the prize code: EU27<\/strong> You must specify the code while donating – there is no general prize extraction!!
