A unique book featuring recipes and articles by top international chefs, culinary experts and wine writers - all profits will benefit the long term recovery of victims of the Boxing Day 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster.
The book contains over 120 recipes, divided into courses including brunch, starters, salads, fish, poultry, meat, vegetables and rice, baking and desserts. The recipes are supported by many colour pictures.
Contributors include Jane Asher, Ed Baines, Mary Berry, Ross Burden, Antonio Carlucio, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Keith Floyd, Sophie Grigson, Ainsley Harriott, Ken Hom, Nigella Lawson, James Martin, Jamie Oliver, Garry Rhodes, Anthony Worrall Thompson and many others. Yours truly, Pat Chapman, contributed eight recipes including six from the six Tsunami countries involved in the Tsunami devastation.
East meets West was compiled by two British women, Barbara Jayson MBE and Jenny de Montfort, who met whilst living in Indonesia. Barbara was responsible for establishing The Foundation for Mother and Child Health in Indonesia and was recently awarded her MBE for charitable work. Jenny was born in Sri Lanka and has kept up close
links with the island.
Accent Press, founded by Hazel Cushion, recent winner of the Pandora Women in Publishing Prize, is well
known for its charity titles.
A great gift for the adventurous cook who likes all cuisines.
The publisher, compilers, photographers and all the authors donated their work free of charge. This enables all profits (around £2.50 from each book sold) to go directly to the The Foundation for Mother and Child Health to assist with the long term rehabilitation of children and their parents affected by the tsunami.
Update, August 2007: The book has already raised over £250,000 for the Tsunami funds. But there is a still great deal of work to be done out there. You can still get a copy from us and contribute to the fund. A great book for you or to give as a gift.
