Finally, we have a massive opportunity for you to get involved in our Cook Book, 'From our kitchen to yours: A legacy of flavour and hope'
We would love for you to send in your favourite recipes, ones that stir (sorry) memories of a loved one, a cherished one, a fighter or maybe a warrior..
We decided that this doesn't have to be breast cancer related and can be a story from anyone, anywhere who has suffered any kind of loss or is a survivor of any kind of illness/condition..
From your grandma's cookies and apple crumbles to dad's steak and ale pie.. Really, truly anything.
We are particularly interested in other cultures, drinks and allergen safe too..
All we need from you: The ingredients & the method, a possible picture of the finished item (with or without people in the image) and a story that goes with it.. Doesn't have to be an essay, can be a matter of a few words... Words of love, words of loss but more importantly (for every condition) words of HOPE.
We currently do not have a launch date for this but the wonderful team at have stepped in to sponsor this very special fundraiser.
Please feel free to DM with any questions, and if you already have a recipe ready, please email it to the below using 'recipe of hope' in the subject header and if your email address does not contain your name, please make sure we know who you are.
