It’s a luxury and I
am lucky to be able to do this, I am lucky to just be able to prepare a basic
meal to feed myself and my loved ones.
2.2
million Australians are not so lucky and are currently living in poverty. And
by poverty I mean that these people do not have an acceptable standard of
living. Many live without employment, basic health care, a decent education
or proper food. Imagine having to make the difficult choice of not paying rent
to be able to feed your family that week?
One
way you can help is to buy the first issue of The Potluck Club – an e-cookbook comprised of affordable and mighty tasty
recipes donated by food bloggers from around Australia.
All
the proceeds from the sale of The Potluck Club will go directly to Foodbank Australia via The $35 Challenge.
Foodbank Australia is a non-denominational, non-profit organisation who work to distribute excess food from Australia’s
farmers, manufacturers and retailers to charities who are able to supply meals
to those in need.
At $5.95, there is something for everyone in The
Potluck Club. From dishes to share with your family and friends like
Cauliflower Macaroni Cheese, to something more substantial for dinner like slow
cooked pulled pork with BBQ sauce – yes, and yes again. And then there are
times when you just have to listen to your sweet tooth (well, mine certainly
talks to me) and bake up something like Rollo Choc Chip Cookies – a thousand
times, YES. There are a couple of recipes from this blog in there too; my
Mexican style baked eggs and my Pork ribs with sticky, sweet and spicy plumb sauce.
So what are you waiting for? Click on the badge in the right
hand side bar – get the book and start cooking for a tremendous cause.
Ooh yeah, the cauliflower ribs sound so delicious, as do your ribs, of course! Such a great cause.

ReplyDeleteCertainly a worthwhile cause!
ReplyDeleteHi Anna,
ReplyDeleteGreat cause - saw on John's blog this morning. And lovely recipes too, well done for being part of it!
Great cause, I'll definitely check the book out.
ReplyDeleteGreat cause! Great recipes too :)
ReplyDeleteI just happen to be one of those 2.2 million: thank you so much for bringing up even the suggestion that there is another half! Something called 's . . .' may happen in anyone's life because you are simply too honest . . . thank you for understanding!
ReplyDeleteDef getting myself a copy. Love how you were involved in such a great cause and project :) These ribs do look OISOME!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust bought to - thanks to you and John for bringing it to my attention! Good luck and I hope you sell tons of them! And, I look forward to the next volume! Wish we were doing something like that in the States!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cause to be part of. Working in philanthropy for over a year in Melbourne opened my eyes to the amount of unseen poverty and hunger in a city that, from the outside, looks nothing but prosperous. You are right that we are ultimately fortunate to not only have whatever we desire to cook, but to eat and share.
ReplyDeleteI just bought this after reading John's post, but I'm so glad you've contributed too! It really is a great cause.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and a great cause. Sometimes its so easy to forget how lucky we are and to forget that poverty exists in Australia! Love this initiative!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic cause. It really is heart warming that something like this actually happens. And can I just say that those ribs look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning my cauliflower macaroni cheese Anna! It's a great cause and one happily contributed to :)
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough i was just thinking about pork ribs and the BBQ this morning - your recipe will hit the nail on the head, so i'll just have to purchase the book! Foodbank is a great cause - lots of good work going on there.
