Just US$10 could get you George's book. Australian readers, the exchange rate is excellent at the moment and will only cost you a few cents over AUD$11.
My contribution to Menu4Hope09 is the wonderful cookbook from Australian chef and Masterchef judge George Colambaris - Greek Cookery from the Hellenic Heart.
If you are an Australian food blogger you may think George's book is the last thing you want on your shelf. Buy a ticket and show George we don't hold grudges. We are food lovers and we are prepared to forgive those who should know better.
Bidding is open from December 14th - December 25th. Winners will be announced on Chez Pim at the end of the campaign.
Money is collected by First Giving. Donors can make an on line (tax deductible in the US) donation with a credit card.

This prize is open to everyone. I will ship it to wherever you are in the world. .
