The People of the Cookbook
Wexner Fellow and Jewish food blogger Ariela over at BakingandBooks.com is raffling up an avalanche of cookbooks, Jewish and otherwise, in support of Hazon, known better as the “People of the Bike” and increasingly as the “People of the Cookbook.”
From now until September 3rd, BakingandBooks.com will be hosting a book raffle in order to raise money for the 2007 New York Jewish Environmental Bike Ride and – thanks to donations from Hyperion Books, Ten Speed Press, Penguin, HarperCollins, Wiley and Chronicle Books – there are 76 prizes up for grabs. For every $5 donation to this very worthy cause participants will be given one virtual raffle ticket – and yes, people with more than one ticket can win more than one prize! You can learn more about this raffle here.
Four Grand Prizes
Four lucky winners will receive a copy of “Forever Summer,” “Jamie’s Italy,” “Mollie Katzen’s Sunlight Cafe” and “The Essence of Chocolate.” That’s right, four books!
4 Grand Prizes
60 individual prizes
Hazon is a nonprofit working towards a healthier and more sustainable Jewish community — as a step towards a healthier and more sustainable world for all. Chip in and eat up.
The bike ride is held by Hazon (www.hazon.org), a Jewish non-profit organization that has been doing some incredible food work over the past few years, educating people across the US about organic farming, sustainable agriculture and food justice. Hazon has created 10 CSA’s (Community Supported Agriculture projects), a Food Conference, and is currently working on food curricula that will teach kids & adults [click here for sample chapters, receive a free copy of the 130-page adult curriculum if you’re a Jewish educator] about a vast array of important topics surrounding Judaism, nutrition and the environment. Hazon’s bike rides raise money for environmental & peace making projects in the US and Middle East. They also fund the CSA’s, the food curricula and the Food Conference.
