Menu for Hope IV. Calling all foodbloggers from Europe – Appel à tous les blogueurs culinaires d’Europe
Foodbeam. Just in a glance, you’re likely to think ‘wow that girl loves her cake’. Well, I have to admit I do. To me, nothing feels as great as making pâtisserie. Call it an addiction, a passion or whatever, that’s the way it is.
However, as it may not look like, my meals aren’t made of cakes, cookies, entremets and tarts. Nope.
I guess that, as most foodbloggers, I cook/bake more for my blog than for me. Some vegetables, grains, bread, fruits and sometimes, a slice of cake will totally make it for me. But foodbeam? No way. One greedy little blog.
Baking, may it be my absolute passion, is a luxury. And I feel grateful to be able to live up to my dreams. Yet, I realise that many people’s dreams is not to bake. What they dream about is food.
This year, I am proud to be a host for Menu for Hope.
Menu for Hope, a raffle created by Pim, has been running for three years (fourth edition this year!) and raises money for the UN World Food Programme. This time, we’re supporting a specific school lunch program in Lesotho, Africa.
Last year, a fantastic $60,000 was raised and we’re hoping it gets bigger this year.

Menu for Hope est une loterie organisée par Pim pour la quatrième année. Tous les fonds collectés sont reversés au Programme Alimentaire Mondial des Nations Unies. Cette année l’aide ira aux cantines scolaires du Lesotho, Afrique, afin d’encourager les enfants à aller à l’école.
