Help for Haiti

… see, food can help in all kinds of ways!

Shortly after the tragic earthquake in Haiti, Lauren, from Celiacteen put out a call that she wanted to publish an e-book to help raise funds for earthquake relief in Haiti.  She has single-handedly pulled together an amazing book with 87 different recipes in it — doing everything from compiling it, to layout, to editing … and getting it set-up so payments would be matched!  All while going to school and coming up with her own gluten-free recipes!

Lauren is an awesome gluten-free cook who is a fellow Vancouver Islander, and just happens to be a teenager!  I encourage you all to check out the full gamut of recipes.   When Lauren originally asked for recipes, she wanted recipes that made us think of/feel at home.  Not all are gluten-free, but many are, and a number of those that aren’t, are easily converted to gluten-free.   I sent her a recipe for lentil soup, and there are lots of recipes from many familiar names in the food blogosphere!

A donation of $10 (or more!) will get you your own copy of the ebook, and if you get one before Feb 12, it will also be matched by the federal government.  Lauren’s parents have also generously offered to match the first $1000!!!  All funds raised by the e-book will be going to the Canadian Red Cross.

So go check it out, get your own copy, and help out some folks in need in the process!
