As last year, and the three years before that, Pim is organized the biggest found rasing of the food blogosphere: Menu for Hope!

Last year we raised more then 100.000 $ for the World Food Program, and this year we would love to raise even more!!!

I decided to put together an Italian & French hamper for this year (code EU16, sent to Europe only), made of:

– homemade dates chutney

– homemade cantuccini (hard cookies, filled with almond and pinenuts)

– Italian traditional torrone

– Marmellata di mandarino tardivo, from Sicily

– Rilettes d’oie façon Landaise (goose paté)

– Terrines de Faisan aux Noisettes (pheasant paté)

– Paté de Campagne, pur porc (porc paté)

– Terrine de Canard aux Cèpes (duck paté with porcini mushrooms)

– 3 spread: Crevettes au Calvados (Calvados shrimp), Thon a l’olive noir (black olive tuna) and Huîtres et Wakamé (oysters and wakame)

And if you are interested, with my Italian blog and altogether with my friend Sara, the host for Europe, we are offering something too:

Milan Walking Tour with Breakfast, Open-air Market, Food Lovers’ Highlights and Aperitivo for 2 people: start your walking tour with a classic Italian breakfast, stroll through an open-air fruit and vegetable market and then head to the historic center of Milan for a traditional Italian aperitivo with a few food lovers’ highlights on the way. Duration: 4-5 hours. Saturday only, or Sunday w/o markets.

Code: EU14
