The count down is on.

Menu For Hope VI is set to end on the 31st December, 2009.

No more chances to win any of the fabulous prizes on Tomatoes' list. Or any from the list of world prizes at Pims.

Just a quick recap of my prize. It's one prize of two seats to a dinner or lunch at my place. Several hours of the best food and wine you could imagine.

How good can that be?

Many of you that follow me know I forage. There are plenty of dried morels on hand for instance. Saw some at the Essential Ingredient...at $5 each one! Care to have a real taste of them without counting the cost?




If truffles were in season when you came, there'd be a dish or two of them, or perhaps you'd prefer to try freshly imported chanterelles or even fresh porcini from my freezer. The only person in the whole world who likes mushrooms more than me is Antonio Carluccio...maybe.

Want another reason to come?

In case you missed it, I'm also slightly wine geeky and love putting on interesting and exciting wines from anywhere in the world. If you were to order this lot in a restaurant, they would probably set you back around $800, these are ready to go from my cellar.





It's not really possible to put a value on such things, but if you were to get the same quality of ingredients and wines in a restaurant, I'd imagine you'd need to pay $400 to $500.

You, on the other hand, get a chance at all this just for the cost of a raffle ticket. Go to Firstgiving before it's too late, I'd love to have you over.
