Update: This is no longer available as of 9/14/11.
Together we raised $20,000.00 and donated it to the American Red Cross…THANK YOU!!!
It’s here! It’s here!
After literally MONTHS of creating, the “50+ Top Blogs All Time Favorite Recipes” cookbook is HERE!!! You may have seen a sneak peek of this gorgeous recipe book this past month. We hope you have been anxiously awaiting it. 
Now, until the end of August, it’s available for purchase. But wait, scratch that, it’s not a purchase. The best part is…
it’s a donation!
100% of your donation will go to the American Red Cross to help the many people who have been affected by recent natural disasters around the world.
After seeing the devastation in Japan, several top blogs teamed together wanting to somehow make a difference. More than 50 blogs donated one of their favorite recipes to be compiled into an incredible cookbook designed by chickabug (design talent was 100% donated as well). Basically a lot of people worked really hard to make something extraordinary. Now, it’s in your hands to make a difference.
This one-of-a-kind cookbook was originally only going to be offered as an E-book for a $10 donation. But after receiving feedback from readers, we realized that many of you want a physical copy. We approached our favorite publisher, Paper Coterie, who was willing to donate 100% of the supplies, and 100% of the cost of printing for this amazing cause. Are you feeling the warm tinglies yet?! We are!!! This started out as one person having an idea. Now over 50 blogs and an amazing publisher are involved and now it’s YOUR turn.
Together we can will make a difference.
The E-book is for sale here for a $1o donation.
If you have a computer in your kitchen or an electronic reader, (ipad, kindle,etc.) this is the copy for you. You can just click on the recipe you want from the table of contents and it will take you right there. It’s sweet.
The hard cover cookbook is also available, (wait for it…) for only $10.
You will be amazed at the quality of this book. The only extra expense you will have will be for shipping ($4 or more depending on where you live and how many copies you order).
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You can smile knowing you made a difference to someone, somewhere. And you can smile because you will have a beautiful full color recipe book with gorgeous pictures and delicious recipes to try. We truly hope you love the cookbook. We think you will. You might just want to stock up for birthday and Christmas gifts.

Update…FYI
I just read this comment on Sugardoodle’s (awesome blogger in the recipe book) announcement of the book and thought I would share cause THIS is why we are doing this!
“Thank you so much for posting this link! On june 20, 2011 between 2:44 and 2:51 an EF3 tornado ripped through my house. my husband called me about 45 min. before and so i had enough time to get my 4 kids and my dog to the basement. we took a direct hit and the house was leveled! the red cross lady was sitting next to me very soon after and she helped me for days after! so thankful to still have all my family members, pets and that the red cross is out there helping! i will be getting this cookbook!”

Hi – I’m so excited about the cookbook! When you go to order the hard copy – the price says $15, not $10. It’s fine with me but just wanted to check as there is a discrepancy.
Thanks for doing this and good luck!
Sorry about that! The price is corrected!
We went back and forth on price and decided on 10.00 so that with shipping it would stay under $20.00 (or close to). We obviously miscommunicated with the printers. It is now good to go.
I am SO EXCITED! I want to order hard copy books for all my friends. This is such an amazing idea and such a great way to help a great cause! Thanks for the opportunity!
This is such a wonderful idea! I get to help others and help my family by serving them delicious food from these recipes. Win win all around.
So excited about this cookbook! There are so many people in our country and around the world, like in Somalia, who will be helped by these donations.
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this! Yahoo! Can’t wait to order mine and a bunch for gifts. Time to get cookin’! Thanks for reaching out to help others in need!
I have mine! It’s super duper wonderful!
I posted about this today on my blog! How fantastic

I have tried and tried to order this but can’t figure out how to get it in my cart. I created an account, but nothing I click on allows me to order. Can someone help me out?
Sorry for the long process – this company usually prints photobooks that you make and not already finished products. They are working on bypassing the current system, but have not figured out how yet. Here are the steps to get a book to your cart…
https://www.papercoterie.com/promo/recipes-to-help/
click on the picture of the recipe book and then
click on create this book
login or create a login
then click preview
and then add to cart
verify

Thanks for being patient while they try to simplify this process. They are SO generous to do all this for free (for a good cause) and are working hard at trying to make it easier.
It is done, Thank you!
Do you have a list of preview recipes in the book so we know what’s in it before we purchase?
Though there are a few hoops to jump through, IT IS SO WORTH IT! I have seen the preview print-off of this beautiful book, and you are GOING TO WANT IT!
Hey, 10 bucks (plus shipping) for a hard cover inspiring book and you can WRITE IT OFF TO CHARITY? Win, Win!!
