Charitable Gift Giving

Here’s a great idea from the folks at KitchenAid and Villeroy & Boch. Cook for the Cure – Pass the Plate is a clever program that lets you turn your love of cooking into funding to help cure cancer.

The way it works is pretty clever. You purchase the plate you see to the right, which is completely microwave and dishwaster-safe. The first thing you do is register the plate online (the bottom of the plate has all the instructions). Then. you cook something yummy, and you present your food, along with the plate, to another foodie friend who loves to cook. Your friend then does the same thing, logging on and adding to the history of the plate. You can log in any time and check how far your plate has travelled, and what great food has been served on it.

Aside from being pretty cool to see what recipes people come up with, each time the plate is passed, KitchenAid will donate $5 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
