Andrea's Heating it up in the Kitchen

Oz Harvest, Mission Australia and Qantas have combined to put together the first ever CEO Cookoff. 

Over 100 CEO’s from around the country, put together with 28 of Australia’s best Chefs will see them feeding over 1000 homeless on February 6^th. 

Leaving Canada in the middle of 1998 without a plan or a thought towards what I was going to do, and with $300 in my pocket, I landed in Brisbane.  3 months into my journey I was robbed whilst I was sleeping.  He took everything I had, my passport, my wallet, my credit cards, even my sunglasses. 

At the time I was crazy enough to chase the offender through the campsite I was staying in and eventually catch him.  It was a dangerous act, and one of impulsive action but it was done through fear and terror of everything I had being taken away from me.  I only had $300 to my name and someone was ripping it out of my hands.

I had never been so scared and frightened.  I didn’t have a back up plan, or an option to get money from anywhere or anyone else.  I did what fear told me to do, without rhyme or reason and acted on it.

This fear was monumental, which makes me only imagine how significant it must be to feel that way every day of your life.  Hence why I’m so passionate about this opportunity to support and participate with the CEO Cookoff. 

Now, my cooking skills leave lots to be desired as pretty much everything I make tastes wonderful (or so my husband says) but looks shocking – so I’m really hoping that there are no scores for presentation!

The event kicks off on February 6^th where the likes of Alan Joyce and Neil Perry will showcase their talents or lack there of, combined with the rest of us mere mortals. 

I would love your support in helping me achieve my goal of $8000 towards the cause.  Each and every cent goes to Ozharvest and Mission Australia (Qantas is footing the bill for everything else) so to increase your support; I’ll sweeten the deal….

For donations $100 and OVER:

I’ll bake you something delicious (again, not it may not look good but taste wonderful)

I’ll video the process (this is not going to be pretty, but most likely hilarious)

I’ll send you the baked goods, the video and the ingredients to make it yourself (so you can make it look much better than mine)

Every penny counts and helps someone in need so they dont' have to be afraid.

Thanks for your support !
