Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this book from Operations Blessing, via Frontgate, free of charge, for review purposes on this blog. No compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it, all opinions are my own.
I know Valentine's Day is fast approaching, but this year, instead of flowers that die, or candy no one wants while struggling with New Year's resolutions, how about giving something that gives back and blesses struggling families and children, both here in American and abroad?
Meet a new charity (to us): Operation Blessing!
For over four decades, Operation Blessing has shared God’s love by alleviating human suffering in every state and over 90 nations. But they are unique in that they PARTNER with different programs, rather than running everything from their charity directly. Their generous partners provide:
• Clean water to thirsty people in remote villages and disaster zones
• Food to famine victims, long-term hunger solutions for developing communities, plus groceries and support for struggling families here in America
• Medical care and life-changing surgeries for men, women, and children in desperately poor regions of the world
• Disaster relief to those devastated by hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, and other catastrophes
This year, Operation Blessing has come up with an unique way to share about the many amazing cultures they help- by sharing the rich sights, smells, and tastes of those cultures in an amazing recipe booklet.
Enjoy tasty treats from many countries where Operation Blessing and our partners are changing lives, including here in Louisiana. I think there might have been some extra blessings from this amazing book, as the book shared about a Louisiana resident who was helped by Healing Place Church, an Operation Blessing program, and she and her children were pictured in LSU shirts. Hmmmmmm...maybe some divine intervention gave us that perfect record???
Joking aside, Operation Blessings does some really great work and this booklet has 34 international recipes (ALL with pictures), ranging from breakfast, side & main dishes, breads & desserts and drinks. The recipes originated from 15 countries namely Honduras, Mexico, Peru, Kenya, Israel, Haiti, Guatemala, El Salvador, Japan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, China, and United States. There are some pretty tasty dishes and I was glad to see a few Filipino recipes I hadn't seen since childhood, that my mother learned to cook from friends!
