The 2015 Share Recipe Calendar is the perfect present for the foodie in your life. You can purchase the calendar from the M&S website here which features Annie Lennox’s recipe for a porridge and fruit compote.
Inspired by Share: The Cookbook that Celebrates our Common Humanity, each month features a recipe from a world renowned humanitarian and Women for Women International supporter such as Annie Lennox, Kate Spade, Mary McCartney, Sheryl Wu Dunn, Barbara Brocolli and Zainab Salbi.
Share: The Cookbook has sold more than 30,000 copies globally and inspired our supporters to organise shared lunch events, and even create their own cookbook inspired by Share! The book has received media coverage around the globe, including The Daily Mail, Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, The New York Times and The Today Show.
This calendar represents the next step in the Share journey – which all started when three WfWI sponsors came together to do something amazing for women survivors of war.
As Meryl Streep says in the introduction to Share: The Cookbook:
“Nothing more beautifully conveys our interdependence than the food we eat. Access to wholesome food is critical to whether we merely survive… or thrive. Food builds our physical resilience, brings us joy, and strengthens our bonds with friends and family… Food unites us globally…Welcome friends and family to your table. Join me – in celebration of our shared humanity.”
You can buy the calendar online now, and it will be available exclusively from Marks & Spencer stores nationwide from 9th October 2014. A percentage of profits from every calendar sold will go to our work with women survivors of war.
