With the incredible number of shirts and artworks available to support Japan, it's only natural that the culinary industry gets involved, too. A site called 'KeepRecipes for Recovery' bands chefs together for a great cause. Some of the culinary heavy-weights that have joined include Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto and Anita Lo.
The concept behind 'KeepRecipes for Recovery' is for famous chefs to create original Japanese-inspired dishes. There will be 21 recipes in total, which will be combined into one digital cookbook. Users will be able to download the cookbook with donations of $10 or more, and according to Mashable.com, "KeepRecipes will donate 86 cents for every dollar of revenue to the American Red Cross."
It's an incredibly creative idea and I strongly encourage anyone to check it out if they're looking for another way to donate money to help out Japan.
