# Digital Cookbook Charities The Culinary World Helps Japan with 'KeepRecipes for Recovery' By Matt Ho | Published 2011-04-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keeprecipes-for-recovery References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2011/04/06/keeprecipes-japan-cookbook/) & [donate.keeprecipes](http://donate.keeprecipes.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-tokyo-gourmet). There will be 21 recipes in total, which will be combined into one [digital cookbook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-more). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baja-style-shrimp-tacos)." 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Digital Cookbook Charities:** Creating digital cookbooks for charity fundraising. - **Culinary Industry Collaboration:** Chefs coming together to support a cause through food. - **Donations Through Digital Content:** Using digital cookbooks as a way to raise funds for charity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Culinary:** Opportunity for chefs and restaurants to contribute to charitable causes. - **Digital Publishing:** Creating and distributing digital cookbooks to support fundraising efforts. - **Charity and Non-profit:** Utilizing digital content to raise money for relief efforts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital QSR-Backed Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shared-table.md) - [Supportive School Meal Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-for-two-usa.md) - [Food Sharing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totallychefs.md) - [Global Recipe Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ive-been-cooking.md) - [Recipe Management Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefs-library.md) - [One-Star Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-star-cookbook.md) - [Digital Recipe Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recipe-hub1.md) - [Amalgamated Cookbook Directories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-book-love.md) - [Recipe Monetization Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-recipes.md)
