During the BlogHer Food conference back in September, I had the pleasure to attend a fantastic panel titled, "How Food Blogs Can Save the World." In it, panelists discussed how food bloggers everywhere can create, promote and participate in blogging…
There’s less than 36 hours left to bid on the incredible array of prizes for this year’s Menu for Hope campaign. At the time of this posting, we just crested over $40,000 smackeroos donated for this very worthy cause. But it takes a lot of money to feed a lot of hungry people, so keep bidding! I know I’m not done yet.
As you surely know by now, I am offering up one autographed copy of DPaul’s and my homegrown cookbook, Cookin’ at the Castello (prize code UW26), as well as one 8×10 glossy print of any image from the book itself. As a final enticement, I leave you with this, the last recipe in the book, for a seriously delicious persimmon skillet cake.
Last year, some friends inherited an enormous shopping bag full of ripe fuyu persimmons, which they promptly handed off to us. Subsequently, we baked off roughly a dozen of these cakes, bringing them to various holiday parties and whatnot. The spicy-sweet flavor of persimmons goes very nicely with the gingerbready cake, and though it has major wow factor, this cake is actually very easy to make.
This cake is modeled after the pear skillet cake that Sam’s mom used to make at Bi-Rite when it first opened nearly a decade ago. We lived around the corner from the market then, and must have bought a few hundred of those cakes while she was cranking them out.
But there are oh, so many other lovely recipes in our book! Paella! Kofta! Possibly other things that end in ‘a’! And an explanation of the meaning of the title, which will remain a mystery except to the winning bidder. Oh, the intrigue!
Of course, there are gobs of other amazing prizes to be bid upon. Yes, even more fabulous than ours:
You have until 6 pm PST tomorrow for your chance at any of these amazing prizes — more than 200 to choose from. So what the hell are you waiting for? Go bid now! Full instructions after the jump.
As of this morning, Menu for Hope has generated more than $25,000 to feed the hungry. It is my duty to make you hungry for more. Here's another excerpt from my offering to the campaign. The campaign ends Friday. So…

Like I said, I'm a giver. In fact, I'm so much of a giver that I'm giving away someone else's shit, using someone else's money! It's what I do best. I'm thrilled to announce that my evil overlords dear friends…
