Why a Cookbook?
Author Jini Aroon recently visited Sri Lanka and saw the destruction caused by the December 26, 2004 tsunami that washed away 30,000 lives and left almost a million people homeless. She felt that even a small contribution on her part can go a long way.
Jini has pledged to donate $5.00 from the sale of each book to the rebuilding efforts through reputable organizations.
