We admire the work of OzHarvest, which has so far delivered over 30 million meals to those in need by saving 10,000 tonnes of food which would otherwise go to waste. We're pleased to share the details of their new book Urban Harvest - every copy sold allows OzHarvest to rescue and deliver more than 100 meals. Here OzHarvest founder Ronni Kahn, pictured above, introduces OzHarvest and the new book. We have a copy to give away - leave a comment below for your chance to win!

"Food nourishes not only the body but the soul, especially when shared with friends and family. Simple or special, made with fancy ingredients or plain, when food is treated with care and cooked with love, it will make a meal to remember. If you are cooking with home grown veggies, whether cultivated on a balcony or vertical wall, in an expansive garden or old bathtub, the taste and joy is amplified. That is what we have for you here in Urban Harvest, our second OzHarvest cookbook. Urban Harvest represents what OzHarvest stands for: nourishment, goodness and a collective, nurturing team of magnificent people. Fifty of Australia's top chefs have given us their favourite recipes. Editors, writers,  photographers, food testers, food tasters, producers volunteers and Australia's best design team – Frost*collective – have combined their skills to bring Urban Harvest to life." - Ronni Kahn  



Volunteers are the backbone of OzHarvest's many initiatives such as Cooking for a Cause, the CEO CookOff  and Pyrmont Markets. For further information, visit www.ozharvest.org 


OzHarvest collects more bananas than any other tup of fruit. In 2013/14 nine schools received nearly 5 tonnes. This year a single supplier donated more than 60 tonnes of fruit - he couldn't sell it as it was slightly blemished. As well as distributing thousands of tonnes of donated food to those who need it most, OzHarvest has also pioneered a number of ground-breaking initiatives that help raise awareness and build community spirit.


Matt Moran is one of 50 chefs who has shared a recipe. His Roast Chicken with Lemon Herbs is one of his crowd pleasers. "This is my tried and true recipe for the best roast chicken you will ever eat", says Moran.

Mark Labrooy from Sydney's Three Blue Ducks shares the recipe for his deliciously simple Lemon, Polenta and Ricotta Cake



The book is designed as a pro bono project by one of the best in the business – Vince Frost of Frost*collective. He says, "My personal mission in life is to help people. Whether it is a charity, an individual or a major corporation. Everyone needs help and direction in their lives to be the best that they can be. . Ozharvest gives with its huge generous heart relentlessly and is making a huge difference to thousands of people everyday. The Frost* Collective is proud to have designed and produced this book".
