Here's my Broccoli salad... been making this for over 25 years and its always a winner! 2 heads raw broccoli chopped into bite size pieces, 1/2 cup diced onion, 1/2 cup grated cheese, 1/2 cup raisins" Dressing: 1 cup of dressing (i use WW mayo!) 1 tbsp vinegar, 1/4 sugar. I often add other 'bits' to the salad such as pineapple pieces chopped, nuts, celery or whatever you have on hand. Enjoy.

Or alternatively you could wait for the book to be published then buy a copy as that is what this is all about I thought - fundraising for Christchurch!

Well said maynard9 - the purpose of this is to raise funds for ChCh - also recipes are coming in via TM members on facebook so there are recipes coming in that will not be listed under their topic.We are also endeavouring to have a celebrity section as well and those recipes will be going directly into the book and not posted on here.The object is we want to raise money and hopefuly by people buying this book it will also be a small piece of memrobelia (sp) as well. Thanks
