KitchenAid, in cooperation with Villeroy & Boch, introduces a ceramic serving plate that reads “Cook for your friends. Cook for your family. Cook for the Cure.” The plate, marked by a pink ribbon, is meant to be passed to friends and family along with a culinary specialty prepared by the giver. Once the plate is passed, the recipient is then asked to do the same.
Every time the plate is passed and registered at www.CookfortheCure.com/PassthePlate , KitchenAid will donate $5 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Those who register will be able to view their plate’s travels on the site and upload stories, recipes and photos about their pass. More information is available at www.CookfortheCure.com/PassthePlate.
