COOKBOOK RAFFLE FOR ST JOHN OF JERSUAELM IN GAZA
The Guild of St John Eye Hospital launches its Cookbook Raffle for St John of Jerusalem in Gaza
Food is heritage, community, and sustenance – and at a time when families in Gaza face great hardship, we want to celebrate Palestinian cuisine and
remember how food has the power to bring people together across cultures.
That’s why we’re hosting our signed Cookbook Raffle for St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group in Gaza - a chance to celebrate great food while supporting a hospital that saves sight and changes lives every day.
The Guild of St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital have been raising money for St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group for nearly 100 years, and we are proud to continue that tradition in times of the greatest need.
By entering, you’ll support St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group’s team in Gaza - the only charitable providers of eye care in the region, treating everyone regardless of religion, ethnicity, or ability to pay.
Thanks to the generosity of chefs, authors, and publishers, we are raffling an extraordinary collection of signed cookbooks — from classics to modern favourites.
Just one ticket could win you:
● Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi - bold, colourful, Middle Eastern-inspired flavours
● Comfort and Simple by Yotam Ottolenghi - more Middle Eastern-inspired flavours
● Akub by Fadi Kattan - Palestinian food heritage celebrated
● A New Way to Bake by Philip Khoury - Lebanese pastry artistry
● The Square by Phil Howard - recipes from one of the country's finest chefs
● Cinnamon Kitchen by Vivek Singh - spices and cultural exchange

● All Consuming by Ruby Tandoh - the evolution of the food we eat
● Books from Melissa Hemsley, Sophie Wyburd, Max Rocha, Tom Aikens, Milli Taylor, Em the Nutritionist, Xanthe Ross, Tom Gilbey and many more inspiring voices from the food world.
This raffle is a food lover’s dream collection, and every book tells a story of creativity, connection, and culture.
