Iron Chef Morimoto is serving up recipes to aid his Japanese homeland in Keep Recipes for Recovery, a 21-recipe cookbook filled with Japanese classics, fusions, haute cuisine and more. Donations start at just $10 --proceeds will go to The American Red Cross to help Japan recover from the devastation of the recent earth quake and tsunami. Last month, Chef Morimoto made his singing debut at The Thousand Hearts benefit concert to raise funds and awareness for the survivors of the tragedy. You can still donate to the benefit through Thousandhearts.org and see his vocal performance on YouTube.

Guy Fieri has joined forces with California Lawmakers to encourage families to cook together on Sundays. ABC news reported that while standing outside the State Capitol in Sacramento, Guy asked his audience to shun the drive-thru or microwave meal and replace it with a home cooked meal made with their children.  "Let them stand there and work the sauté pan, let them do the plate up, let them deliver it to the family," said Fieri, "Start them off slow. Educate them as you go." The Senate has adopted the resolution on Family Meals and it now awaits further action.
