NOLA? Judy Walker reports that Chef Susan Spicer is teaming up with Second Harvest Food Bank for the fourth annual Harvest at Home. Basically, you gather a group of family/friends for an evening of dining at-home in May, and donate the money you saved to fight hunger. You can also donate $250, and receive a bag of groceries and Susan Spicer's recipe, or $500 (which includes an autographed cookbook). More info here. [NOLA.com]
