When people you love are battling cancer, or facing another major life change, often the best thing you can do for them is to offer your love, support, and a delicious homemade treat, beautifully packaged and delivered to their door.

Along with a little help from some well-known Breast Cancer Cure Ambassadors, beloved foodie Allyson Gofton has put together a delightful collection of recipes that are straightforward to make and perfect for gifting. A jar of preserves, a jar of relish, a cake, or a family meal for the freezerβ€”all the recipes in this collection are seasonal and cost-effective and capture the vibrant splendour of the garden's harvest at its peak.

Rekindle the Kiwi spirit of giving and bring a little sunshine into the life of someone who needs a pick-me-up with Give.
