The connection between cancer and a sandwich isn’t immediately obvious, but for the last six years, five cents from the sale of every loaf of specially marked Coles Own Brand bread has been donated to Redkite, raising millions of dollars to support children with cancer and their families. Redkite’s partnership with Coles has changed the face of cancer support in Australia, and it’s largely thanks to the unassuming loaf of Coles Own Brand bread, the passionate team who sell it, and the people who buy it. This book is a celebration of the impact this bread and the community have had on cancer support, helping families stay connected and strong as they go through one of the toughest challenges of their lives. I’m thrilled to share my family’s favourite sandwich and I want to thank everyone who has contributed their story and recipe to make this beautiful book something special, including the families Redkite has supported. I also want to thank Coles, for their unwavering belief that no family should face their child’s cancer alone. Every sandwich in this recipe book tells a story... stories of courage, hope and love. I hope you enjoy reading these stories and that they inspire you to make the sandwiches that mean so much to the families who shared them. There is still a long way to go before we can say that Redkite is there for every family facing their child’s cancer. For my family, Coles Own Brand bread is our bread of choice... we love knowing that with every sandwich, we are making a difference. mOnique kEigHEry Redkite CEO 4 cOnTenTs sushi sandwich ..............................................................................P6 brookey’s club sandwich ..........................................................P8 brookey’s special fried bread ham cheese toastie ...................................................................P10 vegemite and avo smash ......................................................
