Top celebrity chefs, including Gordon Ramsey, Brian Turner and Delia Smith, have donated recipes to a cook book produced by BUPA to raise funds for three cancer charities and celebrate the company's 60th anniversary.

The book, Around the World in Sixty Dishes, goes on sale today. BUPA also secured contributions from employees across the globe - including Spain, Bolivia and the Middle East - who donated recipes to the publication.

Through sales of Around the World in Sixty Dishes, plus a contribution of £5,000 by the company itself, BUPA aims to raise an estimated £30,000 for cancer charities. Funds raised will be split equally between Cancer Research UK, The Christie's Appeal for the Christie's Hospital in Manchester and The Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign.

The idea for the recipe book was devised and developed by BUPA staff and is supported by BUPA through its Community Connections initiative, which encourages employees to volunteer help and support to the local communities in which they live and work.
