The East Village Community Cookbook is ready to be released into the wild. 

As we first reported in August 2023, three East Villagers who bonded during the pandemic — Will Kroeze, pastor at Trinity Lower East Side, Dan Hyatt, a middle school teacher, and Will Horowitz, a chef and author who co-founded Ducks Eatery and Harry & Ida's Meat and Supply Co. — decided to create an old-school neighborhood cookbook. 

The book, created to benefit the Trinity Lower East Side and its longtime food pantry, took longer than expected. Pastor Will told us in May: "What originally was going to be a DIY project is turning into a real design masterpiece and is going through several rounds of edits." 

Now, the authors say the cookbooks have been printed and are ready for release on Nov. 21. We got a sneak peek the other day ... the publication includes illustrations by East Village-based artist Marcellus Hall ...
A variety of East Village chefs and restaurants, artists and galleries, writers, residents and activists contributed... including (in no particular order) Katz's, Momofuku, Richard Hell, Veselka, Superiority Burger, Alan Cumming, Café Mogador, Chloe Wise, Ray's Candy Store, Casa Adela, Veniero's, B&H Dairy, Bonnie Slotnick, Marco Canora of Hearth, Mimi Cheng, SOS Chefs, Russ & Daughter's, among many others. 

The initial print run was 5,000 copies. Preorders are still being accepted. Details here.
