As EVG's Stacie Joy first reported in August, the cookbook was the idea of 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.
The final product includes more than 100 recipes from an array of local restaurants (C&B Café, Katz's, Nom Wah Tea Parlor, Russ & Daughters, SMØR, Superiority Burger, and Veselka, among many others) and residents (Alan Cumming and Richard Hell, to name two).
Donations for the East Village Community Cookbook start at $30. Proceeds will benefit Trinity Lower East Side Services and Food for the Homeless (SAFH) and community fridge on Ninth Street and Avenue B.
Per the organizers: "Each pre-order comes with a certificate of purchase to send as a quick holiday gift to a loved one!"
