"East Village Cookbook began with a loose group of residents who met while walking their dogs during COVID, forming an accidental community that was diverse in age, religion, and profession."
"The church's main mission is to feed people, highlighted by its popular soup kitchen, which has been operating for 40 years, showcasing the community's commitment to support one another."
"Horowitz believed that a community cookbook was a good way to raise money and bring people together, allowing them to share their stories through food in a meaningful way."
East Village Cookbook is a collection of over 200 recipes created by East Village residents and restaurants, initiated during COVID. A group of residents formed a community while walking their dogs in Tompkins Square Park. Chef Will Horowitz, who became involved with Trinity Lower East Side church, aimed to raise funds through a community cookbook. The project encouraged submissions in various forms, emphasizing personal connections to food and community stories, ultimately fostering unity in a diverse neighborhood.
