Call for recipes: Roots Cookbook, Celebrating Cultural Diversity

Growing Roots for Healthy Communities: The Cook Book

This year’s Farm to Table Pittsburgh Conference will be happening on March 24th and March 25th at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The theme of this year’s Conference is Growing Roots for Healthy Communities and it’s all about celebrating the diversity of farming and traditional, multi-cultural cooking methods that make eating local fun, educational, and enriching.

We want your recipe- your background- and your story- to be a part of our first ever ROOTS Cookbook! The Cookbook will celebrate the diversity of cultures we have in our region- from American to International, family recipes to new exciting cross-cultural creations.

Food is the great connector in our communities and the ROOTS Cookbook serves as a gathering place for the stories, recipes, and history that bring us together.

The Cookbook will be sold at the Conference, with proceeds benefiting For Good Pittsburgh. For Good works to create positive experiences for individuals in the Pittsburgh area by pairing them with organizations, companies and private citizens who have the desire and the resources to do good. The Cookbook will be available at Farm to Table events

  1. Recipe with ingredient list
  2. Background (where is this recipe from/ what part of the country or world)
  3. Brief 2-3 line story about the recipe if available
  4. Picture of yourself or the recipe or ingredients or picture of a family member who passes along the recipe
