Making the Table: Vegetarian Recipes to Nourish Community is almost ready!

Making The Table is a celebration of vegetarian cooking as a practice of love. Whether you’re vegan or vegetarian-curious, you’ll find 104 tasty recipes on these pages, plus tips for successful vegan cooking, and stories about what cooking can teach us about building community, growing as people, and bringing forth a liberated future.

The delicious recipes in this book include main dishes, salads, soups, sauces, savory baked goods, and desserts. Most recipes are vegan-friendly, and many are gluten- and nut-free. The book also includes a dozen recipes from Bread Uprising, an anti-capitalist bakery cooperative that existed in Durham, NC from 2009-2015.

Making the Table features drawings by Assata Goff (@assatasmagic); book design and the cover are by Saif Wideman.

The recipes here encourage you to cook with the cycles of the seasons, honor the ancestors who make us and the foods we eat possible, and share comfort food with community. These recipes are the fruits of my work cooking in community for over a decade as a chef, baker, community organizer, and Jewish spiritual leader.

I am so excited to that this creation will be coming to your table soon – in January 2021, G!dwilling – to nourish you and yours.

And finally: To nourish community..
I am encouraging everyone who is supporting the cookbook to also contribute to these organizations who work for food and land justice, and whose work has been so nourishing to this project:

Support Earthseed Land Co-op's Buy Black Debt campaign (now through Winter Solstice) to sustain their work for the long haul!

Support Student Action with Farmworkers' ongoing work for farmworker justice!


Thanks so much for being a part of this labor of love!
