SSCO Cookbook
The SSCO Little Free Pantry on 19th & StevensPre-Orders are now open for the SSCO Neighborhood Cookbook!
Sharing food and recipes is a way of connecting with others across difference, time, and space. This community cookbook not only contains recipes from your neighbors, but also features your food-related drawings, poems, and stories, and will be a neighborhood food resource available to any resident!
Pre-order your very own Stevens Square Community Cookbook and take part in connecting with your neighbors through food!
There is no payment needed to pre-order! We simply ask for a suggested donation of $10 upon pickup, and free copies will be available upon request. All Cookbook funds will go back into community events!
"I need to hear the bumping of pestles making percussion with sunrise and twilight. I need the scratch of grating tubers and the grinding of spices on stone. I need the sonic world of the ancestors, lullabies said while babies are fed, bawdy songs as the land is smoothed for planting. I need to understand the sound of the wind in the rice and the complexities of the yam mounds intercropped to save space. I need the rustle of the oil palm fronds so I can hear the generations speak."
- Michael W. Twitty
