YWCA’s Potluck for Peace Community Cookbook

It’s not uncommon for cultures to use food as a means to further define who they are. Throughout the month of February — Black History Month — we ask our community to contribute recipes that show the rich representation of Black culture through food.

The Community Cookbook will be a collection of recipes from locals; creating a tangible item that will hold history, culture, inspiration, diversity, and delicious food! This heirloom will give you a peek into the way people live, cook, and eat — a time capsule for generations to come!
