UPDATE: April 3, 2022
Yesterday we sent in another $50 donation — representing our net proceeds from sale of the e-cookbook, plus a little more for a round number. The pop-up continues!
UPDATE: March 23, 2022
Pop-up extended!
Heartfelt gratitude to the many of you who have purchased a copy of ‘21 Recipes’ in support of World Central Kitchen’s efforts for Ukraine. To date, we have sold 64 copies of the e-cookbook. On Monday, March 21 we sent all our proceeds (plus a little extra) to World Central Kitchen. Because orders continue to come in, we are extending the pop-up — and will continue donating all of our proceeds (the cover price less the 45-cent fee Stripe charges us to process each order) to WCK.
We know this is a drop in the bucket, and we encourage you to make a larger donation, if you can, directly to World Central Kitchen.

Have you been seeking a way to help Ukraine? We have an easy answer for those who love to cook: Now through March 20, we’re offering a special pop-up sale of our e-Cookbook — 21 Favorite Recipes from Cooks Without Borders — in support of World Central Kitchen. Normally $7, it’s on sale for just $5 per copy, and we're donating 100% percent of our proceeds* to WCK.
In case you’re not familiar with it, World Central Kitchen (WCK) is the non-profit founded by chef José Andrés with the mission of providing fresh, nourishing meals to communities in need around the world. The organization has been doing incredible work with its Chefs for Ukraine campaign.
Just after Russia launched its full-scale attack on Ukraine, WCK began serving hot meals to Ukrainian refugees crossing into southern Poland through the 24-hour pedestrian border crossing. Since then, WCK has expanded its efforts, and Chefs for Ukraine is feeding people across the region — in Poland, Romania, Moldova, and Hungary. It is also partnering with restaurants within Ukraine to get hot meals to anyone in need.
Grab our e-book to support Chefs for Ukraine’s efforts
Published in January 2021, our $5 e-Cookbook includes 21 of our best original recipes. After you receive your digital copy, we’d like to encourage you to make a separate donation to WCK, if you can. Then cook something delicious, and dedicate your meal to the people of Ukraine.

And please pass on this pop-up invitation to friends who will want to cook for Ukraine!
UPDATE: March 30, 2022
Below are the donations we have made with proceeds from 21 Favorite Recipes from Cooks Without Borders to date. At the end of March, we will make another donation, and continue making proceeds donations monthly for the duration of this drive.
*45 cents of each e-book purchase will be retained by Stripe for processing. We will donate the full $4.55 we collect on each purchase to WCK.
