The Artist Cookbook Vol. 2, edited by Carrie Perre

The Artist Cookbook Vol. 2, edited by Carrie Perreault (@carrie_perreault) has just launched and features easy to follow recipes from a wide range of Canadian artists. ⁣
⁣
In addition to recipes, the artists also contributed by making a drawing on a dinner or side plate. The results are fantastic and are being auctioned off with the proceeds to benefit FoodShare (@foodshareto). FoodShare are a non-profit dedicated to solving food insecurity issues in communities across Tkaronto / Toronto. Their work is both critical and urgent. ⁣
⁣
The Artist Cookbooks series started in the winter of 2019 when Carrie emailed artists from across so-called Canada and asked them to share a favourite recipe with her. Perrault's kitchen skills were subpar, but she intended to develop her competence through their guidance. Vol. 1 was the product of this outreach. In the winter of 2021, Carrie once again reached out to some of her favourite artists. The resulting Vol. 2 includes 51 vegetarian recipes from 49 artists.⁣

In order for us to engage in the process of reconciliation, we must educate ourselves on the painful past brought onto Indigenous Peoples and Communities as a direct result of the actions of colonialism in this country.⁣
⁣
We must also understand this is still a current issue.⁣
⁣
As we recognize the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we stand in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples and Communities across the country, and recognize the immense amount of work that needs to be done in order to reconcile the painful history and ongoing impacts of our country’s wrong doings.⁣
⁣
We have a responsibility to do better, and learn from our actions. We encourage you to read about the steps that can be taken in learning about Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, and check out other resources, and areas where you can help (Link in Bio).
