Cooking for a Crowd: Solidarity Edition

In my family, the ultimate way of showing someone you love them is making them food.

We couldn’t visit my grandfather’s house growing up without eating a little prosciutto and cheese, or taking home a tupperware of red sauce or a paper bag of veggies from his garden. My mom always sent me back to college with a quart bags of frozen leftovers: her famous bolognese sauce, my favorite tomato soup. When a friend is going through medical treatments or loses a loved one, you bet my family will be there with a lasagna or a pot of soup.

I don’t know all my neighbors, but I care about them. And that means I’m going to cook them some food.

For the past few years, I’ve cooked for the Friday Café, a free hot meal served up by the First Church in Cambridge every Friday. This zine covers what I’ve learned so far about cooking for a crowd in solidarity.
