Hi there. We’re

.We were a website, and then we were a cookbook, and now we’re sold out! We were a project by illustrators and designers to raise money for New York City restaurants and their employees. We were 38 recipes from 38 restaurants in 2,000 cookbooks, and we donated $40,000 to ROAR’s employee relief fund. We were made possible through the generosity and support of so many people who care about restaurants and helping each other, and we’re grateful to all of you. You can read more here.

THE MATH
Family Meal was a pro bono project, with 100% of proceeds going to the employee relief fund. The math generally worked like this:
     
     $35   THE PRICE
-    $10   COST TO PRINT EACH BOOK
-    $5   COST TO SHIP EACH BOOK
_______________________
=    $20   DONATION FOR EVERY BOOK SOLD
THE DONATION
We sold 2,000 copies, and donated over $40,000.
HELP! I KNOW YOU'RE SOLD OUT
BUT I STILL WANT ONE!
We're all out of books, but you can download the recipes as PDFs below. There won't be a reprint.
