Taste of Parkdale
COMMUNITY COOKBOOK
Get ready to show off your cooking skills!
Our Community Cookbook is a celebration of the diverse flavours and traditions that make Parkdale unique. Each dish has been submitted by a member of our community, crafted with ingredients that are commonly found at the Parkdale Community Food Bank.
We are not currently accepting submissions for our Community Cook Book! The next submission period will open in September, 2025.
