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. ​​
