About The Heroes Cookbook
The Heroes Cookbook is a book dedicated to honoring the heroes of our community and nation. Coming together to break bread and share a meal has always served as an opportunity to bring people together, build bonds of trust and enjoy great food. The Heroes Cook Book is a recipe book which connects every recipe with the service of a veteran, honoring their sacrifice in support of the republic.
Many times while away from home whether in training or deployment, service members often talk about their favorite meals and long to have their loved ones make them when they come home on leave. We want to celebrate that joy by showcasing the food that fuels our heroes and showcases the incredible diversity of culinary cultures which reflects the strength of unity our American identity celebrates.
To accomplish this, we need YOU! We are currently looking for recipes to consider for our first volume. Once we have our first volume published, we will be using a portion of the proceeds to support our partner Veteran Service Organizations.
How YOU can have YOUR recipe Featured!
We are currently looking for recipe submissions! If you know of or are a veteran and you have a recipe you would like to submit, we just need the following information emailed to heroescookbook@gmail.com with “Recipe Submission” in the subject line.
