The Cookbook
In celebration of ten years of culinary training through Oliver's Kitchen, we are proud to present our first cookbook titled Oliver's Kitchen: The First Decade. The cookbook features recipes from our curriculum that students have worked on in the past 35 classes of Oliver's Kitchen. It also includes a few recipes from the Chef Instructors and Guest Chefs over the years. The cookbook sells for $15 (plus $2 shipping) and all proceeds will benefit Oliver's Kitchen of the Chicago Anti-Hunger Federation. You may purchase a cookbook online, or contact CAHF at 773-252-3663.
