I haven't thought much about what comes after this project, so I think I will just let it flow and see what happens. What I do know, is that it will be definitely related to food!
Casa London: What have you to say to potential buyers? What differs Forest City Cookbook from other culinary books?
Ali: I’ll say you're not buying just a cookbook; you're buying a unique community experience! Our hope is to bring the city together to make this happen and the beauty of it all is that everyone is welcome to participate. The Forest City Cookbook won't be a typical cookbook; it won’t just be filled with 125 amazing recipes created by our local culinary artists, but it will contain stories, history, art, and most importantly great people. We expect it to be aesthetically beautiful but also very useful. You will be able to use it for cooking, reading, learning about our local history, planning your next dinner at a restaurant, or finding new places to buy your ingredients. In addition, by getting a copy, you are helping to keep the Forest City alive, as we'll be donating 10% of printing costs back to ReForest London, to planting trees and support the Million Trees Challenge.
You can order your Forest City Cookbook at forestcitycookbook.com, follow this culinary adventure (and we even may say a culinary revolution) on Facebook and Instagram, and get your printed copy by Spring 2018.
