In response to a global pandemic, chefs, restaurants and bartenders from across Toronto are contributing to a free online cookbook. Open Source Recipes to be Used in Quarantine During a Global Pandemic is a resource that can be accessed online or downloaded as a PDF, and it contains recipes from popular places across the city. In the cookbook, users can learn to make Patti's basic sourdough from the owner of Robinson Bread, pickled jalapenos, beef pho, pepperoni pizza and more from favorite destinations.
Nick Chen-Yin, former co-owner of Smoke Signals in Toronto, came up with the idea, which serves as "an open-source toolkit that everyone and anyone can access during a time of heightened need."
