What better way to celebrate our diverse cultures and traditions than through the universal language of food? The DEI and Health & Wellness Committees are excited to announce the creation of the Allenby Family Cookbook, and we need your help to make it happen!
We’re inviting all families to share recipes that are meaningful to them, along with the stories behind them. This is more than just a cookbook—it’s an opportunity to celebrate our different cultures and traditions and to help us understand and appreciate one another more deeply. Whether it’s a cherished holiday dish or a meal that brings your family together, we’d love to showcase it in our community cookbook.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Step-by-step recipe for a dish that holds special meaning to your family.
- A short story sharing why this recipe is important to you. Tell us about its background—do you prepare it for a special occasion, or during a particular time of year? What is the tradition and history behind it, and why does it matter to your family?
- A photo of the finished dish.
- Optional: A photo of your family cooking or enjoying the dish together!
To submit your recipe, please send it to Allenby DEI. The final deadline to submit is January 30, 2025. We’ll be sending occasional reminders in the newsletters, so keep an eye out!
This is a community effort, and all are welcome to participate—parents, teachers, administrative staff, and Allenby alumni. The more, the merrier!
We can’t wait to see the wonderful recipes and stories that highlight the rich cultural diversity of our school community. Let’s cook up something special together!
