As discussed in this episode:
As promised, here is the link to Israel’ mom’s cookbook. It’s an e-book and you can buy it either on Amazon or on Gumroad (I believe she prefers Gumroad as it is a bit more user friendly, but either way is fine). Israel was also generous enough to share screenshot for the Carlotta recipe (which in the cookbook is referred to as a Cold Lime Pie), as well as a Pineapple variation of it.
About Community Food Navigator:
The Community Food Navigator is community-powered and addresses challenges we face in the food system, such as accessing land, water, infrastructure, and funding. It is also a safe space for growers, producers, and organizers to share information, create community, and expand their work alongside others within the food system.
Community Food Navigator builds more resilient systems that prioritize:
• Food sovereignty for all residents
• Collective care and attention to need
• Equitable opportunities for Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities
• Circular and sustainably focused design
• Education on the roles we all play in the production and consumption of food
