Big news!
Food security heroes Made In Hackney are finally dropping their first-ever cookbook, and it’s an absolute must-have.
We Cook Plants is more than just a recipe book. It’s a love letter to plant-based cooking, packed with 100 global recipes from the incredible Made In Hackney chefs curated by the charity’s founder, Sarah Bentley. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, the book features contributions from celebrity supporters like Andi Oliver, Sami Tamimi, Dr Rupy, and fermentation king Sandor Katz. Fancy, right?
This book isn’t just about filling your belly. It also dives into juicy topics like land justice, food injustice, decolonising the food system, and why plant-based eating is a game-changer for people and the planet. Even actual queen Olivia Colman is raving about it, calling it “a clash of flavours, cultures and cuisines with mouth-watering results.”
We Cook Plants launches on 14th October 2025, but you can pre-order it now. Best of all? Every penny Made In Hackney makes from sales will help fund their free community cooking classes and meal delivery service.
Delicious food, a powerful message, and supporting an incredible cause? You know what to do.
