The Artist Cookbook “Shared Plates” Online Fundraising Auction

“If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him… the people who give you their food give you their heart.” —Cesar Chavez

Shared Plates is a fundraising component held in conjunction with the release of The Artist Cookbook Vol. 2 edited by Carrie Perreault. Contributing artists from the latest Vol. (along with a few of our friends from Vol. 1) made drawings on dinner and side plates that will be auctioned online. The proceeds from the sale of the plates will benefit the crucial and urgent work that FoodShare undertakes in communities across Tkaronto/Toronto.

The plates will be sold during TWO online auctions in November, 2021 and both auctions are open for bidding now!! Visit The Artist Cookbook >> Shared Plates to navigate to the online auction or check out the specific dates/ links listed below.

The dinner plates have a starting bid of $45 (which includes a flat shipping fee) and the side plates have a starting bid of $35.
