Too many cooks spoil the broth? Not in Sunset Park
Cookbook of community recipes in planning stages
Over the years Sunset Park has been home to waves of immigrants, including Germans, Irish, Norwegians, Latinos, Asians and Eastern Europeans, many of whom brought recipes from their home countries with them when they arrived on U.S. shores and invented new culinary traditions in Brooklyn.
Imagine what kind of cookbook could be written about Sunset Park.
Well, Tony Giordano doesn’t have to imagine — he’s doing it.
Giordano, a longtime Sunset Park resident who founded the nonprofit civic organization Sunset Park Restoration, is collecting recipes for a cookbook. The book’s working title is “Sunset Park Cookbook.”
