The Depanneur Cookbook is equal parts memoir, manifesto and cookbook. The book features amazing stories, beautiful photography by Ksenija Hotic, and showcases 100 recipes from 100 cooks representing more than 80 nationalities.
Launched on Kickstarter in Nov 2020, The Depanneur Cookbook reached its original goal of $20,000 in only 18 hours, and went on to become the most successful Canadian cookbook project… ever! To celebrate, we committed $5 per book towards Kiva microloans to women food entrepreneurs in the developing world.
Since being published by Simon & Schuster Canada in 2024, The Depanneur Cookbook has been awarded 3 "Best In The World" Cookbook Awards by Gourmand International (Winner: Special Jury Award, 2nd Place: Creative & Innovative, 3rd place: Cities), a Gold Medal Winner in the 2025 Taste Canada Awards (Regional / Cultural Cookbooks), nominated for a Heritage Toronto Book Award, and featured as a "Best Toronto Read" in the 2024 Lonely Planet Guide to Toronto.
