Founded in 2014 by Lisa Kyung Gross, the daughter of a Korean immigrant and a Jewish New Yorker, League of Kitchens is a unique cooking school that empowers immigrant women to share culinary expertise and culture through hands-on cooking workshops, both in their homes and online. The instructors pass on their knowledge, skills, recipes, and most importantly, their secrets for how to cook with love.

At its heart, League of Kitchens is a celebration of the invaluable contributions of immigrants to our food culture and society. Now, with The League of Kitchens Cookbook, you can bring these exceptional home cooking classes into your own home kitchen.

This visually stunning cookbook features favorite heirloom recipes that have been honed and perfected over the years and passed down through the generations: authentic recipes from Mexico, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ukraine, Greece, Afghanistan, India, Argentina, Japan, Uzbekistan, Lebanon, Iran, and Nepal. Each recipe goes beyond mere ingredients and instruction; it’s enriched with inspiring immigrant stories, cultural and family traditions, and the secret tips, tricks, and tiny details that elevate a dish from good to extraordinary—those little nuances that make something uniquely amazing and delicious.
