“When we announced that we were coming out with Family Table, Brooklyn restaurant owners came from all over the borough, excited to be a part of this project,” said Zully Rolan, chairwoman of Brooklyn Pride. “There has been nothing like this for our borough or our LGBT community,” adds Zully. 

 

 

The book, featuring a forward written by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, boasts a recipe from Food Network powerhouse Daisy Martinez, as well as recipes from 21 eateries. “It was a joy to work with the restaurateurs who generously donated their talents. We hope this book is embraced and these restaurants are supported for the gems that they are,” said Zully. Brooklyn Pride will be hosting a release party on February 18th, an invitation only reception at Belleville Lounge on Fifth Avenue in Park Slope. 

The cover price is $25, plus $3 shipping if ordered online. “All the proceeds from this book will go towards more programs and events for the LGBT community in Brooklyn,” adds Rolan. Pre-Order now continues. The first run will be a numbered limited edition. Copies will also be sold at fundraising events throughout the year and at the 14th Annual Brooklyn Pride Celebration on June 12th. Our annual festival requires fundraising events and planning year round. All volunteers and donations welcome.
