Now That’s a Reno Recipe, Vol. 1
What if a cookbook could do more than feed you—it could connect you?
It’s more than a collection of flavorful, budget-friendly meals. It’s a tribute to the power of food to bring people together. Born from a free cooking class for seniors and expanded to support foster youth and families, this book celebrates the joy of learning, sharing, and nourishing others.
