About

Recipes for the Book began with something small, just a man who loved to cook, creating meals for the people who mattered most. Dorian Donahue didn’t set out to become an author. He simply wanted to stay inspired, keep his hands busy, and bring people together over a hot plate. But somewhere between toasted pine nuts and simmered sauces, these meals became more than just recipes. They became memories and, eventually, a story worth sharing.

This book isn’t about perfect plating or polished technique. It’s about the flavour that feels like home. Each recipe, from jerk wings to roasted garlic bread, comes from a real kitchen, filled with music, warmth, and the occasional beautiful mess. There’s no performance here, no pretence. Just food that’s made to be enjoyed.

Dorian’s voice runs through every page, kind, easygoing, and honest. We believe in that voice. We believe in books that speak from lived experience and meals that leave a mark. Recipes for the Book is his offering to anyone who finds healing in a well-stirred pot or happiness in a seat at the table. This isn’t just a cookbook. It’s an open door. Welcome home.
