Deliciousness in all its diversity
Rockwood
cookbook
celebrates foods
and traditions
From home cooks to cafes,
time-tested restaurants and upstart
kitchens, there is a diverse array of
food and tradition found in Gresh-
am’s Rockwood neighborhood.
Now, some of the best recipes
and stories the neighborhood has
to offer are available in “Food Sto-
ries: The Rockwood Community
Cookbook,” a celebration of food,
community, and new food shop-
ping and food-related business
opportunities being created by the
city’s Rockwood Rising Redevel-
opment Project.
“Food is such a great way to
bring people together,” said Emily
Bower, senior urban renewal proj-
ect coordinator for the City.
The cookbook seeks to promote
the wide array of culinary talent
that exists in Rockwood, and its
burgeoning food scene, as well
as the people and diverse cultures
that call this neighborhood home.
Recipes draw from food tradi-
tions across the globe and right
here at home. One of the recipes,
Satellite Restaurant Meatloaf,
is the original from the iconic
1950s-era neighborhood diner
that once operated on the redevel-
opment site.
Many of the more than 20 rec-
ipes gathered in this book were
passed down from generation to
generation but had never been
written down before. The cook-
book is available at Gresham City
Hall for a suggested donation of
A Gresham home
cook shows how to
create one of her
favorite Mexican
dishes as part of
her contribution
to the publication
of a new com-
munity cookbook
to celebrate the
array of food and
diverse ethnic
traditions found
in Gresham’s
Rockwood
neighborhood.
$5.
All cookbook proceeds will
benefit Birch Community Ser-
vices, a Rockwood-based financial
literacy nonprofit that provides ac-
cess to donated food, clothing and
household items to ease hunger
and poverty.
The release of the Food Stories
cookbook also supports the Gresh-
am Redevelopment Commission’s
work to develop a Market Hall
for the Rockwood Rising site at
18535 S.E. Stark St., the former
Fred Meyer property.
Plans for the Market Hall call
for a range of fresh produce and
prepared foods to help meet a long-
standing need for more healthy
food options in the neighborhood
and will provide entrepreneurship
and job training opportunities.
