Released in conjunction with Urban Recipe and his Quavo Cares Foundation, the literary piece contains unique ways to prepare classic meals. “What I care most about is bringing the community together to provide joy and peace. There is no better way to do it than to connect with loved ones over a home-cooked meal,” the Migos alum stated about the cookbook, which saw contributions from culinary star, Virginia Willis and the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
“This season, as my gift to you, I am sharing my family recipes to inspire you to make nutritious meals together to enjoy with laughter and love.” The “Huncho Farms Cookbook” first debuted at Quavo’s farmers market event on Monday, November 20.
