Be Connected: Let's make a cookbook together!

We all have cherished memories of spending the holidays with the people we love. Often, the common thread weaving through them is a special dish shared together. Whether it’s your “World Famous” turkey gravy, the bò nhúng dấm you loved as a kid, or Abuela’s delicious arroz con leche, food has the power to instantly make us feel at home.



This holiday season may look different, but we want to celebrate and lift up these great moments with all of you!



So let’s make a City of Boston employee cookbook together, and fill it with our most precious recipes and traditions for all to enjoy. We invite all of our employees to help us create this cookbook by submitting one or more of your favorite recipes. We’ll compile them into a digital cookbook to share with the City of Boston family.

How to Submit Your Favorite Recipe

Simply fill out our recipe submission form. You’ll be given the option to upload your recipe as a digital file, or enter the details manually. Please feel free to personalize your submission, include photos and comments, and tell us what makes your recipe so special. We want this cookbook to feel personal and reflect the awesome and unique people who make up our workforce.

We’re hoping to share the complete cookbook with our employees in time for the Holiday season, so please submit your recipes by Friday, December 11.

If you have any questions or issues submitting your recipe through the form, reach out to BeConnected@boston.gov and we’ll gladly assist!
