Feed the Resistance
Best for older teens and adults interested in cooking and activism
Parents and teens who care about justice often struggle to translate big values into everyday family life. After looking at many “activist cookbooks,” Feed the Resistance stands out for pairing doable recipes with essays and concrete ideas for civic engagement. Created by cookbook author and organizer Julia Turshen and contributors, it was designed to nourish people literally and figuratively as they do community work. We love how it balances comforting dishes with thoughtful writing on showing up, listening, and sharing resources. It’s best for older teens and adults who want to connect cooking, hospitality, and activism around the kitchen table. The focus is progressive, which won’t fit every family’s politics, but the charity‑supporting model and practical ideas are still valuable. Pro tip: pick one essay and one recipe each month, cook together, and use dinner as a low‑pressure space to talk about local issues.
Chronicle Books lists the cookbook at about $14.95, with similar pricing at most major booksellers.
