Who: Sarah Monson is a line cook at Seattle’s popular/great Rupee Bar, and she has put together two new cookbooks celebrating the unsung heroes of the restaurant industry — the people who work in the kitchens. It’s handwritten recipes for food (and drinks!) that local restaurant workers came up with during COVID-times, keeping on cooking and creating while laid off (sometimes making stuff family-meal-style for groups of podded-up housemates who all worked at different places). The first cookbook sold out, but the second one will be available later this month, and she’ll be donating part of the profits to Covid19 Mutual Aid.
