“I feel like a person now, and know there are only better things to come.” … Marla, former Rockland Family Shelter resident with her son.

This unique 200 page cookbook will warm your heart as well as satisfy your appetite. It is a unique collection of recipes and stories woven together from over 80 top female chefs around the country.

The Better Things to Come cookbook was imagined by a small group of the Center for Safety & Change formerly Rockland Family Shelter Board members, who are seeking to raise awareness about domestic violence, sexual assault and to raise resources to support the Center for Safety & Change’s vision to end gender-based violence. With the help of individuals like Sara Moulton, Executive Chef of Gourmet Magazine, this book became a collection of recipes and stories that represent an enduring legacy of love and caring—where women can find encouragement for their daily lives.
