Give Back With The 'Cart For A Cause' Cookbook

STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Just in time for the entertaining season, the "Cart For A Cause Cookbook" is on sale now! Recipes from nearly 40 of L.A.'s hottest chefs are featured, all of whom have cooked on the Cart, the nation's first fully philanthropic mobile food truck.

Chefs Jeremy Berlin, Ray Garcia and Mark Gold stopped by KCAL9 Tuesday to talk about the cause.

Since its inception in 2010, the Cart has raised vital financial support for St. Vincent Meals On Wheels, the largest privately-funded organization of its kind in the country. It serves over 4,700 meals a day, 365 days a year. The meals are prepared daily in the 16,000 square foot, state-of-the-art kitchen located at the Saint Vincent Medical Center Campus. Annually, over 1.1 million meals are prepared and delivered to people in Los Angeles, including homebound senior citizens, disabled and terminally ill patients and homeless adults and children.

The "Cart For A Cause Cookbook" features Dana Hursey's stunning photos of each chef and one of the signature recipes they prepared while volunteering their food, time, staff and love on the Cart For A Cause mobile food truck.

The cookbook can be purchased at Amazon or the St. Vincent Meals on Wheels website.

All proceeds from book sales go directly to fund the mission of St. Vincent Meals on Wheels.
