The kitchen at Jessie’s House is the heart of the home. It’s a place where our clients eat healthy, hot meals cooked by our Founder Lynne, and Cook, Rose. It’s a place of connection. When survivors leave Jessie’s House, they often ask for our recipes. We put them together in a cookbook – a memento of the time where they found safety, hope, and healing.
And you can get a copy too! Our first edition, Cookin’ with Lynne Vol. 1, is available for sale! All cookbook proceeds will support the nutrition program at Jessie’s House, ensuring that all survivors get a copy of their own as they leave Jessie’s House and Eileen’s Place.
