Our customers consist of high-end establishments. We ship the most attractive, exotic, nutritious vegetables overnight to top chefs all over the world. So giving to a charity that can also be considered high-end in the way they feed people with dignity and respect, is definitely something that resonates with us and we will do everything in our power to help sustain this incredible operation.

See the Fruits Of Your Labor

I’ve been operating my family farm, The Chef’s Garden, for the last five decades. Working the land can be unpredictable, but seeing the fruits (and vegetables) of our labor is always the most incredible gift.

You, too, can experience the gift of seeing the fruits of your labor when you donate food packages to the needy. Unlike farming, where it takes weeks for crops to grow, donating to Masbia will help them provide hot, nutritious meals to New Yorkers in desperate need of food daily. If you donate today, I will make sure you will yield a harvest that feeds others and your family, too. Those who give generously will have the opportunity to receive exciting giveaways.

My Cookbook - The Chef’s Garden: A Modern Guide to Common and Unusual Vegetables

Featured in The New York Times, The Chef’s Garden cookbook contains 500 entries, from herbs to edible flowers, to varieties of commonly known and not-so-common produce, this book will be a new bible for farmers' markets shoppers and home cooks. With 100 recipes created by the head chef at The Chef's Garden Culinary Vegetable Institute, you’ll learn innovative techniques to transform vegetables in your kitchens.

Although my book is not labeled as kosher, Masbia has created a special kosher companion titled, Adamah Treasures: A Kosher Adaptation of Recipes from ‘The Chef’s Garden’ Cookbook, that will be your guide for altering some of our most intricate non-kosher recipes into recipes that are suitable for the kosher kitchen.
