When food donations come up, your first instinct might be to conjure images of canned green beans and kitchen-sink stews. But Crisis Kitchen provides folks with “really high-quality, delicious, fancy restaurant-quality food, that we give away for free,” Garcia Groenendyk says. The kitchen also delivers vibrant grocery boxes filled with produce donated by local farmers. Baron’s shots of the team’s cooking process—zucchini lovingly scored and seared, queso fresco carefully sprinkled over enchiladas—are lush and mouth-watering, and would be at home on any big food media brand’s website.
