Sizzling Summer Recipes from ‘Queen West Resiliency Gardens & Recipe Kits’ Over the pandemic, in June of 2020, the Queen Street West BIA did some creative thinking and wanted to do its part to help our community. Queen West is known for a great foodie scene as part of its culture. We thought it would be amazing to provide some households with starter grow kits (aka Resilience Gardens) to be able to grow their own food at home. In addition, we would provide a recipe book with recipes from some of our wonderful chefs. This project was made possible by the City of Toronto BIA Innovation Fund. Get ready to enjoy this diversity of sizzling summer recipes! Find all the Recipe Kits: www.queenstreettoronto.com/queen-west-resiliency-gardens-recipe-kits.html
