July 16, 2026 | The Depanneur Cookbook by Len Senater, featuring Emily Zimmerman
The Depanneur Cookbook is equal parts memoir, manifesto and cookbook. Curated by Len Senater, the book features amazing stories, beautiful photography by Ksenija Hotic, and showcases 100 recipes from 100 cooks representing more than 80 nationalities. Len Senater founded The Depanneur in 2011 as an experiment in pop-up dining.
The Depanneur is an ongoing, evolving social and culinary experiment; a prototype and proof-of-concept exploring food’s role in building community, creating opportunity and celebrating diversity. It has been built around the idea the food can be and do more, and has brought this to life through social-purpose initiatives like Newcomer Kitchen, a 3-year pilot program (2016-2019) that put more than $150,000 into the pockets of over 80 newly-arrived Syrian refugee women.
Emily Zimmerman is a chef, community worker, food justice activist, cooking up deluxe, delicious vegan dishes and retro comfort food. She can be found at food events around the GTA and at The Depanneur.
