Monday, November 9, kicks off National Cooks Who Care week with a talk and demo by Catherine Cassidy, editor-in-chief of Taste of Home, at 92YTribeca (200 Hudson Street).

There will also be a food drive at the event, so participants are encouraged to bring nonperishable packaged foods for donation to the Food Bank of New York City ($16; noon; click here to purchase tickets).
