For a neighborhood covering no more than two square miles, Coronado sure packs a punch. It has a rich history of diverse residents as well as restaurants—some that have come and gone, others that have been around for decades, and still more that are new kids on the block. With recipes hailing from every corner of this unique area, Coronado Cooks (G&R Publishing, 2016) offers both homey classics and novel nosh. Proceeds from sales of this spiral-bound community cookbook benefit Caring Coalition, a neighborhood nonprofit that provides weekend food packages for children at local elementary schools.

Available at McDowell Market and Rubymint General, both in Phoenix, $10.
