The duo behind New York restaurant Dimes presents a sensitive, gastronomical roadmap for the heart and the belly with their debut cookbook, Dimes Times: Emotional Eating.
Dimes, the all-day Chinatown restaurant known for serving vibrant, healthy plates to a devout following of patrons has grown to include a deli and market as well as design objects and apothecary products since its opening in 2013. Now, the all-encompassing brand expands with its debut cookbook: Dimes Times: Emotional Eating
The collection of recipes, derived from the Dimes menu, is organized by time of day and state of mind, from 8AM, Determined and 4PM, Curious through 11PM, Afterhours. The 8x8 book is inspired by Bruno Munari, medicine folklore and conversations overheard in the neighborhood and features interactive food faces and shapely rhymes that encourage readers to get creative with their meals.
Dimes Times: Emotional Eating features photography by Mary Manning alongside text by Alissa Wagner and Toniann Fernandez, and was designed by Erin Knutson and Sabrina De Sousa. Sandwiched between two clocks that recall the Dimes logo, Dimes Times: Emotional Eating is a compendium of tasty go-to’s for the mind and body at any hour.

Dimes has been the hot, healthy café of choice for cool New Yorkers for the past seven years. Its inventively designed cookbook, Dimes Times: Emotional Eating, is a fitting reflection of its approach.
If there was ever a time for emotional eating, it's now. If ever a time for cooking at home, that would also be now. Self-care, light sense of humor? Check, and check. So for anyone trapped at home during corona virus but wishing to feel optimistic, vibrant and connected to community, we highly recommend Dimes Times: Emotional Eating. Authored by Sabrina De Sousa and Alissa Wagner, founders of the chic all-day Chinatown eatery, Dimes, and designed after Bruno Munari by Karma, New York, this is a feel-good cookbook for feeling good—with adorable illustrations, simple, healthy recipes for morning, noon and night, notes on key ingredients, and breezy texts like this one, describing the morning routine: "Prepping, pruning, planning. The motions are meditative, kitchen tai chi. Measure, grind, brew. Rinse, steam, polish. Chop, slice, dice. Yet even tasks as simple as these are done with lots of love."
