About Cooking for Community

The idea of Cooking for Community came from an ongoing goal to be able to adjust basic recipes to cater to varying group sizes.  After recording and writing about several recipes, CFC began to shape into more than just a recipe journal.  Cooking for Community is about food, friends, and feeding groups – it is a food journal of a small community in rural Mexico which attempts to create healthy meals, create their own food products (tofu, sprouts, sauerkraut, etc), and create community by bringing people from different backgrounds, cultures, and languages around the table to share meals.
