One part vintage 1970s spiral-bound cookbook, one part Tasajara Bread Book, Community Chaos is a collection of recipes for casual weeknight gatherings sourced from the Paper Choir reader community.
“A recipe doesn’t belong to anyone,” writes Edward Espe Brown. “Given to me, I give it to you.” The same spirit of expansive generosity fills Community Chaos, even when doing more doesn’t feel easy (and it usually doesn’t).
An essay by Margaret Demment considers how to expand the table when you're already stretched thin; another by Sarah McColl is about succumbing to the mayhem of having people over as a way to deepen friendships.
If shared soup nights with friends and neighbors is on your fall wish list, or you want to break bread with folks more often in an unfussy way, Community Chaos offers ten humble, cozy ideas for extra seats at the table. It can be as simple as a loaf of bread, a pot of beans, and a chocolate chip cookie.

40-page artist publication, printed on Neenah Stardust, French Whitewash and Cement Green paper with soy-based Risograph ink (flat gold and aqua), saddle stitched binding, measures 5.25 × 8”.
