Stone Soup Community Cookbook

This isn't just a cookbook—it’s a blueprint for a community kitchen.The Stone Soup Community Cookbook is a collection of nourishing plant-based recipes born from a pay-as-you-may community kitchen in Fairfield, Iowa. Since 2022, we have served approximately 62,000 meals. Anyone is welcome to eat with us for free or donate whatever they can to contribute to the cause. This model, known as pay-as-you-may, has been highly successful for us. It creates an inclusive space where everyone is welcome to share a meal, start a conversation, play a game, and enjoy live music together.Within these pages you will find the story of how this operation came to be, how you can create something like this in your own community, fun nutrition facts and 65 delicious recipes!All proceeds feed directly into the community kitchen's pantry, helping us continue to feed Fairfield, and to hopefully inspire others to do the same elsewhere.
