Recipes for Community
Community is like a recipe.
It adapts based on the ingredients: when/where we’re gathered, who we’re with, and why we’re here.
Recipes for Community is grounded on the premise that each of us has something to bring to the table: our stories. Each iteration creates a metaphorical pot for these stories.
If heat is the element of transformation in cooking, then what happens when these different stories encounter each other?
While the result is unknown, mutual change is inevitable.
Parking Lot Magic:
Finding Community at the 32nd Street Farmers Market
Parking Lot Magic is a collage of the people, tastes, and conversations that shaped my community in Baltimore. With photographs taken by my husband, Michael Caballes, it is my love letter to the 32nd Street Farmers Market.

Investing in Community
Investing in the local economy is key to Recipes for Community, and whenever possible I try to financially compensate community partners. Thanks to the generosity of funders, as of April 2022 more than $7,425 has gone to support local businesses, artists, farmers, non-profits, and community members.
