Instructions from the Cook: Recipes for New Conversations by community futurists and Iron Chefs George Nemeth and Jack Ricchiuto is a brief, yet compact treasure of gifts that describe and offer fresh, home-grown, and well-harvested community possibilities for re-mapping and envisioning neighborhoods and discarding old, conversations.
Their instructions and recipes are based on observation and decades of practice in urban and rural communities across the country. Whether it is dream space, small acts, invitation or gifts conversations, this book is about recognizing, giving voice, representation, presence, and potential to everyone; because, everyone has something to give; whether it is four stones, a loaf of bread, or a small step across those divides that often separate us as people. Please read and conduct the recipes within; and through, practice, create your own “change recipes”.
