The Shared Kitchen

We spend much of our lives in our kitchens – cooking, cleaning, eating. These tasks can be a source of immense joy and satisfaction, especially when shared with others. The Shared Kitchen features over 80 tasty and creative vegetarian and vegan recipes, photographed in shared homes in Meanjin (Brisbane, Australia). In these spaces, housemates navigate sharing kitchens, food, and life together. The Kitchen is comprehensive and flexible, inspired by the simple joy of cooking something delicious with what you already have – whether grown in your garden, bought in bulk at the market, or discovered at the bottom of the crisper drawer. Each of the 16 chapters features a common fruit or vegetable – from apple to zucchini – and shows new ways to put these staples in the spotlight – and save the ones that end up in the compost when you have too much to know what to do with.
