Chaos Cooking XVII- "Green"

A continuing social experiment where up to 60 people cook 60 recipes in 1 kitchen, 4 burners, 1 oven. All recipes must be finished in 4 hours while everyone is drinking wine, socializing and putting delectable dishes in their mouths.

To Bring: 2 Bottles of wine per person.
Extra knives, cutting boards, big bowls, and tupperware to bring any extra food home.

Optional Bonus Theme: "Green"

$4 to cover the cost of broken glasses, dishwashing soap, cleaning supplies, insane gas bill and our "fix the microwave fund".
We will provide: Pots, pans, silverware, Skewers, salt, pepper, olive oil, flour, white sugar, blender, Foreman grill, table top flat grill, bread crumbs, and charcoal.

How it works.
Bring the ingredients necessary for everyone to try a little bit of your dish, extra knives & cutting boards (if you have them) and two bottles of wine per person.

When you arrive
1) Check in
3) Pour yourself some wine
4) Start making your dish
5) Drink some more wine
6) Help your new friends
7) Bang on a pot when your dish is finished
8) Don't forgot....try some dishes, share your dish, and try not to start yourself on fire
9) Wrap up some food to take home
10) Cleanup will start at 10:00

This has been an incredible success, cultivating some of the best vibes we've felt in a while. We started at 18 people and pushed the chaos to 60, which somehow still works. Some dish ideas of what was made in the past; Vietnamese Summer Rolls, Gazpacho, Watermelon Basil Mint Feta Salad, Week-long marinated Pork, Portabello Mushroom Burgers, Curried Squash Soup, etc.

"Page Not Found is a 2000 sqft, members run apartment, with a garden, used as constantly transforming space to encourage strong social interaction by experimenting with collaboration, art, food, film and music."
