Reviews

This zine contains good and useful recipes, comics that are both sharp and adorable at the same time, and a heartfelt introductory essay. As an added bonus, this zine also stained my fingers bright pink, which made me feel as fierce and empowered as if I had battled a dozen evil strawberry donuts and emerged triumphant. (The zine comes with a clear plastic slip cover, so no worries if you’re not feeling the pink.)
