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.)

In Issue 2, L.M. and Robin are joined by contributors Elijah Garrard, Elk Paauw and JFG to bring together a collection of recipes, comics, poetry and essays on topics including from self-care and queer crushes, learning to cook in a new country, and queer nihilism’s connection to vegan food.

This zine was risograph printed by Paper Press Punch in Seattle, WA!
