Fantastic read! I always think about cookbooks that stand the test of time, like Claudia Roden or Julia Child. I see so many recent cookbook releases, with trending recipes, digital drawings and fashionable colours and fonts, knowing full well that in a year they will seem outdated. Originally and a creative authority seems to be the last thing that the industry is interested in.

Yes!!!!!!!!! I’m working on my first zine with my partner. Can’t wait to share it with our community here in Austin. We are probably also going to do a digital version.

Thank you for writing this piece! I have been thinking a lot about zines and their role in the food writing and cookbook writing space the past couple of years. So happy to see so many new examples.
