Sharing the recipe list from my cookbook, A Durable Shell, which is coming out this Sunday 10/18. I'm sharing a lot in this book, but I know I'm not the only one who has had to eat while grieving. Because to be alive is to grieve, and to be alive is to eat.

Anyways, we're having a cookbook launch dinner party this Sunday 10/18 at Cafe Lolo. They are angels on earth and made a menu that is based on the recipes in the book. Reserve a spot by emailing Cafe Lolo at cafeloloseattle@gmail.com.

~MENU~

Starter: Emmer + mustard green galette with chicory salad

Savory 1: Lamb soup with einkorn + braised greens

Savory 2: Seared romanesco + broccoli with cheesy mayocoba beans

Dessert: Spelt cardamom rhubarb cake

Ticket details:
* Ticket price ($105 pp + 20% service charge and tax)
* Ticket includes drink pairings (NA or wine)

Babes … we’ve got a MULTIDISCIPLINARY EVENING coming up that you will really want to witness.

Please join us for a special fixed-price / set-menu dinner to celebrate the launch of Lolo ALUMNA Alex Garcia’s cookbook with Raspberry Bow Press, A Durable Shell: Ramblings and Recipes on Eating While Grieving. We’ll be offering seats at the table(s) for two seatings, the first at 5PM and the second at 7:30PM. See below for more about the book, the menu, ticket details and how to make a reservation. We will only be able to accommodate vegetarian substitutions for this set menu. A copy of the book is not included in the dinner ticket, but books and art by Connie Millsaps will be available for purchase at the dinner.

About the book:
If food is normally a joyous part of your day, it can be hard to know what to eat when your days feel deprived of joy. The author, Alex, had her days become very deprived of joy after her younger sister, Maren, died by suicide. She turned to books for help as she’s always done, but found she had to cobble together multiple to marry the topic of how to be with how to eat. Since being and eating go hand in hand for her, this book is the result of Alex trying to make her own map when she didn’t know how to do either. You’ll find ramblings on how to be after someone you love dies, in particular when they die by suicide, and recipes for how to take care of yourself when food is your love language.

TTA State of the Union ❄️   Y’all it’s been a doozy lately. January was roughly 690 days long, first of all. But here are some good things that have happened lately:   I’m still doing my collaboration with @KindCotton! To date, they’ve donated over 255,000 books to kids. Every purchase sends a book! After launching a fundraiser for Minnesota, KC was able to send a thousand books to kids in Minneapolis. I’m endlessly grateful to partner with an organization that works tirelessly for both the literacy AND representation of future generations.   Following this theme, get psyched and hungry for the ICE CAKES NOT PEOPLE bake sale next month, hosted by my pals at @Sip_413 and a satellite event of the incredible @overseasoned_amy who owns the coolest store in Newport @matriarch.ri (and a stop on my cookbook tour!)   INTERESTED IN BAKING FOR IT?! Send me a dm!   Proceeds will be sent to @TransAsylumSupport   #CommunityOverCapitalism #IceCakesNotPeople #TheRevolutionWillBeWellFed   Image ID: 1: Corrie, a white person with glasses and short purple hair, is smiling and wearing a pink shirt that says ‘Human Rights Aren’t Radical” that matches her cookbook 2: The bake sale image advertising the location and time in a pink and purple vintage cake graphic

Independently published cookbooks from Portland to Barcelona! We love small press cook books, the kind of books that highlight the human experience. The way we interact with eating is a crucial part of how we interact with life and community.

If you’ve got cookbook or food-related zines/small press that you love (or have made) please let us know! We’re always expanding the selection when we can. 🍽️

It’s been one whole year since my cookbook was released.   I remain blown away and honored about all of the businesses and community centers (even a university!) who invited me to speak over the past year. I truly believe it’s community that will save us, and it’s something that spans miles and internet connections as well as our literal neighborhoods.   And y’all, I don’t ask for much. But the shirt that I’m wearing is my collab with @kindcotton an incredible company. Just last week, they were able to send 750 books to schools because every purchase will donate a picture book to an empty shelf. Of course I hope that my design resonates with you, because it’s the phrase that I feel most reflects the work that I do. But there’s a ton of worthy causes and beautiful shirts to explore, and Banned Books Week is coming up!   Thanks for being here ✌️ don’t be a jerk and free Palestine 🇵🇸   Image ID: Corrie is standing against a brick wall with their cookbook balanced on their head. The book is hot pink. Corrie is white with short hair and tattoos, wearing a pink shirt that says ‘human rights aren’t radical’ and green baggy linen pants. She’s making a slight face and looking at the camera.

We are so excited to feature zines from Raspberry Bow Press as part of our MADE HERE series! This small press is located in Skagit Valley, WA and is a collaboration between Michelle Gale and Tim Hubner. Many Raspberry Bow Press publications are printed in the studio on their Risograph GR3750, and the pair is dedicated to publishing titles by regional authors and artists with a special emphasis on women and food.

Michelle and Tim also own and operate Book Shucker, a tiny-but-mighty independent bookstore in Edison that offers carefully curated cookbooks, nonfiction, children’s books, small press and comics. Come check out these zines by Pacific Northwest artists and be sure to add @bookshucker to your list of stops the next time you’re in the Skagit Valley! 📚

As expected, we had an 💫AMAZING💫 time at the @seattleartbookfair last weekend!

Huge thanks to @yendex, @teykem, and the incredible volunteers for pulling off such a smooth, fun, and successful fair. We had excellent conversations, embarked on the most profound exploration of The Clown and the Cowboy in recorded history, and to answer the burning question—vegan donuts were had.
