"Reciwee" is a self-published mini cookbook with short, simple recipes for preparing pot roast, brown sugar, whole wheat bread, and other food from scratch.

"What's most impressive is that not one recipe requires more than five ingredients considering most celebrity chef cookbooks require everything but the kitchen sink." —Broken Pencil

"It's not just about ease ... 'Reciwee' wants us to think about making our own food as a political act." —Xerography Debt

***

A mere eight pages, with a smattering of hyper-short recipes, this recipe zine aims to help demystify food and stands in contrast to the glorified, celebrity-chef-driven tomes that dominate cookbook shelves at most bookstores (virtual and otherwise).

It's also a reaction to our pervasive processed-food culture, which suggests that foods like salad dressing and breakfast cereal are things you must buy pre-made at a supermarket.

This printed food zine is independently published and distributed by Reciwee Press. Unlike the transitory nature of online recipes and social media feeds, the cooking zine offers an intimate and uncluttered experience and can be a treasured keepsake.

The saddle stitch binding allows the booklet to lay open flat on a countertop for easy reference in the kitchen.

Eight pages. Measures 4.25" x 5.5". Printed on 100 lb. text paper.
