If you haven’t see the responses from Vice and Fit and Feminist response to the women of Women Against Feminism who don’t need feminism as it would deprive them of the men who open their jars for them, you’re in for a treat.
The Mushroom Hunt and Vegan Masculinities, or How Not to Report on Food and Gender
Content note: some misogynistic language. I had such high hopes for the NPR Food article “For These Vegans, Masculinity Means Protecting The Planet” by Neda Ulaby. Finally, I thought, a piece about not only food and masculinities, but one in which the gender binary would be broken down, showing that caring about food politics or,…
Double Coconut Brownies (Dairy-Free)
This recipe is dairy-free if you are using vegan baker’s chocolate. If you want to glaze or frost it, you can use non-dairy milk for a glaze or my favorite vegan buttercream, but the brownies are rich and moist without it.
Vegan Rhubarb-Raspberry Crostata
Updated 5-21-2015: new photos! A few notes: Olive oil: not only is this recipe vegan, but you don’t have to worry about the butter in the crust getting too warm while rolling it out. (Seattle = no AC! It’s great until you try working with buttercream in the summer) One crust, rustic-style: way easier to…
Beer Is For Everyone: Transphobia Edition
Content warning: brief discussion of transmisogyny. Yes, this is a food blog. Happy Independence Day! Even as I’m going to a barbecue and going to drink lots of craft beer, I want to talk about something serious. There were several gross transphobic comments left on The Beer Wench’s Instagram Friday in a post about The Beeroness.
Kitchen Library: June 2014
Time for a long-overdue Kitchen Library! This is a roundup of some recipes I loved and some pictures of things I ate. (I’ve been putting articles on Twitter and Facebook lately instead of in [woefully infrequent] Kitchen Library posts.) All of them are vegetarian or vegan!
Feminist Foodie: Vetting Food Blogs
In light of my recent photo contribution to Sociological Images‘ #pointlesslygenderedfood, I’d like to talk about how I navigate food/recipe blogs as a feminist. You’d think this wouldn’t be so hard, and yet I live in a world surrounded (literally) by such gendered products as: When I’m home and looking for recipes to make, I don’t…
Rosemary-Orange Ricotta Muffins
For a fluffier version, see Version 2.0! It’s been a year since I repatriated, and I’m still having trouble with the groceries here. I’ll spare you the spiel so I don’t have to retitle this blog Vague Complaints of a Wandering Food Blogger,* but I’ve noticed that the herbs sold in the supermarket are much larger quantities than…
The Gender Binary in Health Magazines (Notes on “Are You Working Hard Enough to Achieve Your Natural Body?”)
I am not a healthy-living blogger, but let me take a side-step from food to health for a moment here: I snapped this shot at Bartell Drugs in May and submitted it to Sociological Images’ #PointlesslyGenderedProducts via Twitter, and now it’s a post! I wanted to discuss this image a little further here on the blog…
Hannicakes: Nightmare-Stag Petit Four
In honor of the season finale of Hannibal, I baked some mini-cakes in the style of petits fours for dinner with friends. These aren’t quite where I want them yet, but I wanted to share while it’s still timely!
A Week of Seattle Craft Beers
I didn’t end up going to Seattle Beer Week events because my parents were in town and I wanted to have our schedule semi-open for touristy things, but I did take them to some of my favorite brewpubs that had special beers on tap for Seattle Beer Week or new seasonal beers. Here are a…
