So while I like to cook, write and create spontaneously, that's not so great for a project like MoFo, especially when the days are getting shorter and natural light makes pictures so much better. This year, I'm earnestly gonna try to use the month of October to complete a project that's been long overdue for some hankering down.
Introducing The Vegan Cook-Zine Museum
![]() |
| Shhh! This is a library, whisk lightly. |
Sometimes I get emails from polite folks, imploring me to run off copies of this one or that one in particular, and even though many of the zines are marked "copy-freely," indulging these requests feels too much like a chore. I'm not your cutesie distro people! Instead, I think it'll be fun to zip up the ol' rusty librarian outfit and curate The Vegan Cook-Zine Museum. If all goes well, I shall photograph, testify to and document my entire collection (which far outweighs the 31 day of October) and hopefully cook and eat from them too.
If things go badly, I'll just wing the whole freakin' month.

This sounds like a really cool project. I think the only cook-zine I own is one of the DEOTS ones, so I'm looking forward to reading about all the other zines you have! Happy MoFoing!
ReplyDeleteAwesome project, I can't wait to read your MoFoing!
ReplyDeleteBoston has the Papercut Zine Library, which has lots of vegan titles. http://www.papercutzinelibrary.org/
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an awesome project!
I'm so excited for the zine museum tour.

So looking forward to this, kittee!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mofo 2011! <3
If you like, I can send you scanned copies of the vegan slut cook zines for your museum.. I scanned em a while ago for someone who asked me about them over myspace
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bonnie, V.I.B., VeganLisa and Phoenix!
ReplyDeleteApricot, that is cool! Thanks for the link, Portland also has an amazing zine library, but we don't have too many vegan titles...YET.
Amber, that would be amazing! Make sure you send me your info, too, so I can credit you as the source! Is the zine yours? If so I may have more questions for ya.

Exciting!! Please Don't Feed The Bears (that you gave me!) and Hot Damn & Hell Yeah are two of my favorite cook zines, hands down. I have Vegan De Guadalupe and haven't ever used it- I'm sure you will get me inspired. Can't wait to read more :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, I only have one vegan zine, obviously I need more!
ReplyDeletei only have a couple o' vegan zines, but you can bet your boots i'm most excitedfaced 'bout your ziney posts & the all kinds of awesome you'll be sharing this MoFo, kitteebee!!!! bring it on!! yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, Kittee. Wish I had a little metal "kittee" museum button to wear during the tour.

I'm so looking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteHappy MoFo'ing
:-)
This idea ROCKS!
ReplyDeleteI want to bring back zines!! I used to write perzines, and now I want to write a vegan cookzine, but I'm not really sure if there's a zine community around to read them anymore. I'd also love to open my own cookzine distro on my blog, but again - will anyone read them??? At any rate, I think this is a cool project you're doing!
