Cake Zine - Forbidden Fruit- Vol. 7

Description

Founded in 2022 by writer Aliza Abarbanel and baker Tanya Bush, Cake Zine is based out of NYC and is an indie bi-annual print magazine exploring history, culture, literature, and art through sweets.

Cake Zine’s seventh issue, Forbidden Fruit, explores how fruit fuels temptation and transgression. This indie literary food magazine contains one hundred and six pages of essays, recipes, art, and more including:
- Unholy marriages of vice and sweetness, like a scene report on the strawberry “jaba juice” fueling Nairobi nightlife by Awuor Onguru, and Ankit Sethi’s frantic search for blackmarket mango-flavored Juul pods
- A reckoning with orange soda by New York Magazine's Chris Crowley
- Questioning the all-American status of apple pie and Florida fruit juice, by Rafaella Basseli and Grayson Samuels
- Recipes to fuel our deepest produce cravings: durian snow skin mooncakes by Mei Liao, pomegranate icebox cake by Mina Stone, gooey tonka bean butter cakes by Rose Wilde, guava nicuatole by Yara Herrera, and strawberry atole cake by Teresa Finney

It's the perfect indie vibey coffee table book / art book / cookbook to gift to a food-obsessed friend or add to your home.
