Cake Zine's fourth issue, Tough Cookie, presents a hearty batch of trials and triumphs all in the context of cookies. This indie literary food magazine contains over ninety-six pages of stories about food and culture across essays, recipes, fiction, and art including:
- An interview with a Times Square Cookie Monster mascot trading selfies for tips by Katie Way
- An admiring salute to the cookiecutter shark by Sabrina Imbler
- Recipes for cookies tough in texture, technique, or tone by Abi Balingit, Briana Holt, Caroline Schiff, Chloe-Rose Crabtree, Paola Velez, and Yesenia Castañon
- A dishy reflection on being the head chef at a powerful Wall Street bank in the eighties, a eulogy for the end of the browser cookie, using Lorna Doones as currency in the psych ward, and much more
It's the perfect indie vibey coffee table book / art book / cookbook to gift to a food-obsessed friend or add to your home.
