Saturday 9/26/26 1pm-4pm Zine Launch Event! Ribbons: antichocolate by ashley russell

RIBBONS is a new zine created by writer and baker Ashley Russell, built from the outtakes and honorable mentions of her cookbook What’s Cooking Good Looking. The premier issue, ANTICHOCOLATE, explores non‑chocolate desserts and the women connected to them, filling 80 pages with illustrations, food photography, vintage prints, and pop‑culture collages. Each dessert is paired with a song, and the zine includes a complimentary mix CD.

Ashley will be launching the zine and bringing select items from the cookbook, offering a chance to browse recipes, pick up the new issue, and shop a few treats from her kitchen.
