Thank you! I’m literally working on founding a women’s cafe now in Providence RI and have gotten a copy of this to study. Our plan is to outsource all cooking/baking to local woman-owned companies, of which there are tons here, and ask patrons to serve and bus themselves and pay on their phones. Kind of like airport food kiosks. Lots to learn though and no doubt this book will be helpful in keeping us thinking about the feminist and intersectional aspects.
I loved this interview and can’t wait to pick up the book. I work in sustainable local food systems and food distribution, and that triangle of paying farmers and farm workers, paying food service (and distribution and/or processing, I’d semi-selfishly add!), and making good food accessible is really at the heart of everything we talk about!

This is making me want to dig into my copy of the Bloodroot Collective cookbook. Thank you for the inspiration!
I'm so glad Lagusta's Lucious is part of this! I'm always amazed and inspired by her. (And her salted Galapagos turtles.)
