Depression Cooking
2022 - ongoing
In 2022, I wrote a humble zine called Depression Cooking, easy recipes for when you’re depressed as fuck. The zine was first published with support from artseverywhere.ca, PS Guelph, Hamilton Artists Inc, and later the Disability Justice Network of Ontario, initially given away for free. After five quick print runs, I had distributed over 2,000 copies of the zine. It was popular, and I was tired. Due to capacity limitations, the zine is no longer in print but exists forever as a free downloadable pdf here: DepressionCooking.PDF
I am currently expanding the zine into a full length book which will be published with ECW Press in the fall of 2026. The book has taken the form of a food memoir, with illustrations, lists and comics. Pick up Depression Cooking feeding yourself when it all feels too hard at your favourite independent bookstore or borrow it from your local library once it hits shelves!
