fondfoodzine:Fond, in day to day English speaking, is an adjetive that means to be affectionate towards, usually in a doting and wholesome way. It’s also a French culinary term for the delicious cooked-on bits and juices at the bottom of a pan you can use to make stellar sauces and soups! This zine is about turning a hodgepodge of bits and pieces into more than the sum of its parts.WHAT’S INSIDE?FOND is a multimedia charity zine project by the same dude who brought you LET’S RELATE! It will have both print and digital versions, and all profits will be donated to Feeding America! I’m looking for any and every kind of content that can be mashed in its pages! Poetry, comics, embroidery, illustrations, stories, wherever your creativity lies is welcome with open arms, on one condition:Arranged by recipe type, FOND is intended to not only be a fun-to-read booklet for a good cause, but a functioning cookbook. Exact amounts aren’t necessary, and the pieces don’t have to be straightforward linear steps, but I want people to be able to marvel at how cool this zine is, then turn around and walk into the kitchen with it and make a snack. Write a ballad about your technique for a perfect omelette! Build a sculpture out of Popsicle sticks that detail your favorite stir fry! Foods from all skill levels, diets, and countries of origin are encouraged!WHY FEEDING AMERICA?Though the idea came to me during the scare that Meals on Wheels was being straight up defunded, this has since proven to be a misconception, and that grants helping an array of poverty-aiding programs are what is on the line. Due to the widespread nature of this looming threat, I wanted to pick something that had widespread impact on a variety of impoverished groups, including but not solely for elders. Food banks are a HUGE help to people, especially families, and are often a lifesaver in the chunk of time before SNAP benefits reset. Additionally, since the majority of goods people get through them are ingredients rather than meals, I thought it would be super clever to have a cookbook focus!(That being said, if something comes out of left field, be it the government targeting a different similar program head-on or Feeding America doing something horrible sometime in the near future, I may ask contributors if shifting our donations would be alright, so long as it stays food justice related!)HOW DO I GET IN ON THIS???Apply right here!Deadline for applications is 4/15/17Deadline for finished pieces is 5/15/2017 -- source link
