4 Spring 2025 | edibleseattle.com BOOKSHELF SNACK AWAY TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY The Revolution Will Be Well Fed is a celebration of activism, and fueling the work WORDS BY LINDSAY KUCERA | IMAGES COURTESY OF RASPBERRY BOW PRESS There’s a large bookshelf in my house dedicated solely to cookbooks. I have at least 100, from large, heavy tomes to small zines with boldly patterned covers. Each one serves a different purpose—some I refer to like a dictionary, some are filled with notes and clippings, some I’ve read cover-to-cover, like a novel. There are post-it notes in almost every one, and many have been warped by splattering sauces and dotted with hot oil, the pages sticking together. When I received a copy of Corrie Locke-Hardy’s cookbook, The Revolution Will Be Well Fed, I knew which camp the book would fall into—I read the book all in one go, over several cups of coffee. Locke-Hardy is the person behind The Tiny Activist, an organization that helps educators build Anti-Bias, Anti-Racist (ABAR) curricula. In addition to being an educator herself, Locke-Hardy is a former pastry chef, and has created a cookbook that brings her skill sets together. When you first flip through the book, it’s easy to be intimidated by the solid chapters of text—albeit with fun block fonts and colorful images—something that Locke-Hardy addresses immediately, by declaring she hasn’t written a textbook with a few recipes sprinkled in. And she hasn’t—the book is chock-a-block full of information about historical and current social Image by Manuela Insixiengmay
