'Your Plant-First Zine'
Petite and playful, Rebel Roots explores the ever-growing world of plant-based cuisine, with stories that ‘aim to inspire your creativity in the kitchen, foster a deeper appreciation for seasonal ingredients, and provide you with practical tools to incorporate them into your daily life.’ Each issue focuses on a single ingredient—first came the tomato, followed by the pumpkin—and for this third issue, the team turn to the perennially popular mushroom.
Inside, find pieces on why mushrooms aren't plants, their psychedelic and medicinal properties and a guide to growing your own oyster mushrooms at home. Plus, features on mycelium and the circular economy, a puppet-maker-turned mushroom farmer in Stockport, Italy's ‘trailblazing truffle maestro’ and a round-up of fungi-flavoured recipes. Accompanied by punny hand scrawled illustrations throughout.
