Free-From Baking
Hey if you're someone who likes to cook and bake a lot, and you also live with/encounter food allergies and intolerances in your day-to-day lives, then this book may be of interest to you:
The Elements of Baking: Making any recipe gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free or vegan by Katarina Cermelj
Release Date: October 3rd 2024
This book is advertised as "the ultimate allergy-friendly cookbook" and I believe it. I've seen photos of this book, and a video on the author's personal Tiktok page that shows it in a bit more detail and I think it looks incredible.
As well as clear visual markers to show which recipes are free from certain ingredients, there are also pictures included for some recipes to show what they should look like if they are gluten-free, egg-free, soy-free etc. Which I think is amazing.
My lactose intolerance and love of baking may make me biased, but I was already excited for this book when it was shown to me before I even looked at Cermelj's website for more information, and now I'm even more so.
Cermelj's site, The Loopy Whisk, also allows you to search for recipes by dietary requirement and recipe type!
She has another cookbook, released in 2022, with details on gluten-free recipes!
If anyone has any other recommendations for allergy/intolerance-friendly cookbooks and recipe books, please let me know! I'd love to add more to the archive!

Calling vegetarian/veganism a “white people thing” as some fucking racist bullshit lmao
I am Afro-caribbean and Indian. Firstly India has the highest vegetarian population in the world, and in the Caribbean the rastafari have their whole ital movement/diet - which my Jamaican father is a massive believer in.
Y’know what other countries have massive populations of vegetarians and vegans? Mexico. Taiwan. Ethiopia. The fuck do you mean it’s a “white thing”?

Insects and Other Animals Have Consciousness, Experts Declare
A group of prominent biologists and philosophers announced a new consensus: There’s “a realistic possibility” that insects, octopuses, crustaceans, fish and other overlooked animals experience consciousness.
In 2022, researchers at the Bee Sensory and Behavioral Ecology Lab at Queen Mary University of London observed bumblebees doing something remarkable: The diminutive, fuzzy creatures were engaging in activity that could only be described as play.
Given small wooden balls, the bees pushed them around and rotated them. The behavior had no obvious connection to mating or survival, nor was it rewarded by the scientists. It was, apparently, just for fun.
The study on playful bees is part of a body of research that a group of prominent scholars of animal minds cited today, buttressing a new declaration that extends scientific support for consciousness to a wider suite of animals than has been formally acknowledged before.
For decades, there’s been a broad agreement among scientists that animals similar to us — the great apes, for example — have conscious experience, even if their consciousness differs from our own.
In recent years, however, researchers have begun to acknowledge that consciousness may also be widespread among animals that are very different from us, including invertebrates with completely different and far simpler nervous systems...
