Lola Lauer is a visual artist living in Chicago with a background in farming and sustainable food systems. In her recent book, Cookbook for the Gentle Going, she approaches cooking from the lens of one living among broken food systems and the straining alienation of capitalism regrettably familiar to us all. She endeavors to remind us that there are tiny acts of revolution that we can bring to each day by cooking for ourselves and cooking for others. Cooking as an art practice for slowing. In this world, in this time, where attention so often feels commodified, and tenderness can seem scarce and futile.
