Curated by Shane Bugbee, a renowned underground publisher and counterculture icon, this collection isn’t just a peek into the pantry—it’s a journey through the radical lives of two of America’s most controversial revolutionaries.
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn were leaders of the Weather Underground, an organization that challenged the U.S. government through bold direct actions and underground movements in the 1960s and 70s. Despite their tumultuous careers as political fugitives and social activists, one thing remained constant: the power of a shared meal. From dishes cooked in hiding to hearty family recipes served during activist gatherings, this cookbook weaves together food and radicalism, offering readers a unique lens into how shared meals fueled the movement and strengthened bonds.
