Drawings and prose-recipes by Alex Rossiter

“Inside the apartment, shrouded by net curtains, the kitchen is close to bare—but, importantly, not so…”

Zine of Alex Rossiter’s pencil drawings of the eponymous vessels combined with prose journaling and resourceful recipes bound up in Alex’s memory with periods in his life when in various countries he has been a postman, a cook, a baker, and, wherever he’s been, an artist and a poet.

The six prose-recipes are: “Postman’s Brunch,” “Scrambled Eggs in Montmartre,” “Winter in Berlin Is a Hard-Boiled Egg,” “Chleb Zwykły into Pain Perdu,” “The Color Apricot,” and “Cold Spring Yoghurt and Sugar.”

Alex Rossiter is an artist and writer originally from Bristol, UK. A painter and collagist, he has worked variously as a baker, postman, chef, and illustrator. He is the author of Notes from a Polish Allotment and Coffeepots, both from Bored Wolves. A memoir, Bread and Houses, Or, How I Came to Know the Parks of East Bristol, is forthcoming from BW in 2024. He currently lives on the Baltic coast of Poland.
