“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.”
