The Slow Violence Cook Book

The Slow Violence Cook Book is a mix of Sam Petersen’s writings and cake recipes. Sam writes about the slow violence that has happened to Sam and is still happening to Sam, interspersed with Sam’s cake recipes. The cakes are all the same cake but with different flavours to represent the sameness of Sam’s life and the constant ablelism, which is also
the same.

The Slow Violence Cook Book is also available for purchase via Sam Petersens website.
