Tyranny, Table Manners, & Tiramisu

Tyranny, Table Manners & Tiramisu: Winter Cookbook of the Morally Disabled is a cookbook, yes-but it's also a look at the systems that keep most of us struggling while a select few hoard the feast. Through a series of rich, seasonal dishes, this book unpacks the policies, greed, and corruption that have siphoned resources from the many to fill the pockets of the few. The woodblock print illustrations bring the message home-satirical scenes of animals cooking, serving, and even hoarding, mirroring our world's power imbalances. A raccoon getting approval on the appetizers from a vulture, an overworked turtle doling out steaming corrupt Capitalism soup, a rabbit carefully tossing a salad of trickle-down tears-it all sets the stage for a meal where the ingredients tell a bigger story. But this book isn't just here to diagnose the problem-it's about what happens when we decide not to accept the scraps. Each recipe, from Thought & Prayers Poppers, Medicare Part F.U. soup, Both Sides Brussel Sprouts Salad, Military Industrial Pot Roast, to Tiered Tyranny Cake, serves as both a dish and a challenge: What if we stopped playing by their rules? What if we demanded better? What if, instead of waiting for crumbs, we braised the rich? A section on Table Manners, explores how etiquette-both at the dinner table and in politics-is weaponized to keep the powerful comfortable while silencing everyone else. And joining the Eatms Productions kitchen is Flint Ramones, a chef who understands that food isn't just sustenance-it's power. Chef's voice fits right in, cutting through the noise and getting to the heart of what's really on our plates.
