Abstract
Bete’avon Y’all is a 56 page, zine-style cookbook that contains 14 different illustrated recipes. Each of the recipes contain varying degrees of fusion between Jewish and Southern food cultures. The zine functions as a project that not only reflected what was my personal relationship with food but also something that can be shared with others in a physical format.
