F* Your Boss, Eat My Sauce is, yes, a cookbook—but it’s also a statement. It’s a labor of love by fino burgos, a clinical herbalist and chef who began their work in Big Sur and now lives in northern New Mexico. The book blends herbalism, recipes and essays focused not just on sauce, but also on resistance to dominance and coercion in the workplace—all 52 pages bound together with poetic threads of punk and anarchist undertones. As the author puts it, it’s a “feed your friends—not capitalism” cookbook. RSVP is required for this book release event. [KR]
