Burn your bras NOT your cakes!

This collection includes more than 80 recipes; from Jane Goodall Monkey Bread to Eleanor Roosevelvet Cake to Missy Elliot Shoopa Dupa Fly Pie, each of the recipes incorporates wordplay, brilliant quotes, vibrant illustrations, and hints at the irony of feminism in the kitchen. Empowdered Sugar was created to inspire women in and outside the kitchen by honoring stories of women’s sweet success.
