AWAM: Anime Was A Mistake – Details, episodes & analysis

We are excited to have baker and author Abi Balingit (@theduskykitchen) with us to talk X-Files, cute girls who cook, the Harper Collins Union (@hcpunion) strike, and her debut cookbook Mayumu (LINK)! Pre-orders are now live!

In this episode, we talk all 12 episodes of Gourmet Girl Graffiti as well as Abi's baking origin story. We share our mutual love of the X-FIles and the feelings of imposter syndrome. Most importantly we are just so hungry watching this delightful slice of life.
