Soup, soup, and more soup -- six soup recipes in all. Why all this emphais on soup? Because Jill introduced this issue with her ideas about starting a soup co-op. She proposes that people form small groups to exchange excess soup after each member prepares a large batch. Sounds like a great idea for expaning our food horizons. Continuing in that vein, *Street News* writer Lee Stringer commented upon the fine cuisine at Saint Luke's Soup Kitchen. Also included is winter pleasures (food, not the other one), quick vegitarian cooking, Elvis cuisine, and "Nine things to do when your don't want to cook."

Much of the resources are local (NYC) but that shouldn't limit this zine's appeal as it's so packed full of valuable information. Like many zines this one has a reader survey but this one is very extensive, covering herbal health -- I'm looking foward to the results. Weed of the Month is Yellow Dock, useful for cleansing the body. They also printed the first part of an extensive article on herbal abortions.

Dave Prodell turns in three poems that deserve mention: the senusal ode to "Pancakes" (all that dripping syrup); "Jammin," a sweet and sticky come-on; and the meaty "Lunchmeat." throw in some great photos and cartoons and you've got a hearty meal. All in all, this is a sweet package of goodies. $4 Each , Subs: $14.00 for 4 issues to Cheryl Carmi, P.O.

Lots of major wine advertising but editorially they're very agressive. Psyched! The *Wine Trader* has finally set up a special section for beer. This issue's "Beer Trader" suppliment has three articles, all reprints, all fine reading. Kerry Byrne on the history of American beer; Steve Johnson defining beer; and a quick look at the Mendocino Brewing Company. As always the wine reports are informative and spirited (ha ha). E. Edward Boyd reported on NAFTA; Steven Michael Russon told us about films shot in Napa; and Jerry D. Mead complained (apprpriately) about everthing. Lots of ads for helpful wine tools & products. Unfortunately it's still too "upper" for my wine styling. Anything around $6.00 a bottle that tastes good OK by me. $4 Each , Subs: $18.00 for 6 issues to Wine Trader, P.O.
