Siue Moffat

Siue Moffat is a Canadian vegan chocolatier, cookbook author, filmmaker, zine maker, video activist and film archivist.[1] She began writing zines in the late 1980s. Her two-page zine, "Roy Spim", was cited as life changing, blunt, and fearless by an author of a reflection at Broken Pencil.[2]

Moffat collaborated with musician and multimedia artist Jonathan Culp on a collective video and zine distribution initiative in the late 1990s.[3][4] She was very involved in the punk community (DIY ethic) doing volunteer administrative work on the "Book Your Own Fucking Life" site (a free online resource for independent artists and promoters, once a hard copy zine published by Maximumrocknroll), and wrote columns about archiving media in the deceased magazine HeartattaCk.[5]

Moffat's career as an author also includes two editions of vegan dessert cookbooks called Lickin' the Beaters.[6] Including 77 recipes, the book was illustrated and designed similarly to Moffat's zines.[7] The second edition (released during National Chocolate Week, 2010)[8] was described as "fun" in a guide to vegan cuisine.[9] In an interview that reflects on the author's career and interest in punk culture, Moffat described the book as organized around the theme of "good and evil."[10]

In 2008, she founded Boardwalk Chocolates, a fully vegan chocolatier.[1][11]
