Issue #11 of Remedy Quarterly is on select newsstands now.
I admit to having a soft spot for small magazines… especially ones that are related to food in some way or another. I love (and subscribe to) Kinfolk and Lucky Peach, I pick up and devour local editions of Edible wherever I see them piled up. There is really something comforting and profoundly enjoyable about reading about and learning from all of these great food writers, photographers, chefs, restaurant owners, grandmothers… the people who are motivated enough by their love of food to want to share the bounty with others. Plus I still find myself partial to looking at pages rather than screens.
So imagine my surprise and delight when I happened upon Remedy Quarterly, a small book-like magazine that bills itself as a collection of “stories of food [and] recipes for feeling good.” I bought it immediately, of course.
It’s been around for a few years, and the theme of the current issue (#11) is GROW. But you get all kinds of approaches to that concept. Sure we have the how to grow a gigantic pumpkin story, but there is also a piece on how San Fransisco’s Mission Pie grows it’s community, how one women grew an impressive collection of vintage American cookbooks, how a pregnant mama worried that her citrus cravings would result in her growing an orange baby. All compelling, and many with delicious recipes to try out as well.
There is also a lovely website and blog (it is 2014 after all) both of which I see myself returning to with some frequency.
The magazine is available at a few bookstores and foodie spots (like Marlow & Sons and Depanneur in Brooklyn) but a subscription guarantees you don’t miss out. Oh and they have a mother’s day special going on right now, so get on it!
