An indulgent treat,Eaten is a tri-annual magazine reveals the forgotten ingredients of food history, delving into culinary traditions, lost recipes and the rituals behind them.
What grabbed us about this issue…
This issue ‘Dessert’ feels a bit like a treat. There’s an article about the history of the (non-existent) Betty Crocker that’s worth spending some time with. If you’re into activism, there’s a piece about activist and baker Mary Jane Rathbun, who risked jail to bake marijuana brownies for AIDS patients in 80s San Francisco. This issue surprised us in many ways - from how sugar has transformed our politics to the importance of ice-cream in Castro’s Cuba.
Who’s Eaten for?
Eatenis one for when you want to take a quiet moment to learn something new - and possibly bizarre! This would suit you if you enjoy a longer read, as each themed issue acts as a deep dive into a specific culinary topic. You can tell that the research extends beyond the article itself, as each piece is paired with carefully selected artwork from the historical archives. Think of it as a fun way to look at familiar topics from a different, quirky angle.
