Eaten No.27

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 is titled 'Temptations' and its all about the history of wanting things that we cannot have. We kept coming back to a piece following the bizarre origins of fake food in Japanese restaurant culture. Or, if you're looking for something a little more indulgent, you might enjoy a look at the decadent history of chocolate. 

Who’s Eaten  for?

Eaten is 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.
