ONE MAGAZINE
TWO COVERS
Volume 09
‘Something Familiar’
In this first shift from bi-annual magazine to a more thoughtful, in-depth annual publication, we bring you a myriad of stories to slow down and savour. This book is a keepsake of memories, conversations and imagination to keep you company over quiet mornings, cups of coffee, or long, lazy afternoons. But, more than that, a lovingly designed piece to treasure for life.
STORIES
PAST ISSUES
In Volume 08 we celebrate stories of fortitude and resilience. The pages are filled of the gentle magic people have woven into the everyday, even in the hardest of circumstances. We see and honour their strength in these stories, and celebrate the bright hope they carry. May some of it find you through each page.
Featured in this issue, writer Ben Drinkwater delves into the world of renowned food writer M.F.K. Fisher. We also sit down with Sami Tamimi and hear about his childhood growing up in West Jerusalem and how food keeps him rooted in his culture.
Editors Ola travels further afield to Mykonos, a magical respite from the hustle and bustle of the everyday. Alissa Timoshkina reflects beautifully on her memories about growing up in Omsk, Russia and the conflicting feelings that accompany them.
Join us for Volume 07 where we explore the concept of Togetherness. From desserts that taste best when shared, like our Almond & Honey Cake, to Courgette Carbonara made by mother and daughter. Drinks writer & broadcaster Abbie Moulton explores the age-old adage "what grows together, goes together". Food writer and self-professed egg enthusiast Ed Smith is on a mission to increase egg consumption in his piece ‘Happiness is Egg Shaped’. Our team also brings you along to their travels to Athens, Greece where they marvel at the monuments old and new.

Salt is the star of this issue and shows up in almost every story and recipe; and we even asked Jennifer Cunningham, a self-proclaimed lover of salt, to share her devotion to the tangy spice in a form of a love letter. With every ingredient, we always look to delve a little deeper, so we brought in the experts from the Welsh salt company Halen Môn to share the knowledge that they’ve gained over the years. Our Creative Director, Ola O. Smit has brought us a moody photo essay full of festive recipes to get you through these cold winter months.
To remind us of those warmer months, we’ve also ventured out to Auburn, a restaurant in Los Angeles where Chef Eric Bost drew inspiration from comfortable, homely spaces for the design of his restaurant. We also visit Evangeline Harbury’s home, where she shares her travel photos from Cuba and regales us with stories of discovery, new friends and of course, food. We never miss a chance to bring light to the good thats being done in the food industry, our interview with chef Doug McMaster talks about his food journey and how he’s working to make restaurants greener.
