CHOCOLATE

By Martynka Wawrzyniak

MADE IN GERMANY: MAINI

This one is actually only partly made in Germany, namely the concept, packaging and distribution. The content – tastiest pure olive oil – comes from Greece, or rather Maini, to be precise. Hence the name, right. So Maini is a small Berlin-based company importing olive oil from Greece, adding a clear aesthetic and a lot [...]

LUCKY PEACH

Food journals are certainly on vogue these days, but hey, when it’s someone like McSweeneys treading the path, you know it will be worth your time. Coming soon: Lucky Peach, a new quarterly by the wonderful multi-publishing imprint with a smile under the auspices of our recent cover star Dave Eggers. Lucky Peach is all [...]

EDIBLE PEN

With my pen-chewing-plastic-addiction this could be the answer – the edible pen.  Dave Hakkens has developed an edible pen that is made out of 22 pieces of sugary candy (similar to those in candy necklaces). The only part that cannot be consumed is the small tip, which can be thrown away or transferred to another refill [...]

CONDIMENT ISSUE 02: QUESTIONABLE TASTE

I am enjoying the latest installment that is Condiment Issue 02: Questionable Taste. This issue has been produced in collaboration with BLESS with the BLESS lookbook N° 42 Plädoyer der Jetztzeit published inside the magazine as image shards on each page. In this latest issue you’ll also find another enjoyable interview with Christoph Keller. Christoph [...]

FINE WINE

It’s slightly amusing to read an exhibition statement like this on the page of a museum for modern art: ‘Wine is a potent force in contemporary life, perhaps the only comestible to produce its own visual culture. How Wine Became Modern, the first exhibition of its kind, looks at the world of wine and [...]

MONA stands for the Museum of Old and New Art and MONA FOMA stands for the MONA Festival of Music and Art and it’s called MOFO for short. If you find yourself at the end and other side of the world this summer (yes, it’s summer in January here!) you may be very interested in [...]

Yum

Swallow is my new favourite food magazine. It is bi-annual and in hardcover and pretty.
The second release is the Trans-Siberian issue, moving from Moscow through Irkutsk, Ulaanbaatar and Beijing. The focus upon Russia might seem a little odd for a food magazine, but Swallow presents a food-themed study of culture that is all the more [...]

CONDIMENT – ADVENTURES IN FOOD AND FORM

Condiment – Adventures in Food and Form is a really intriguing new publication and project that I have recently come across. I bought it as something more offbeat to give to a friend (who loves food and cooking) for their birthday. And then I liked it so much I had to subscribe! Condiment explores the [...]

ACCEPT THE GOOD

Accept the good – this is the mantra of Abigail Crompton from Third Drawer Down. Abi has just become a member of the inaugural Australian, The Enriched List!   You’ve heard of Rich Lists but how about The Enriched List?
“The Enriched List highlights people who are using their skills, talents and dreams to give more [...]
