There's a Food Mag for That

Bon Appetit is lovely, but sometimes you just need to read an article about eating a human placenta. (Right?) For when you want to switch it up from reading the well-known glossies, the Huffington Post shares a slideshow of some smaller-operation, more idiosyncratic options. From quirky mags with tattooed pigs on the front cover (Lucky Peach) to journals entirely dedicated to meat culture (Meatpaper, and yes, that exists), there’s a magazine for everyone in this mash-up of food publications. Such a variety of magazine enables us to open up the way we look at, and talk about food. (Though we love to cook, it’s not always just about the recipes.) A high-brow, academic discussion on hummus? There’s a place for that, and it’s in the recent James Beard award-winning Gastronomica. A ‘swimsuit’ issue dedicated to fried superfoods like lard pie? The Runcible Spoon has you covered. It’s a welcome change of pace, in more than one way: we spend all day bulking up your cooking list - here’s our chance to lengthen your reading list, too. You’d better get started. 16 Great Under-the-Radar Food Magazines from Huffington Post
