Serviette, Issue 05
In Issue 05, Serviette unfolds their maps in search of how places inform what, how and yes, where we eat. Swing by West Yorkshire’s Rhubarb Triangle to see why their stalks pop up extra-fast and dive into the work of a Palestinian artist who uses fermentation as a metaphor for displacement.
Visit the gardens of a B.C. farmer growing tropical fruit very far from the tropics, and we tag along for a seal meat delivery at an Inuit arts centre in Ottawa. And author Sheima Benembarek shares a story of a reluctant cooking lesson with her mother, using a spice mix from their hometown of Rabat in her Quebec kitchen.
"Serviette is a magazine about food: the people who grow and produce it, the distances we travel to eat it, and all the ways it’s tangled up with culture, science, history, and design. We bring together irresistible storytelling, eye-catching design, and thoughtful contributors to explore food’s journey from seed to stomach (and even out into space). Serviette captures the best sort of dinner-party conversation: wide-reaching, digressive, and wildly informative and entertaining."
