The Gourmand
Nella crescente editoria di food è appena nato il numero 00 di The Gourmand un bizzarro titolo per chef di lifestyle con tendenza socialite.
Immerso nella visione che il cibo è condivisione, il magazine si è aperto con una cena tra redattori e artisti finiti sul numero zero.
Il layout è curato da Inventory London che lo fa diventare subito un must have dei designer. Alle interviste dove/come/cosa rispondono i redattori: Paul Teasdale writer di Frieze magazine, Rod Stanley editor di Dazed&Confused che ha raccontato il tour gastronomico londinese insieme ai Two Bears Raf Rundell e Joe Goddard, Jean Jullien che ha curato alcune illustrazioni ma anche l’artista Ed Fella.
Le immagini di Jamie Brown e Luke Kirwan riflettono il movimento dell’arte del xx secolo attraverso il cibo ma c’è anche la ricetta di gnocchi di mela di Jeff Koons e le foto svedesi di cibo svedese e il racconto di una cena con David Shrigley come fosse una rubrica di Dan Crowe.
A Gourmand is a person who takes pleasure and interest in food of all kinds and The Gourmand is a new food and culture journal that binds inspirational words, images and ideas with the humble and universal subject of food.
Based in London, The Gourmand is inspired not only by a true passion for food and dining but by the exciting influx of new restaurants, bars, cafe’s, stalls and ingredients that are increasingly available to us. The Gourmand was born as a means to share this exciting cultural shift and to celebrate food as a catalyst for creativity.
The Gourmand is the culmination of a journey which began with a dinner at our home with friends, many of whom have contributed to this first issue.As we dined we discussed our initial ideas for editorial, illustration and photography projects and it has been a pleasure to watch these ideas form in to the journal you are about to read.
The creation of The Gourmand is a testament to the communicative power of food, and its inherent relationship with the arts. We hope you enjoy the first issue as much as we have enjoyed the process of creating it.
