Eaten No.26

An indulgent treat, Eaten is a tri-annual magazine reveals the forgotten ingredients of food history, delving into culinary traditions, lost recipes and the rituals behind them. What grabbed us about this issue… This issue, 'Picnics', looks at the history behind the summer tradition of eating outside. We kept coming back to an essay exploring how the iconic gingham pattern became a picnic staple. If you're into art, there's also a piece on the scandal of picnics in modernist painting that's worth a look. Who’s Eaten for? Eaten is one for when you want to take a quiet moment to learn something new - and possibly bizarre! This would suit you if you enjoy a longer read, as each themed issue acts as a deep dive into a specific culinary topic. You can tell that the research extends beyond the article itself, as each piece is paired with carefully selected artwork from the historical archives. Think of it as a fun way to look at familiar topics from a different, quirky angle. Type: Long-form, essay-led Pages: 125 Instagram: @eatenmag
