NOURISHED SUMMER 2014 ISSUE NOW ON SALE

I am thrilled to announce that the second edition of the NOURISHED magazine is now available for download.

This edition contains 52 pages of beautiful photographs with 21 recipes (13 gluten free) and 3 stories that capture the essence of Summer. The magazine has been designed to look beautiful on both screen and in print with large format captures of ingredients and full dishes!

Blurb -

To simply give in to the luxury of an un-fussed Summer life.

In this Summer issue, we dwell on The Shift in both palate and mind as we gravitate towards lighter and fresher meals. The dishes are intentionally convenient allowing more time to enjoy the season. This issue focuses on simplifying and lightening our plate and life.

In our feature articles, we explore the different tastes of Summer and delve into the dichotic worlds of corn and ice cream, two of the most evocatively Summer-y foods with story and recipe inspirations.

I am also changing a couple of logistical things, to make the magazine accessible to more people. At the end of the day my interest and that of FOODLY is to make food inspirations affordable, so more people can believe that cooking and eating well is entirely approachable and budget friendly.

1. Pricing: The new issue is priced at $2 for the digital version! I will give a disclaimer, that I receive only half that amount after taxes and fees and request you to please spread the word and encourage your friends to buy their own copy.

2. Format: Going forward the issue will be primarily digital based as it is then easily portable into your kitchen, on your tablet, without the worry of spills. However, print copies will still be available through a third party printer, here. I have to be honest in saying that printing and shipping costs are prohibitively expensive and the pricing appears skewed due to that. However, I am offering a free online version with every print purchase to sweeten the purchase. Full disclosure, I make no additional margin on the print copies.

Thank you for your continued support! I look forward to your feedback on the magazine.

Enjoy Summer!

My heart bleeds blue...

Blue skies, blue seas, crisp corn, luscious berries... That's what I am thinking of this Summer! :)

Today is just a quick stop with some photos from the weekend. I also wanted to give a sneak peak at the theme of the next NOURISHED issue. It is all about enjoying the different tastes of Summer and taking time to relax, enjoy the good things in your life and share the laughter and fun with friends and family! :)

Issue will be out in 1 WEEK!! Wow! I running to wrap things up.

Meanwhile, I will let you bask in how gorgeous and colorful I think Summer can be! :)

Happy Monday! What are your weekend stories?

An ANNOUNCEMENT, A MAGAZINE And a New LIFE

At the turn of this year, I mentioned several projects lined up to take off over the course of the year. The first was the launch of my photography portfolio that has brought me in touch with people unexpected!

Today, I have another announcement to make - the launch of a new quarterly food magazine,

NOURISHED

.

Over the past several years of writing this blog, I have taken a journey that has been immensely gratifying not only in the knowledge acquired but also in the personal connections with so many of you. I have grown in many ways and I have learnt. This magazine is one of my ways of giving back what I have gained through personal triumphs and failures. It is my way of acknowledging that the heart of the family is in the kitchen and in the laughter around the table and wanting to make that happen for everyone.

Within this magazine lies a desire to make eating sustainably not just good but great, inspired and entirely approachable. Every issue will include stories, recipes and photographs to encourage a seasonable and sustainable way of eating while remaining wholesome and healthful. Through stories, debates and features on inspiring businesses, I hope to spread the message of taking pleasure in food and doing with respect for the land that it comes from. My sincere hope is that you will join with me in this journey and spread the message far and wide.

I am extremely thrilled about where this new adventure is going to take me and who I am going to meet and what I do along the way!!!

So without further ado, I present to you the inaugural issue of the magazine, REBIRTH, timed with Spring 2014! This issue is all about rejuvenation, freshness, and being filled with hope.

The issue is out now for purchase in digital and print formats for the introductory pricing of $5 and $10 respectively. For details on the book, a preview inside and to purchase, please visit
