Monthly food literature

Yummy magazine

In a bookstore, if I had to choose between a cookbook and a volume on ecology, I would usually take the latter. Between food and current affairs magazine, my instinct is to take the latter.

Food blogging has been changing my reading habits slowly, however. Now and then, I tend to look at the different magazines available in the newsstands. I now look forward to each month and see what’s available in the glossies, hoping that they feature more Filipino food.

This month, Yummy Magazine has its maiden issue. It looks like a cooking magazine, albeit for fast and simple recipes. Although I would like to see a bit more in-depth articles, what I appreciate about Yummy Magazine is how it is meticulously organised, such as step-by-step pictures for a tricky procedure and a recipe index by category.

Overall, it has awakened my curiosity as to what lies ahead. More Filipino food features, perhaps?

    i browsed a couple of pinoy food glossies when i was there but was a little bit disappointed with the articles. The pictures we alright. Excellent food photography. But I was expecting more essence, more depth in the craft of food writing.Food writing is ,in itself, something to savour. Di ba?
