Whetstone Magazine
Volume 10
Volume 10 digs into various nooks and crannies of food history and regional cuisines. From the forests that provide the wood for Argentine asados, to the humble and drought-tolerant millets that can replace maize in Zimbabwe, to Harriet Tubman’s home in Auburn, New York, these are the stories that are right in front of us, yet ripe for exploration. We also look at the ideal spot for oyster farming, the cuisine of Turkey’s Black Sea region, a personal relationship with the cuy of Peru and a not-so-sweet history of sugar beet farming.
Rasa: Volume 01
“Rasa” means quintessence; it also refers to the sensory experience of relishing a meal. In the pages of our first issue, you will find expressions of this commitment through deeply researched stories and nuanced photography from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh.
“Lovingly produced on thick paper stock with gorgeous photos, the issue offers a series of vignettes from around the globe featuring people using food to make meaning in a world torn by colonialism and racism.”
