The Plant

The Plant Issue 4 has arrived in the shop and it's a beauty!

CEREAL

The last [for this year] of fantastic magazines to arrive on our new publications category at fen and ned. We are so pleased to offer the very FIRST issue of this stunning UK magazine, Cereal. 

Editor Rosa Park along with countless other talented people from around the globe, have created a modern food and travel magazine packed with visual beauty and inspiring articles on both food and places from around the world. Here's what they have to say about Cereal:

What is Cereal? Foremost, it’s a magazine rooted in our passions – for food, for travel. And for books too, with all the wonderful things they can teach us. Isn’t every day better when you learn something new? We believe that the enjoyment of food and travel are two significant elements of a good life, and more and more of us are in a position to enjoy both on a fairly regular basis now – so much so, that knowing what to experience first can be daunting at times. This is where we come in. Each quarterly issue of Cereal will contain detailed expositions of edible topics, travel destinations, as well as profiles on products, people and places – chosen because they’re relevant, interesting, or have simply caught our attention. Because we adore books and their inherent ability to teach, we have structured our magazine as one. Each topic is treated as a chapter, often featuring various articles within it (including a bibliography, when applicable)This allows you to explore a subject in depth, giving it the attention and focus it deserves. With the goal of making something timeless, by crafting and curating a tactile experience, we hope Cereal, like a good book, can be read over and over again. We’ve also made sure that Cereal is a visual feast. Beautiful imagery and design can turn a decent volume into an inspired one, and we think people learn better with pictures. Children’s books are intrinsically visual, so why not apply that ethos to our content too? In part, Cereal is aimed at our inner child. Back when we were little, we learned many a fun fact from the back of cereal boxes. One of our fondest memories of childhood is of waking up to a huge bowl of something crunchy and milky, devouring the words and pictures on the back of the packet. These boxes were the first thing we read each day, and they taught and entertained us. Hence, Cereal. We hope to become your morning read.

A taster [sorry] of Cereal

Gather Journal

Another quality publication has arrived at fen and ned, a firm favourite. Gather Journal is packed full of beautiful recipes, and equally beautiful photography. This 120 page bi-annual publication created by Michele Outland and Fiorella Vadesolo, in NYC. Here's what they have to say about the current issue of Gather Journal, 'traces' 

Welcome to Gather Journal, a bi-annual recipe-driven food magazine devoted not just to cooking and eating, but to what those acts inspire: the bringing of people together. You will find lushly imagined images from some of the country’s most esteemed food photographers and fun, insightful writing. Each issue is divided into chapters, much like a meal—amuse bouches, starters, mains, and desserts—along with regular special features, from studied examinations of ingredients to whimsical essays about memorable eating experiences. A theme will drive every edition of the magazine; for the F/W 2013 issue, that theme is “traces”. It is word with a multitude of meanings: they are memories, an indication of the tiniest amount, evidence of something that once existed. You will find recipes that have traces of family history, having been carefully shepherded through generations, recipes with elegant visual traces, and recipes that leave traces of their own presence behind. Here’s to our F/W issue leaving its own indelible trace in your kitchen and making a meal to remember.

We're so pleased to have Gather Journal at fen and ned. Not only for it's outstanding quality and content, but it's also worth noting that you can enjoy this publication without having to thumb through countless advertisements, 118 ad free pages, soak it up! Gather Journal available to buy here.
