Sampler: Peddler Journal, The Childhood Issue

“Food has the power to convey sentiments that words sometimes cannot.” When I spoke to Hetty McKinnon, editor of Peddler Journal, I felt her affinity for connecting with people through food. Telling human stories through recipes, the Brooklyn-based magazine embodies her love for feeding others.

This Childhood issue sees food writers reminisce over their favourite home cooked dishes. From Israeli Borekas to Portuguese tarts, simple chow miens to a delicate “Not Shark Fin Soup” (below), the wide variety of recipes are unassuming and nostalgia-triggering.
