Publisher’s description (150 words): Alimentum - The Literature of Food serves you food in its finest form; sating a loftier appetite: juicy paragraphs, tasty stanzas, mouth-watering stories, surprisingly succulent essays. Our writers and poets capture food’s elusive character (it’s not just about what’s on your plate). Stories that dish up life’s events – sweet and salty. Well-seasoned essays and poems make feasts of our daily bread.
Some of our contributors include Mark Kurlansky, Oliver Sacks, Joanna Torrey, Ann Hood, Tim Stark, Carly Sachs, Dick Allen, and Donald Newlove.
In addition to our biannual print journal, we have a bite-sized online journal (with podcasts) that changes quarterly.
Savor the word of food.
“Alimentum, a new journal about food, is small enough to carry with you for mental and aesthetic nourishment breaks.” — Florence Fabricant, The New York Times
“The pieces provide wonderfully thought-provoking snacking, best taken a nibble at a time to prolong the pleasure.” — Robin Maher Jenkins, Chicago Tribune
