“53 Brain Food. Part high-brow food ’zine, part scholarly journal, the quarterly publication GASTRONOMICA has been at the top of our bedside reading pile since its inception, in 2001. Rarefied but unpretentious, each issue is an artfully curated collection of essays, poems, art, and journalistic reportage. Whether it's an article titled “Labor, Migration, and Social Justice in the Age of the Grape Boycott” or a tribute to the artist Vik Muniz's portraits of children rendered in sugar, Gastronomica's fare never fails to nourish us.” | View Web site
