Issue 23 – Dark Kitchen

For our final 'taster' from the new issue, no 23: Antonia Bertucci explores the sacrificial implications of Christianity and breastfeeding, and misogynistic taboos about the female body. With sporescape image by Nick Jordan.

In our fourth taster from our new issue, Dark Kitchen:, novelist Gregory Norminton serves up a deliciously dark short story about an exclusive dining club that is soon to have a taste of its own medicine. Menu illustrated by Graeme Walker.

In our third Dark Kitchen post, poets Nickole Brown and Emily Hasler serve up disconcerting dishes from the realms of fairy tales and rural Kentucky. With artwork by Peter Cameron and Superflux.

For our first Dark Kitchen dish: Simeon Ayres and Kate Long tell a heartening tale about baking sourdough loaves for their pandemic-struck hill community in Australia. With foraging and fermentation artwork by Pascal Baudar.

We are excited to announce the publication of our new spring issue, an assemblage of writing and art that investigates food culture in times of collapse. Today, we begin our feast with the editorial and cover artwork by David Lauer.
