NJ SPICE

I keep meaning to tell you about Alimentum, a nifty literary journal I subscribe to, “the only literary review all about food.”  Each issue (there are two per year), is full of food-themed essays, poetry, and other creative work, such as woodcuts by Mark Kurlansky (“Cod,” “Salt,” etc) in the Summer 2009 issue. Visit the website for tantalizing excerpts from current and past issues.  I always find plenty to mentally chew on in Alimentum, and it makes a great gift subscription for your foodie friends, too.
