‘Daily Bread’

The little literary magazine exploring art, history and pop culture through food turns its attention to Bread for another stylishly presented mix of essays, stories and recipes. 

Focusing on the daily staple’s role in ritual, we hear about a New Yorker’s love for the sandwiches from his local bodega, the role of wheat in the board game Catan, and the problems caused by gluten in sacramental bread. Simple text layouts are brought to life by beautiful illustrations throughout.
