REMINDER: There are still a few days left to pitch for our collaborative FFJ x chlorophyll magazine ‘architecture of food’ issue! Slide your pitches into our inbox by February 10th.
As January comes to a close, we’re sharing the latest edition of our sometimes semi-, sometimes fully annual resource-roundup FFJ Recommends (you can find previous editions listed here) for our premium subscribers.
As with last year’s newsletter, we’ve sourced recommendations from our amazing community of writers, interviewees, and guest editors, including Lira Green, Apoorva Sripathi, Shena Cavello, Naomi Robert, and Chiara Bergonzini.
If you’re not yet a premium subscriber, now is a great time to consider becoming one: for less than the cost of a cup of coffee per month, you can help us to pay our writers fairly and keep our work going. You’ll also get access to audio readings of most essays, as well as free tickets to all Feminist Food Friends (FFF) events.

I started the year off on a bit of a reading kick. I finished (late!) All Consuming, Ruby Tandoh’s excellent analysis of the forces that shape our food choices, and I am honoured to be among the first people to receive a review copy of The Spinster Cookbook, Eli Davies’ forthcoming meditation on eating and living as a single woman in a society that privileges couples and families. (It has great resonance with a piece on dining alone by Candice Chung forthcoming in our CELEBRATE issue.)
