Issue Two: Water

We’re headed on holiday on July 15, 2023. Please place your orders for delivery prior to then, or please sit tight and wait for your copy to arrive after August 20, 2023!

Our second print issue is a 60-page celebration of First Nations, Black and People of Colour through the lens of food and culture.

The theme of Issue Two is ‘water’. Water flows through us and consumes us just as we consume it. It binds us together through oceans and waterways, allows us to migrate over it, nourishes us with food and drink, poses a threat with climate change, overfishing and drilling and fights against us with natural disasters.

Water is a symbol of life. It is spiritual or sacred to many and in this issue Gunditjmara woman Niyoka Bundle of Pawa Catering talks to Melissa Woodley about her familial connection to water; Neha Kale explores the significance of the oyster; Heli Yoon shines light on Herculean Korean fisherwomen; six exceptional chefs show off their water-inspired recipes (think a fish and taro soup by Tony Tan and a Negombo-style mud crab curry, pol sambol and pol roti by Gayan Pieris); and the magazine is bursting at the seams with beautiful photos and illustrations.

Funds raised have gone towards First Nations, Black and PoC chefs, writers, illustrators, designers, printers and photographers.

Due to the success of Issue One, we’ve increased our print run to 500 copies. The magazine was released on 27th January, 2022 with deliveries for existing orders issued out on the same day via Sendle.

We’re proud to have partnered with First Nations-owned printing press Indigi-Print for all our magazines, and we send out all eligible orders in compostable satchels by Sendle.

A portion of proceeds from all sales of Issue Two will go towards a First Nations-led organisation of our choice. Previously, we donated five per cent from sales to Common Ground.
