Magazine F: Honey Issue 8

Magazine F is a food documentary magazine which focuses on one ingredient per issue. The magazine explores how each ingredient is grown, prepared, and shared in different cultures around the world, through in-depth interviews, inspiring stories, and beautiful photos.The magazine originates in Korea, where it is published roughly 6 times a year. But as part of its quest to examine the use of foods worldwide, it features information on many locations, traditions, cooks, and producers. This issue on honey includes a visit to Corsica, reputedly a paradise for bees because of its abundance of flowering plants and stringent environmental regulation. Two prominent Corscian apiculturists are profiled, as is an April honey festival on the island. A separate article looks at wild honey hunting styles in places as diverse as Bangladesh and Mozambique, and another looks at urban beekeepers in Berlin, Tokyo, London, Paris and Seoul.A brief list of honeys from around the world makes it clear that honey is a truly local product: linden honey from Russia, sidr tree honey from Saudi Arabia, manuka flower honey from New Zealand, and a Mexican honey with the nearly onomatopoetic name of dzidzilche.Paperback. Color photographs throughout.
