Terrific Winter issue! I'm going to check out The Larder. I found your reflections on home cooking prompting conversation lovely. However, cooking since my mom passed away has been about dealing with loss and making meals for my husband - I haven't had much appetite myself but find the smells and touch of preparing food for him very comforting. We live in my childhood home so I use a lot of her and my step dad's pans and their old stove. One thing I found odd in your issue was the Apples to Zucchini gift - when I clicked onto their site, there was a photo of children taking a cooking class in masks. This seems very wrong to me. Children learning about nurturing themselves and feeding others with half their face covered is the opposite of healthy. Honestly I find the damage done to children in 2021 by masking them far worse than carbon emissions.

The new issue looks beautiful. Plus: coq au vin, one of my faves.
