The Slow Press Vol. 6: BEST BEFORE
What do reading magazines and eating Sunshine bread have in common? 🍞
It’s all about the SPREADS! 🧈 So here’s a sneak peek into some of the beautiful spreads laid out in The Slow Press Vol. 6: BEST BEFORE, the latest issue of our annual print-only magazine. This one features 9 rich food stories centered around time and change, written, designed, illustrated, and photographed by The Slow Press team and our amazingly talented contributors over the course of 2023.
Time waits for no fruit, grain, or bread—it isn’t always easy to divine an expiration date without the aid of supermarket tags. And yet, when it comes to what we eat, waiting can be either a fruitful endeavour (producing delicious sake) or an unwise choice (inviting mold onto your bread).
Crack open your copy of Vol. 6 and mediate on these tensions. Can you preserve familial relationships with salt? Why have changes in food quality for migrant workers been frustratingly slow? Have you seen any secret rice societies around lately? Many more stories (and questions to ponder) await.
