Saucy is one of ten indie food mags featured in this Paper mag piece.
We’re in really great company. Exciting.
Today in My Life Is Amazing.
We are delighted to be part of the upcoming Food Book Fair May 2013 in Brooklyn. Tickets go on sale end of March at Food Book Fair.com
Join what is an awfully interesting and fun event (see the header photo of the guy an inch from his plate?) It’s like that.
Yeah, we are. See you there.
Presenting the new Saucy online shop - it’s easier to order and, um, prettier.
There is a special discount code for all of you: enter TUMBLRYO
Do drop a message with thoughts, the new shop is partly due to your angst with the old online shop’s checkout process.
Okay, back to our irregular, unscheduled Tumbling…
Because I love you.
The new issue of Saucy is here.
“Black Valentine” ships right before the 14th and takes as its focus the darkness within romance. As M.F.K. Fisher wrote, “Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.” This is a very personal issue on our relationship with each other and food. Order a copy here and use the code TWOPLEASE for a discount on multiple copies.
Also, this is the launch of Saucy subscriptions. Four issues a year and little bits in between. Subscribe here.
The remainder of the 2013 issues are: “Movement” (summer), “Modification” (fall), and “Gloss” (winter).
Thank you for your continued support of Saucy - appreciate your kind words and notes to say how the holiday issue was a favorite gift.
Extremely excited to show you the new issue.
Each issue has a different format, and it plays with your expectations in unusual ways.

Exciting to be included in this group of new issues.
Woo woo.
Saucy Magazine: Latke and sour cream recipes + Issue 4 update
It is the time of year for bizarre holiday parties and weirdly ambitious food, like this moment a few years ago when I thought it looked neat to spoon cooked eggs back into an eggshell and top that with glowing salmon roe - in case anyone missed the egg motif. While I stopped in May of that year with the egg/shell thing, I continue to make crispy latkes (underneath the eggs in the photo) throughout the year.
To make crispy latkes, coarsely grate 2 peeled Russet potatoes into a bowl, add 1 Tablespoon of a flour, an egg, a pinch of salt. Drain off potato water (drink vodka instead). Add small amounts to pan with oil heated on medium heat for a few minutes, then fry on each side for about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Season. Red salt looks especially festive on these.
To make sour cream (and really, you feel accomplished making your own. Dairy is not the boss of you, unless it is, and then just make the recipe for applesauce below.): Leave a cup of quality heavy cream out on the counter to bring to room temperature. Add 2 tablespoons of unflavored yogurt with live cultures in it. Let sit out in a warm place for 15-18 hours, then put in refrigerator for at least a few hours to chill.
To make apple sauce: choose 4 tempting apples and keep the skin on while coring and chopping. Add to a pan with 1 cup cider or water and cook over medium until the apples break down ~15 minutes. To finish, add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, a squeeze of lemon. Taste and finish seasoning.
To watch me make latkes incorrectly (Jewish grandmothers online found an earlier tagged post and schooled me in private emails), there is this 2008 episode below from my old online web series that started in 2006:

Magazine news!
Issue 4 will be shipping out to Kickstarter backers on December 27, 2012.
There will be some extra copies in a limited-edition version available in the Saucy store.
Things that are exciting: In finalizing the issue, I chose a different interior paper stock to make the images jump forward more. Also, the cover is special. You’ll know why when you see it.
Sneak peek of a spread from Issue 4:
Issue 4 is being printed as I write this, and a few limited-edition copies are up for pre-order in the shop and will ship out after all the Kickstarter backers receive theirs.
Holidays are difficult, and recent tragic events harder still to bear, so I am focusing on what I can do: finish fulfilling orders for the magazine, continue coverage in the newsroom I work in, and seeing people I love to celebrate life.
Last night I made a buttermilk cake and poured a citrus simple syrup over the top as the Kickstarter ended, lighting candles for all the extraordinary backers of Saucy Magazine.
This weekend is final edits on issue 4 that goes to the printer for proofing next week - made a big leap in number of pages this time and trying out some new ideas for page ordering.
It’s all sparkly and food techniques for buoyancy over here at Saucy HQ; thank you again for supporting this issue and the effort. Amazing way to finish 2012.
Supremely happy to be able to make and give something I love to people who asked to receive it. This month will fly -
WALL - Magazine
I’m back to reality after a long, fun, and exhausting vacation. I discovered WALL, an amazing female producer from the UK, just before I left on vacation over a week ago, and her minimal spacious dream pop has been a quiet reprieve for me in the midst of family and crazy nieces and nephews running around. Particularly this track, Magazine. The music is so simple that it becomes intensely intimate. And I think I may be obsessed.
So glad to be seeing more and more talented female producers and artists! Adding WALL to the likes of recent favorites like Empress Of. Listen to a couple more singles as well as two amazing covers by WALL here.
Reblogging for the track and especially for the name of this track.
It’s been a really extraordinary 19 days - the Saucy magazine Kickstarter ends tonight.
In the weekend ahead, the hours will collapse on each other, final edit decisions will be made, and I will fly to Maine for 17 hours for the last photo shoot.
On Monday, the issue goes to the printer and we begin the proof cycle. I cannot imagine a better way to end the year.
The Saucy mag Kickstarter is 196% funded
This has been one of the more amazing afternoons of my life.
I was taking photos of shishito peppers and thinking about whether we ‘blister’ other foods when a friend texted me “TOP OF KICKSTARTER NEWSLETTER” and then backer notifications started blowing up my email and then, well, I started dancing around the kitchen.
The project is now 196% funded, which is astounding, and there are all these new people that I am now connected to, many of whom make really interesting things and think about food in fascinating ways.
This is the gif I made because I tried to make a video and kept tearing up. Wow, what a day.
And we are live on Kickstarter to fund Issue 4: The Unbearable Lightness of Eating.
Thanks in advance for your support of Saucy magazine and independent food magazines.
