London larder: On the eighth day of Christmas fare

On the eighth day of Christmas fare, we READ from our favourite food magazines. At London Food Essentials, we are regular readers of:

• Cereal: a quarterly magazine dedicated to the pursuit of food and travel. Exquisite photography, production and writing by this Bristol-based editorial team. 
  
• Foodie Bugle: a print and online magazine celebrating the beauty of seasonal life from inspirational editor Silvana de Soissons.      
  
• The Gourmand: A literary journal distinguished by its thought-provoking literary and photographic essays on subjects as diverse as American conceptual artist John Baldessari, the library of Mark Hix, and the New York Manhattan.
  
• Fork: a bi-monthly tablet magazine covering independent producers, chefs and artisans as well as news and trends of the food world. 

If you are looking for that perfect Christmas gift, we would recommend a subscription to one, if not all, of these.
