195 x 240 mm, 128 pages Washington DC, US & London, UK Triannual First published 2017 Founder and editor-in-chief: Emelyn Rude Designer: Britt Nichols ‘The Food History Magazine’ Take a trip down the annals of gastronomic history with Eaten. Discover old recipes and explore centuries of cooking, eating, and the people involved in a series of essays and interviews, paired with a healthy serving of vintage illustrations. Al fresco dining is usually a gamble here in the UK, where the weather can turn on a dime; but, if there’s one silver lining to the successive heatwaves currently sending Europe into a frenzy, it’s the newfound abundance of opportunities to eat outdoors. The team at Eaten certainly seem to think so, as they’ve chosen to dedicate their whole Summer 2026 issue to the joy of ‘Picnics’. Inside, discover how the tradition—popularised among French aristocracy in the 17th century, but with origins dating back to the Middle Ages—has long been associated with leisure, community and freedom. Features include a 12-page essay on ‘The Pan-European Picnic’, a peaceful protest held on 19 August 1989 at the Austro-Hungarian border that paved the way for the subsequent ‘Westward exodus’ and fall of the Iron Curtain; a deep dive into the FDR administration’s development of roadside public rest areas in Upstate New York; and, a glimpse into the evolution of China’s annual Qingming Festival. On the Journal:At Work With Emelyn Rude, ‘Eaten and my academic research do somewhat feed off each other in that ideas I’ll encounter while reading for one will inform the other but I try to keep the two as separate as I can. I love food history as a whole but I also like experiencing it in as many different ways as I can.’ READ MORE eatenmagazine.com
