Peddler Issue No. 7: Home

In our long awaited Issue 7 of Peddler, we are exploring notions of home, and all the complexities that are associated with this concept. This issue explores home as more than a physical shelter, but home as a feeling, conjuring a sense of belonging, and sometimes the lack thereof. We explore all of this with recipes and stories from Sharon Brenner, Candice Chung, Emiko Davies, Jess Hernandez, Doris Hö-Kane, Xinyue Pan, Audrey Payne, Andrea Pons, Patricia Tanumihardja, Kris Warman, Alyse Whitney, Keira Wright-Ruiz, and Arda Yildirim. Plus recipes for cheesy harissa scones, gamjajeon, tofu and mushroom noodles, medivnyk, vegetarian empanadas and more.

About: Peddler documents the in-between moments of food – from the ingredients, to the making, the eating, the sharing, and all the small moments in-between. We launched in 2017 as a twice-yearly multicultural recipe-driven food magazine, and we now tell audio stories through our podcast The House Specials, produce content for like-minded brands, and oversee custom publishing projects.

Meal times are a mirror to our past, a symbol of our present and a gateway to our future. Behind every dish on our daily table, there are inherited histories, memories, ceremonies, rituals, cultures and traditions that are completely personal – and yet somehow universal. Peddler explores these multi-cultures of food, venturing near and far, and into the homes and kitchens of everyday cooks for their most personal rendition of family recipes and stories.

Peddler is created by Hetty McKinnon, author of bestselling cookbooks Community, Neighborhood, Family and the owner of Arthur Street Kitchen.
