Remedy Quarterly & Tarte aux Noix
I came across Remedy Quarterly on Design Sponge last summer.
Remedy is an independent ad-free food magazine run by the lovely Kelly Carámbula of eatmakeread. It's filled with stories, memories, recipes and little interviews. It's a great read and has cheered up many a miserable tube ride. I've made several of the recipes - these Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies were adapted from there.
I knew immediately that I wanted to contribute a story or two of my own. Submissions for this issue, Adventure, were open at the time. So I wrote in with a story idea based on my memories of skiing as a little girl (I spent 10 months on skis before I was 5) and the sweet treats we ate up the mountain - including Chez Simon's Apple Tart.
The recipe I wrote for the piece is for Tarte aux Noix - little pastry cases filled with toasted walnuts drenched in soft caramel. They're a delicious local speciality (they actually inspired the Salted Caramel and Walnut Coffee Bread too - note that the bakery have quite a different filling-to-pastry ratio to me!).
So I highly recommend you head over to their shop and purchase this issue - it's well worth the $7.50 - or a subscription or two. They're currently in between submission periods but keep an eye out for the next one!
PS. I'm writing this because I love Remedy (and because I want to squee with you about seeing my name in print...) not because I've been asked to/am being paid etc.

cakeboule - I really recommend it, hope you like it too.
Thanks for taking me on a bit of an adventure to find this magazine! I picked up a copy from Drawn and Quarterly whilst on holiday in Montreal. It turns out I had forgotten what a lovely little corner of the city its in and the bookshop itself contains a wonderful chosen selection of books. I'd highly recommend visiting if you ever get the chance.
ReplyDeleteNow all I need to do is find my way to their singular London stockist..
Emma,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to thank you for bringing Remedy to my attention. I stumbled upon it in your website and then tracked down a copy of the second issue (on cravings) via Remedy's website and what a wonderful publication it is. I thoroughl enjoyed each and every article, which stirred lots of memories of my own cravings and I am looking forward to reading the other issues. Do you know any UK stores that stock Remedy Quarterly or do you also just order them online?
Thanks
Sophia
Alex - Glad you liked it! Sounds like a lovely shop.
ReplyDeleteSophia - I've always bought it online but the commenter above seems to think there's a stockist in London. I imagine it says on the site. Anyway, lovely to hear that you liked it!
