blaise's book feast

With the profusion of boutique magazines lately, there is a lot of content to comb through.  My favorites remain a couple of the originals, Lucky Peach and Kinfolk.  Both have summer issues out right now, which are perfect to read on the back porch in the late summer sunsets.  This issue of Lucky Peach is a pirate’s chest of ocean themed food.  There is a touching essay by Anthony Bourdain, who makes regular appearances in the magazine, along with editor David Chang.  The Kinfolk summer issue is similarly dedicated to the sea, seaside gatherings and great food.  So sit down in the fading rays, imagine your toes in the foaming ocean, and get inspired to make yourself a lobster roll.
