food1852

Food52, which recently relaunched as Food1852, is everything a modern food publication should be — online, crowdsourced, full of ideas about canning, chicken coops, churning butter, preparing possum for dinner, and perfecting a “61-day dry-aged, sous-vide, bone-in chipmunk steak.” Are you wondering, “Should I dilute the laudanum before rubbing it on the gums of my caterwauling baby?” Food1852 has got you covered:

Help Grist raise $25,000 by September 30 to further advance our climate reporting

We see the writing on the wall — you want your pickled eggs, your heritage millet, your rusty chicken coops, maybe a prairie linen or two. You like artisanal? We’ll show you artisanal. How many of you can say you milk your own cows to butter your morning toast?
