National Geographic Traveller Food hits newsstands for the first time

National Geographic Traveller Food is to be sold as a standalone magazine for the first time, as part of a move to broaden its readership.

Since its launch in early 2018, the award-winning quarterly title has been available as part of a bundle, along with sister magazine National Geographic Traveller. However, going forward, Food will be available on newsstands in its own right — starting with the new summer issue, which hits the shops today.

Glen Mutel, editor of Food, said: “While Food and National Geographic Traveller have proved a perfect fit for each other in the past, we felt it was time we branched out and showed the magazine-buying public what we’re all about. It’s going to be great to see our future titles, with their distinct, impactful covers, displayed on newsstands across the country.

“Over the past two years we’ve successfully carved out a niche as the magazine for all those who see the worlds of food and travel as ultimately inseparable. The magazine aims to show food-lovers where to go and what to do, exploring the world through its numerous culinary cultures, while also emphasising the global nature of the dishes we love to cook at home. Hopefully, people will find our combination of engaging storytelling and mouth-watering photography hard to resist.â€

To mark the magazine’s debut on newsstand, and its introduction to new readers, a digital version of the previous issue of Food will be given away via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

NEW ISSUE

The new issue of Food celebrates the joys of summer, with help from some of the best chefs, cookbook writers and restaurateurs around, who share the dishes, ingredients and drinks that always magically transport them to places in the sun. Elsewhere, the issue explores the highly distinctive version of Italian food enjoyed in Buenos Aires, while also offering a snapshot of a family meal in the Alpine resort of Courmayeur. All this, plus the culinary highlights of Istanbul, Pembrokeshire and Dublin.

In addition, expect the usual mix of thought-provoking features and easy-to-follow recipes from world-renowned contributors.
