Ambrosia Magazine (set of 3)
Through interviews, photo essays, and stories from its great chefs, Ambrosia eats its way through a region, from roadside stands to Michelin-starred restaurants, and pinpoints what sets a region’s cuisine apart.
Volume 3: Brooklyn
Brooklyn, an incredibly diverse borough of New York City, is many things to many people. It’s where the Ebbets Field and stickball-loving old New York meets young creative types obsessed with artisanship, where old school Jewish deli owners and Latin American vendors meet chefs armed with tweezers in graffitied warehouses. In this issue, the borough’s great chefs—street vendors and guardians of hallowed centuries-old institutions, young guns and Roberta’s disciples—tell us, through their own words and recipes, about one of the most influential and complex regions in the world, and what it’s like to cook and eat there in 2016.
Volume 4: Mexico City
Mexico City is one of the largest and most populous cities in the world. It’s where the people and traditions from geographically and gastronomically different regions of Mexico collide, where ways of life in the Yucatecan jungle meet those from Baja’s beaches. It’s also where dozens of chefs are reimagining the country’s rich food traditions and, in the process, making Mexico City one of the most exciting places to dine right now. In this issue, the Mexican capital’s great chefs—street vendors and guardians of hallowed institutions, young guns and veterans—tell us, through their own words and recipes, about the rise of modern dining in the city, and where it’s all going next.
Volume 5: San Francisco Bay Area
Volume 5 takes us to the San Francisco Bay Area, the 49-square-mile dining capital of the west coast known on the surface for gold rushes, Silicon Valley, cable cars, and coastal fog. This issue unearths the history of the region’s eating culture, from the origins of the fortune cookie to the impeccably manicured gardens of its most eccentric chefs and the reason slices of sourdough bread sell for $8 a pop. Featuring recipes and stories from Joshua Skenes, Christopher Kostow, Brandon Jew, Pim Techamuanvivit, and many other chefs, vendors, and more, this issue will transport readers to the Bay Area—home to the fastest-growing fine-dining scene in the country on one end, as well as a ballooning community of immigrant-owned restaurants on the other—where the diversity of its residents and abundant local produce makes it one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting places to eat right now.
