Table #8

In Volume 08 we celebrate stories of fortitude and resilience. The pages are filled of the gentle magic people have woven into the everyday, even in the hardest of circumstances. We see and honour their strength in these stories, and celebrate the bright hope they carry. May some of it find you through each page.

Featured in this issue, writer Ben Drinkwater delves into the world of renowned food writer M.F.K. Fisher. We also sit down with Sami Tamimi and hear about his childhood growing up in West Jerusalem and how food keeps him rooted in his culture.

Editors Ola travels further afield to Mykonos, a magical respite from the hustle and bustle of the everyday. Alissa Timoshkina reflects beautifully on her memories about growing up in Omsk, Russia and the conflicting feelings that accompany them.
