Life & Thyme Magazine Issue 1 is available on loremnotipsum.com and focuses on the unsung heroes of the culinary industry—whether it’s a farmer on the footsteps of Mount Shasta in California, an apprentice working day in and day out of the kitchens of Copenhagen, a Vietnamese shrimper off of the coast of New Orleans, or even an unpopular cut of meat to be cooked delicately and beautifully into a dish to be devoured. Each story is carefully crafted into an essay, interview, recipe, or photo essay that documents hardworking people around the globe striving for a better food world.
