Magazine F Issue 13 (Clam) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. Clams refer to mollusks with complex anatomical structures, spanning a range of species such as scallops, razor clams, butter clams, blood cockles, Asian hardshell clams, and mussels. Clams are like crops—two things that became both sustenance and treasures to humans since before agrarian societies. Known as environmental cleaners that remove nitrogen from ocean waters and lower carbon dioxide levels in the air, clams are emerging as a sustainable food for the future. The unrivaled aroma and texture of these mollusks inspired myriad clam dishes across the globe, with the wide flavor nuances similar to the terroir on wines.
Magazine F is a food documentary magazine co-created by Magazine B and Baemin, which introduces one particular ingredient that has had a significant impact on people’s table. Baemin has become a critical mover and shaker in South Korean contemporary food culture, and B provides a balanced view on brands through multi-layered stories. This collaboration brings together these two areas of expertise in F, which is hoped to become a record of essential ingredients and food culture of our time. Magazine B’s sister publication, Magazine F enriches your experience with everyday ingredients. Each issue explores how an ingredient is grown, prepared, and shared in different cultures around the world, through in-depth interviews, inspiring stories, and beautiful photos.
