LETTER FROM STEVE

Spring is the season of renewal. It’s that time of year when the sun shines longer each day, the grass grows just a little bit greener, and the earth begins to soften in the rain, shooting up new life.

As we embrace the growth we see outside, we also look to how we’ve grown inside—as a magazine, and as a team. When we launched Who’s Hungry?™ one year ago, we had a few exceptional staff members and a simple goal of bridging the worlds of food and photography. Since then, the magazine has evolved in ways we never could have predicted. Not only is it a deeply satisfying creative project, but it’s also been an opportunity to connect with and learn from some of the most interesting and knowledgeable professionals throughout the culinary world.

Each story in this magazine has taken us on a new adventure. We’ve discovered innovative uses for maple syrup at Burton’s Maplewood Farms; enjoyed holiday cookies from some of the nation’s top bakers; sat down with our favorite chefs; explored the secrets behind great food styling; ventured out on a Virginia fox hunt; and been pulled into the personal stories of great writers. I want to thank everyone involved, past and present, who have helped make the magazine what it is today.

With one incredible year behind us, we look forward to embracing the next and all the growth that is yet to come. I hope you’ll grow right along with us and continue to ask “Who’s Hungry?”™
