I am personally lenient towards the food genre of magazines due to the variety of information that is provided within them. I believe choosing this as my brief would not only be challenging but also educational to me personally. I enjoy creating anything and everything that includes meals, but I come from a Caribbean background where the women in my family particular pride themselves on their ability to cook and feed their children. Therefore, I believe this will provide me with the opportunity to academically research the lifestyle of food and nutrition to further my kitchen skills.
Examples
I started looking for main food magazines to research. There is a Bon Appetit which claims to “explore every aspect of food culture from a global perspective. We are the source for culinary shows you want to binge, weeknight dishes that make feeding families easier, recipes that entertain, and, of course, the ambitious storytelling about the ways food shapes our lives, our communities, and our conversations."
The Food and Wine magazine describes themselves to show “With rigorously tested recipes and the most trusted restaurant, drinks, culinary travel, and home coverage, the brand inspires and empowers people to discover, create, and devour the best in food and drink—every day and everywhere.”
A continuity within the magazines is the major factors in the food genre would be the recipe’s that they provide so I am thinking about making a recipe to be my feature article
There is also research in different diets shown in these magazines, so I do want to include information about that.
I began looking for various diets along with the specific restrictions each one had and their goal.
Different diet examples:
Mediterranean- The focus is to eat plant-based foods and healthy fats, the main source of fat being olive oil and consuming mostly fruits and vegetables. The goal of the diet is to lower the risks of cardiovascular diseases.
Vegan- includes only plant-based foods, fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds. The goal could be to stay away from meat to not harm animals or protect the environment.
Vegetarians (there are sub-versions of the diet)- focus on mainly plants for food, therefore there are multiple variations of the nutritional needs that can be obtained from the diet
Pescatarian- Plant based with the inclusion of seafood and some dairy products used to boost omega-3 fatty acids to benefit heart, brain, and eye health
Keto- eating high-fat and low-carbohydrate foods such as dairy, low-carb vegetables, plant-based foods like nuts, seeds and avocados, oils and fats. The ultimate goal is to reach a state of ketosis which is a metabolic state that is caused by raised levels of ketone that occurs when your body burns fat for energy instead of glucose.
I also realized that the articles contain recommendations for cooking or restaurants. Overall, for my brief I want to include information about the recipes of dishes, the impact those dishes have, different diets and health benefits, as well as recommendations of restaurants and shows.
