Gail's has launched Companion, a biannual magazine that deepens the exploration of baking beyond recipes to include themes of food culture, history, and ethics. The inaugural issue focuses on Bread, examining its intricate networks that influence consumption and cultivation. Companion features a variety of content, including essays on the evolution of bread and its significance in society. Roy Levy, Gail's creative director, believes that baking and publishing both reflect broader cultural narratives, reinforcing the notion that food involves storytelling and community connection.
For Gail's creative director Roy Levy, this expansion was inevitable. "We break bread for a living, but in many ways, our bread shapes us," Roy says.
The first issue, for example, is anchored by the theme Bread and unpicks the vast networks (natural, economic, and cultural) that determine how we interact with, grow and consume this fundamental part of so many cultures.
