Penn Appetit Issue 4 - Today!

I am very pleased to announce the launch of our newest issue of Penn Appetit, the student-run food magazine at UPenn that is the basis for this blog. Here's the cover:



Some highlights from the new issue include an article about Jordanian cuisine (complete with a recipe) by Audrey Farber; an interview with the owner of Dock Street Brewery by Jen Green; a review of Supper by Jamie Png; and a narrative about growing up with a cookbook author mother by Lucy Medrich (daughter of famed chocolate expert Alice Medrich). This is just a sampling of the articles in the mag, so be sure to check out the whole thing. If you're on Penn's campus, you can pick up your copy on Locust Walk, at the Kelly Writers House, or in the new magazine racks around campus. If you're not at Penn, you can look at/read the mag online (or we can mail you a copy by special request).

We'd love to hear what you think about Issue 4 - feel free to comment on this post or email me at pennappetit@gmail.com.

To celebrate the launch of this issue, we are hosting a launch party, which will feature a discussion panel with the owners of Dock Street Brewery, Cream&Sugar, Rx, and City Food Tours. The panel will be followed by a free tasting. This event will be in the Rooftop Lounge of Harrison College House (39th and Locust) at 7:30PM tonight, and is free, of course!

Just a quick shoutout - thank you to all FORTY-SEVEN staff members who contributed to this issue, plus all of our bloggers who keep up our online readership. This magazine definitely definitely definitely could not exist without you. And I'd also like to thank our magazine and blog readers, both at Penn and around the world. We hope you enjoy the Spring 2009 issue!

-Emma, Editor-in-Chief
