Why This Veteran Food Editor Is Breaking Into Indie Publishing

There’s nothing casual about making a magazine. I know this because up until a few years ago, I was eating, sleeping, and breathing print media as the editor of not one but two publications, Culture Cheese Magazine (my then-full-time job) and GRLSQUASH, my now-defunct self-funded indie mag side project. Between sticking to strict printer deadlines, managing a seemingly endless sea of freelancers, proofing until you want to cry (and inevitably missing at least a handful of typos), and somehow financing the whole endeavor—selling ads? Crowd-funding? Asking for donations?—print can feel, well, grueling. But it’s also so damn rewarding. Once you’ve fallen in love with print it’s tough to fall out of love, which is probably why Dana Cowin is back in the publishing game, this time bolder (and broader) than ever. After a decades-long career as editor-in-chief of Food & Wine that ended in 2015, Cowin has turned to indie publishing. Speaking Broadly encapsulates her eponymous Heritage Radio Network show within its colorful, inspiring pages featuring the likes of Black Food Folks co-founder Colleen Vincent, writer and cookbook author Reem Kassis, chef Nini Nguyen, and more of the food and beverage world’s finest.

Roasted Summer Squash (With a Panko Breading)

Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping. I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too). BREADING  The light breading mixture of Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings like lemon pepper, paprika, and salt is what pulls this recipe altogether! OTHER VEGGIES Why not switch up the recipe and add some of your other favorite veggies. Ensure you use ones that have a similar cook time, we love asparagus spears and bel

Beef Bourguignon (Beef Stew with Wine)

Image
This Beef Bourguignon is a take on a classic French stew with a deep rich flavor from red wine. Tender beef, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, and bacon are simmered in a savory broth. Don’t be afraid to try this recipe, it’s one that Julia Child was well known for and while it does need some time, it’s actually not difficult to make. What is Beef Bourguignon? Beef Bourguignon (pronounced “bef bur-gee-nyon,”) is a beef stew recipe . The difference between this recipe and a regular stew is the amount of wine added to the broth giving it a deep flavor. Carrots, onions, mushrooms, and garlic round out this one-pot meal. The whole thing bakes in the oven until tender. Ingredients This recipe is a simplified version of Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon with the steps somewhat simplified (and ingredients slightly adapted). BEEF When choosing meat for stew , I prefer chuck as it comes out so nice and tender but stewing meat works well too. VEGGIES Any root vegetable will work in this re
