Edible Columbus--watch for it



I saw a prototype of a new magazine today--"Edible Columbus." "Is that a new magazine?" I asked. "Yes, but it isn't out yet; I'm the publisher." I thought I'd swoon. I'm a first issue collector and here I was about to see a birthing! [No website yet, try this for Edible Brooklyn.]

So we chatted a bit--she's a former New York chef who discovered a "series" of Edible. . [insert name of city or region] magazines and she bought the rights for Columbus. She explained the concept--it will focus on locally grown, sustainable sources with seasonable eatables, great traditions, recipes, related items like gadgets and ingredients, day trips, and events. Some of these events will be held in her mother's newly opened tea room which has room for classes! Right here in Upper Arlington. Swoon twice--a new place to go for coffee or lunch. This will start as a "free-circ" and I suggested she get it in the local public libraries as part of the serial collection to be sure it gets cataloged.

From Linked in: "Tricia Wheeler was the founder of Edible Columbus, a Magazine dedicated to the way lives are touched by fresh, locally grown foods, encompassing everything from the farmer’s field to the dining table and the journeys in between. The magazine was acquired in 2018.

Tricia is the founder and owner of The Seasoned Farmhouse. A recreational cooking school and event space dedicated to cultivating cooks and gardeners. It offers 175 new classes each year, and its one-of-a-kind 30-week French cooking series has graduated over 200 “home chefs”. The school uses the changing seasons as a canvas to inspire classes that teach fundamental techniques and explore other cultures through food. The on-site gardens grow ingredients to be picked and used within classes and as a learning space to demonstrate gardening skills.

Tricia is co-owner of Flowers and Bread, where she and her business partner share their passions for baking artisan bread and arranging seasonal flowers."

According to a 2022 article, Edible Columbus is for sale. The last printed issue was May 2022, but it still has a website.
