Today we launched our brand new food blog — http://www.jfpfood.com — and published our first-ever (!) food issue, dedicated to both cooking and dining (and a bit of drinking). It’s a huge 52-page issue; hats off to ShaWanda for editing and assigning it; Kristin for great design; Ronni and Lacey for busting their butts editing it; and all the freelancers for such great work!

Here’s the flip book of the food issue. Enjoy.

I think this a good development and hope it will be broadly recognized. I am excited what will come in future.
