Serving Suggestion: Issue 03is a contemporary food journal edited by Januar Rianto, Almer Mikhail and Shaquille Norman.
In preparing certain dishes, ‘time’ is the single most important ingredient. Even in the earliest human civilisations, we learned to harness time—to ferment, to age, and to let natural processes run their course.
In this issue’s Sharing Table, Serving Suggestion speaks with cultural researcher Hilmar Farid on Indonesia’s cultural identity, gastronomy, and publishing. Elsewhere, Alex Todaro and Nicole Vindel present “Take-away: Degustations on Grief”, a visual essay tracing six stages of grief through suspenseful, food-driven scenes. Justin Noah Chua and Moira Tirtha reflect on taste, cultural domination, politics, and identity, while Foodways delves into the history of tea in Indonesia and its present-day landscape.
Serving Suggestion is a magazine reading into culture through food—serving up stories and other pieces on our connection with what we consume through multifarious perspectives.
