Eat@20
Eat is 20 this year. We've done a lot in that time and worked with some amazing people. To celebrate surviving this long, and to sign-off a very strange year, we decided to dig back into the archives and share a collection of images from Eat magazine – yes, we used to publish a food magazine and you can read more about it here. So, thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey and helped us along the way. Enjoy!
Where it all started: Eat Issue 00 – Emiko and the crash test dummy, shot by Kazuyoshi Shimomura.
We took our 'dummy issue' round to potential advertisers to get them excited about a 'new type of food magazine' – what must they have thought?

Eat Issue 01: Pomegranate
“The purple butterflies fluttered about with gold dust on their wings, visiting each flower in turn; the little lizards crept out of the crevices of the wall, and lay basking in the white glare; and the pomegranates split and cracked with the heat, and showed their bleeding red hearts.” Oscar Wilde, The Birthday of the Infanta.
