With today’s news about Newsweek going digital, we bring you a reminder of Gourmet magazine’s first issue.
The first issue of Gourmet magazine was January 1941. It was also Gourmet’s first holiday issue.
Pearl V. Metzelthin was the magazine’s first editor. Here’s a look at her editor’s letter (courtesy Serious Eats).
Wine, lovely wine.
Our Gourmet Live issue this week (In Vino Veritas) is chalk full of everything you need to know about wine.

Spicy Summer Rolls With Peanut Sauce
We like to think of the summer roll as an elegant example of fast food: a salad packed into an edible container—in this case, paper-thin rice sheets—which results in something as beautiful to behold as it is practical to eat by hand. Better yet, the summer roll is a big win for the health-conscious because the roll is almost fat-free, and the sauce, while sporting a little peanut butter, is not highly caloric. One dipped bite yields an explosion of flavors and textures that’s guaranteed to excite any palate.

Our new issue of Gourmet Live is live.
It includes this touching piece by Michael Y. Park who visited his mother in New Jersey to learn the “only way to make Korea’s spicy dish.”
Sometimes before I introduce my friends to my Korean mother, I like to explain that she’s like a walking, talking bowl of kimchi: fiery, overbearing, and takes some getting used to, but she’ll stick with you a long, long time.
There’s another thing kimchi and my mother have in common: I can’t recall life without them. OK, chocolate is my first food memory, but kimchi came next. And it was part of almost every family dinner until I left our suburban New Jersey home at 18. Thanksgiving? Kimchi was next to the cranberry sauce. Christmas? Kimchi goes great with ham. And what do kids love better for an impromptu weekend lunch than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Well, this kid loved PBJ&K.
