SpeakerCone is relaunching with a wider lens on arts, culture, and entertainment, and the Taste section is where food joins the conversation.
Food belongs here because what we cook, where we eat, and what we grow are all part of the culture we live in. Taste covers that ground in three parts: Cooking, Dining, and Gardening, with an emphasis on edible gardening, the kind that ends up on the plate.
In Cooking, expect coverage of recipes and technique, cookbooks, kitchen trends, and the food media that shapes how people learn to cook. Dining will follow restaurant openings and closings, chef profiles, and the business forces behind how and where people eat out. Gardening will focus on growing food, from backyard beds and container herbs to community plots and small market farms.
As with every SpeakerCone section, the reporting looks at both sides of the industry. On one side are the major restaurant groups, food brands, and publishers with the reach to set trends. On the other are independent chefs, neighborhood restaurants, home cooks, and small growers, who often drive the ideas that larger players adopt later.
Taste will also carry curated headlines from across the food world, so you can follow the news in one place and find the original reporting. Whether you cook, dine out, or grow your own, there will be something here for you. Check back soon as Taste fills out.
