I am very happy to let you know about a new publication from fabulousplaces.co.uk…the etc. guide will be a magazine style guide reflecting everything the website offers and some extra fabulous bits too! The first issue will focus on Derbyshire and will be something you can proudly keep on your coffee table or take out and about with you throughout the year.
I am thrilled to be working on the magazine with a good friend, Claire Sutton. Claire is a fab home cook, a talented photographer and shares many of the interests I have too, so the collaboration was an easy decision. Claire runs a blog called Things We Make and some of Claire’s recipes have featured on the fabulousplaces.co.uk blog over the last 12 months.
We’re very excited about the publication…if you love the places, makers and services featured on fabulousplaces.co.uk, great food and Derbyshire then I’m sure you’ll love flicking through the magazine. We’ve had such fun over the last 8 months…photo shoots, baking, eating, visiting talented makers and much more…our aim is for the magazine to have a real feel good appearance and reflect our passions for food, Derbyshire, great photography, local makers and artisans.
You can follow the etc guide on twitter where we’ll keep you up to date with the latest news and also let you know when it’s available. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch…we would love to hear your thoughts!
