I’m honored to have my short-short story “Sugar” included in the winter 2013 issue of Gastronomica, the “brainiest” of food magazines, also called “the New Yorker of food magazines”. The fairy tale-ish story is set in Pike Place Market and begins thus:
“He couldn’t stomach currants in his salad. She couldn’t stomach his not stomaching her currants.”
You can subscribe to the magazine here; if you have access to JSTOR, you can read individual articles here; you can also read my two-page story right over here:

Hi Anca,
I saw your message on the Tin House email. I hate answering to all those people so am answering here.
Anyway, I loved the story. So good and FUN to read. Makes me want to go to Seattle and eat.
Good luck with more.

Thank you so much, Robin! So glad you enjoyed the story and reached out over here.
Best wishes & keep in touch,
Anca
Good stuff, Anca. So exotic to taste lardons, noisettes and seagulls in almost the same bite 😉
Keep baking those tasty bits, including full course meals…
Andy
Aw, thanks, Andy! You just gave me a strange idea for a full course meal centered on seagulls…

Hi Anca, I saw your story mentioned in Erika Dreifus’s newsletter and followed the link over here to read it. So glad I did–beautiful story. I love all the smells and textures. Hope you are doing well!
