About Remedy Quarterly
Quarterly is a magazine of food stories and the recipes that go with them. We love that food is a common language and drew inspiration from community cookbooks. While some of the recipes in Remedy are delicious, we’ve also got some that make better memories than meals.

a little q & a with contributor stacey slate
Today we bring you Stacey Slate in our second contributor profile. She is an accomplished food writer (Bitten, Daily Beast, Civil Eats), and we are super excited to have her include her work in both the first and upcoming second issue of Remedy! We asked Stacey a few questions, and here is what she told us:
What is your favorite meal?
My favorite meal is traditional: I enjoy a cooked chicken that has just been roasted with potato spears and root vegetables. I also always have ketchup on hand to complement. And once that meal is over, I eat the entire meal again—cold—as leftovers the next day. But as for a favorite food that I could crave at any time: a bottomless bowl of fresh raspberries and blueberries.
What excites you most about Remedy Quarterly?
Remedy Quarterly is a magazine about our interaction with food: how it shapes us and comes into our memory. Though that idea speaks of food’s universal influence, this collection of stories is varied and it invites a reader to be curious about other people’s relationship to food.
What do you do when you are not eating and writing?
I spend much of my day thinking about food, writing about food and at certain times, eating food. But I also get energy from frequent walks around my neighborhood in New York City. I like to be reminded of how active people are around me.
Why did you choose to share this particular story, “An Occasion for Cake,” with us?
I never think up a story’s title and then write a story. But this time I thought of a curious phrase in my family’s food history—the “funeral cake”—and decided to build a story around that title while working with real-life memory.
Thanks for sharing Stacey!
