What Liberty Ate: Issue Two
Prepare to feast your eyes! Last year I announced the launch of What Liberty Ate, a gorgeous digital magazine based in Romania founded by talented blogger and foodie Gabriela Iancu. Today she has released issue two and I simply had to pop in on a Sunday to bring this inspiring issue to you because I know you’ll enjoy it. Gabriela brings heaps of passion and love for cooking into this magazine that you can’t help but fall in love. Together with her contributors who are based all over the world, this magazine has a genuineness to it that I appreciate so much. Here are a few of my favorites below – from the layouts to the interviews and recipes, it’s altogether yummy!
I love this understated spread, no photos, just a gorgeous smattering of pink watercolor. It’s a really nice visual break.
An interview with food blogger Aran Goyoaga.
The array of type in this magazine is gorgeous.
“Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man’s growth without destroying his roots”. – Frank Howard Clark. So true!
An interview with food blogger and now book author, Béatrice Peltre.
“In the second issue you can read gorgeous interviews with Aran Goyoaga and Béatrice Peltre and you will find here affordable recipes with focus on seasonal ingredients and inspiring photography with emphasis on home feeling. Equally, you will discover enthusiastic Romanian food blogs, such as Just love Cookin’, Alison’s trials, Gatherings of the World, and their vision about food and photography. We also featured a wonderful haute couture house found in Bucharest by the curious team of Designist. The art and joy of the perfect tea has been presented to us by Miss Babacilu, a costume jewelry designer.” Great job Gabriela, nicely done and so inspiring for all!

Oh this is beautiful, I want to get out my own watercolors now.

Thank you everyone for this amazing feedback. I am so happy to find out your wonderful thoughts about this new issue.
@Shane – currently I’m publishing the magazine both in English and Romanian, both version being available online, world wide, free of charge. I do think to make the magazine in print for future, at this point, though, you can read it just online.

More gorgeous and inspiring food styling and photography. Thank you for this! I wish that I could hop out of bed this morning and cook and photograph. I will, it’ll just be a few spots down on the list once my family is roused and fed and watered and dressed and I have walked them to school on this lovely sunny day!

@Jen Causey – Hi!!! How are you? It’s been awhile and I hope that you are well. I don’t think What Liberty Ate is a direct copy of What Katie Ate or else I wouldn’t have blogged about it because I don’t seek to support copycats.Katie is in a league of her own. I see tons of people out there with a similar aesthetic but are doing their own thing really well in their own right. As for the name, I’ll give you that, it is a bit too close for comfort but I never noticed it until you pointed it out.
May 12th, 2012 at 2:54pm
@Holly – Hi! You pointed out very well the differences, thank you. As I have already told to Jen Causey on Twitter, the names are far away from being similar. It might seem because of the association of the words, to be similar, but the meaning is different, and the people who are reading my blog and have seen my work know that we are completely different styles. The name of my blog is supporting the concept of freedom and it’s going into a totally different direction than Katie’s. It has also a tag line which is completing the name by “raspberries and chocolate”. We are both speaking about food and taking photographs, but again, this is not a sign of similitude. Moreover, I feel is quite unfair from Jen’s part to make such statements, before really checking what’s behind all this work. Otherwise, I think we can name here a few other pretty popular food blogs which are using Katie’s style (meaning : fonts, making magazines, photo style, etc., etc.), but no one is judging them, because their blog names happen just not be using words as “what” and “ate”. Thank you

@Gabriela – Hello! Thank you for your comment!
I wish bloggers would talk to eachother through private email and less “through” blog comments and publicly…. It seems so counterproductive and puts me, who was only trying to do good, in the middle and I don’t want to be.
