A new online food magazine

Screenwriter Amy Ephron has just launched a web magazine, One for the Table, devoted to musings on "food, politics and love." The site offers food-centric stories by Ephron, her daughters Maia and Anna Harari, her novelist sister Delia and the site's contributing editor and Saturday Night Live alum Laraine Newman.

Also thrown into the highly literate mix are restaurant and book reviews, recipes (such as the Grill's creamed spinach or pot roast a la Newman) and links to sites for ingredients and cooking gear (including Plessisville maple sugar chips and Guerande fleur de sel).  The site, which will be updated daily, also has stories from guest writers and excerpts from stories published elsewhere (such as one on waffles by L.A. Times columnist Russ Parsons).

Today's issue features a review of Osteria Mozza and a cookie recipe from Arianna Huffington -- maybe that's where the politics comes in. Fun, eclectic and well-written, Ephron's magazine should be an entertaining addition to L.A.'s Internet food scene. And who knows? Maybe with the impending writers' strike, it'll be the start of a new trend for frustrated screenwriters. I wonder if Ethan Coen bakes pies ...

This site sounds worth missing picking up the dog from the vet for. Does she have any recipes for turkey necks anywhere? Anyway, thanks for the info. Can't wait!
