200 x 275 mm, 72 pages
Ljublijiana, Slovenia
Editor: Jake Mike Boy
Born from a Substack of the same name, GUTS! celebrates all things gizzards, offal and tripe in it’s innards-packed pages. Densely text-based and boasting a sharply sarcastic tone, the monochrome pages tell irreverent stories from the world of offal and hospitality, hoping readers might too share editor Jake Mike Boy’s unapologetic appetite for innards. Plus, recipes, offal-filled city guides and tripe-serving restaurant recommendations ensure you never have to miss a guts-filled day.
This debut issue brings together 33 contributors from around the world, half working in hospitality, to explore how offal ‘has shaped the world.’ Inside, you’ll find investigations into Heinz’s alleged role in the decline of tripe, reflections on the future of the family meal (hint: food waste savvy dishes are the way forward), and a critique of the sacrilege that is a vegan haggis. Occasional illustrations punctuate the text making for a bizarre yet entertaining read.
