Appetizers

Plus Ça Change

Look around, and you might notice a few changes to our humble publication. First, and most apparent, is the name. Gourmet is out, and a new era is upon us.

The long and short (and legal) of it is that we have agreed to rebrand and cease use of the Gourmet trademark as part of a confidential settlement agreement with Condé Nast.

For the rest of the month, we will call ourselves [Untitled Food Magazine], though you’ll keep receiving emails from this same account (editors@gourmetmagazine.net) for the time being. As the clock nears September, a more dramatic transformation will begin. If you’re a paid subscriber, your bill will still come, as always, from Goulash Unlimited LLC.

Why the whole process? Sometimes the best approach is low and slow: we’re going to ease into this transition so that as few readers as possible are shocked, upon return from their vacances, to find a new name in their inboxes. Prepare yourself for some notices on the same topic over the coming weeks, along with plenty of mouthwatering anticipation as the date of our full rebrand approaches.

The heart of the magazine—the stories, recipes, editors, voice—remain, and with our new name, we are looking forward to doing some things that we just couldn’t before. 

Thanks for sticking with us, and as always, hit the inbox with thoughts, tips, pep talks, and your favorite recipes for times of transition. —Alex, Amiel, Cale, Nozlee, and Sam
