CRAFT by Under My Host® Issue No. 18 Made in America: Part III | Page 4

Dear Reader,
Apologies for the delay between issues. Without oversharing
(too much), while dealing with a loved one’s severe illness my
own health took a pretty hard blow this summer. The time need-
ed to address personal matters—physically and mentally—is time
sorely felt in the creation of a magazine. CRAFT is an itty-bitty
enterprise and each of us carries a fairly large load; when one of
the cogs is out of commission it truly mucks up the works. I am
also sad to say that my health issues have affected some of the
food and drink that I am able to enjoy in life and subsequently
for CRAFT (among them, beer. My old pal and I have had to part
ways. I am still in mourning.), and that will be reflected in the
content I write in future issue. Trust that no one is more bummed
out about this than I am. Fortunately, the few things I can no lon-
ger enjoy, Erin Jimcosky and our other writers can. Apart from
that bit of nonsense, I am back and at full steam! We can now
return to our regular programming ...
In this our third installment of “Made in America,” Barnacle
Foods founders, Lia Heifetz and Matt Kern, dish on living off
the fat of the land and sea in the wilds of Alaska in “Coast to
Kitchen.” Matt Williamson catches up with Aaron Dessner of
The National to discuss beer and the band. Dave Pickerell puts
a finer point on an otherwise young and seemingly willy-nilly
spirit category American single malt. Erin Jimcosky chinwags
with cookbook author Marvin Gapultos and pastry chef William
Leaman and manages to wrangle up some of their best recipes
for you. Really, you’ll find no shortage of tantalizing recipes and
American made food and drink from some fantastic indie makers
throughout our autumn issue.
I hope you enjoy “Made in America”: Part III, this beautiful fall
weather, and maybe a beer-tail or two for me!
