The past year has been chock-full of mouthwatering bites and novel sips, and at PostMag, we’ve had the distinct pleasure of covering only the most intriguing stories from the constantly simmering world of food and drink. Here’s a look back at our most delectable long reads from the past 12 months.
1. The fabulous fridge
The fridge is one of those appliances that is a wonder of modern technology but also mostly ignored – that is, until a power cut forces us to scramble to save our groceries.
