Tart is a magazine of interviews, essays, fiction, poetry, journalism, photography, art and recipes. Its insides evoke everything that comes to mind when we are gathered around food: memories, emotions, sensations, occasions, rituals, habits. Food is always a character, whether main or supporting, and Tart is filled with juicy stories of its many lives.
We have published stories from Lebanon, France, Tunisia, Italy, London, Iran, Bali and all over Australia. Our covers are original artworks by local Australian painters.
Tart is about moody food: what you ate on your first date, the buffet at the wake after your grandmother’s funeral, the Barbie ice cream cake you begged for for your sixth birthday party, the surprise of popping mustard seeds, the crack of a cookbook spine, the feel of paneer you made in the sink at home, the bravery of eating mushrooms you foraged yourself. These are new narratives about food, but really, they are the oldest ones.
Tart is published by Studio Sasha, a creative practice producing branding, copywriting, graphic design, publishing and editorial.
