King Arthur Flour, America’s oldest flour company, announced today its launch of SIFT Magazine, a publication to educate and inspire people through the art and craft of baking. It is filled with beautifully written stories, rich photographs, and carefully tested recipes that will make readers want to roll up their sleeves, don their aprons, and dust their hands in flour.
SIFT Magazine is the company’s first foray into the world of special interest publications. Headed by Susan Reid, editorial director, and Ruth Perkins, creative director, the magazine showcases over 60 high-quality recipes, along with lifestyle features that highlight what’s happening in the areas of food and baking.
“Our curiosity for the connections people make through food and baking is endless. We wanted to celebrate and spread the positive energy around making great baked goods and wonderful meals,” said Reid.
The inaugural edition was released on February 24, 2015. Nearly 100,000 copies were distributed to all major newsstands across the United States. Two more issues will be released in 2015 the Fall issue will hit newsstands on August 25 and the Holiday issue on October 26.
