Under The Tuscan Gun, The E-Zine has launched!

Under The Tuscan Gun has been online for a few years now, and it has grown into something really special, for us as we graduated from video blogging to prime time television, but also to the thousands of readers and visitors that every day come to visit us on our pages. Demand for new content has increased, now that we have consolidated a fan base, and I had to think of a way to satisfy the demand without having to spend my nights glued to my laptop trying to create new posts, and expand the range of topics I always wanted to discuss. Don’t get me wrong, I love writing and sharing my Extra Virgin “philosophy”, but I also have a family and when the sun goes down, you know, my time is with the girls!

Hence, I decided to reach out to a bunch of writers and bloggers I have been following and corresponding for years, and I asked them if they were interested in joining me on Under The Tuscan Gun and try to create a wider platform where more topics rather than my personal life and my food experiences could be discussed. I am humbled by the outpour of their generosity, and with this post I am very glad to announce that as of this week I will be joined by a first batch of about 15 new contributors that will be posting along with Debi and I on a weekly basis. I am sure some of them are no news to you, as they are actually very popular bloggers with great popularity and incredible “chops” like Nicole Emmert Hamaker from Pinch My Salt, Rachel Rappaport from Coconut and Lime, Barnaby Dorfman from Foodista and Douglas Gayeton from The Lexicon.

We won’t be only discussing food, even if obviously that will remain the main topic focus of this website, but we are now expanding our horizons and start discussing topics we deem absolutely connected with the kind of lifestyle we embrace: Sustainability, Urban Farming, Renewable Energies, Education, Politics of Food, History of Ingredients, Food Photography and much much more. I never ran a magazine before, so this is for me a trial by error and a high dive into unknown waters; however, I believe that our passion and commitment will be easy to perceive and appreciate, and I have the outmost confidence in the talent of all the contributors that have decided to join me in this brand new adventure. Their generosity is enough for me to think that we can do well and continuously engage our readers with interesting writing, proactive ideas and inspired attitude.

My search for contributors and writers is far from over, as I aim to develop here what I call a Mashable of Food and Lifestyle. So, if you would like to submit yourself and would like to offer your contribution to these pages, please feel free to reach out to me via the Contact Page or on our Facebook Fan Page. I am looking forward to hear from all of you!
