This past year was exciting for the magazine in terms of growth of readership and reach.  We now have readers on six of the seven continents (no one from Antarctica yet) and could not imagine in our wildest dreams the overwhelming response we received for Issue 05 that we published in October.

Let’s build on this momentum. In 2014, as we continue to explore how people around the world entertain at home, we look forward to bringing you an exciting and eclectic mix of articles on food, tableware, etiquette, cultural traditions and entertaining resources.

This year, our five most popular articles on Countlan were:

01 Happy Pills {Barcelona}
02 Yesterdish {Virginia, USA}
03 Rooftop Honey Melbourne {Melbourne}
04 Sweet Caramels from Stockholm: Parlans {Stockholm}
05 More Mochi: Mochiko {Philippines}

To our contributors, thank you for keeping our table conversations interesting.  Your writing, research, energy and curiosity is highly valued and appreciated.  Without you, we would not have a true global voice. We look forward to working together in the future.

Wishing all a relaxing holiday.

See you in 2014.

 ps. Look out for Issue 06 mid-January
