is what it is today thanks to our beloved founder, Phyllis Hoffman DePiano. She fearlessly crafted what would become Hoffman Media, our parent company, over the last 40 years with grace and passion. As the company has grown, each of the magazines and books it has produced has been shaped by the creativity, charm, hospitality, grit, is honored to have the opportunity to highlight and share with readers how her love for the South, good food, family, and this business that she built from the ground up formed the foundation for everything we do. We hope to pay tribute to Phyllis and continue being inspired by her vivacious spirit as we carry on her legacy in the years to come.
