New Liverpool-based Good Taste Magazine has launched and appointed Jade Wright as editor. 20,000 copies of the print publication will be distributed free in restaurants, bars and cultural attractions across Merseyside. The website is live now and the first print issue will be launched at the Liverpool Food and Drink Festival in September.

Jade previously edited the Liverpool Echo’s food and drink and music pages for more than a decade and will continue to work as a freelance writer and editor alongside her new role.

Jade says of the new title: "Every week we see new bars and restaurants opening their doors. We see this in West Kirby with the great range of places to eat and drink, across Wirral and into Liverpool too. Merseyside’s food and drink scene is booming, and we want to celebrate that."
