sabiko satru,
Yep it was started from how ABT room in Dwarika hotel in the format of copy paste for 2 issue with stiched version of 45 pages. Then we step in with the AHME ( association of hospitality educators) in third issue from him taking over the managment. Then present creative editor was back from Hong Kong and purposed the magazine could be benefited. It was then Him, Suresh Basnet adn BB Chettri who started working hard in magazine with one computer and one table in Naxal. Then Creative Editor suggested that as ABT given Name was directly copied and may face copyright so It was converted into AHME's Food and Wine. Then ABT left and was credited till 7th issue as Chief Editor.
Now you should know it Dont Belong to AHME's but to Hospitality Media with nine publishers. Today the circulation  is 6,000 and it is 84 pages and from dashain issue it is going to be 100 pages and today price is 75 rupees as during his time was 45 page priced 100 rupees.
Some facts Mr. ABT should know.
1. Food and wine Magazine got its original cover page in 3rd issue
2.Curves and Color started designing the magazine from 3rd issue
3. Now Food and Wine has active 4 publisher
4. One of them conceptualized the idea of and gave name food and wine yatra
Though we do credit MR. ABT for it and today to see magazine in this format He should be proud and what he had left has become something else. You  need strong idea and mind to carry it forward and If MR. ABT was there he would have stoped by 5 issue coz taking loss of 1.7 lakh loss per month and now we are in 23rd issue is not a joke
Though kudos to MR. ABT for what he started from chef's chamber of Hotel Dwarikas.
If you are real ABT you should be proud your intuitive is alive not dead. Other wise his relatives and his marketing guy made more profit than him just by getting commission from press and more..have you thought of it. Poor ABT today his institute is suffering from same problem ....
