Its like the anti-Cook's Illustrated.

Wow. No doubt in my mind those are sponsored, and not "Sandra's preferences" - otherwise why not ID the brand of "cream of mushroom soup with garlic"? In that case, someone's not paying to play like they're supposed to.
Just wow.

This is an assult on the very delicacy of my nature.

Her magazine blurs advertising and editorial with brands specified in recipes and decorating. Wow, what a shocker. And, it's against the rules. Who knew? I guess it's not against the rules to blur food with nasty chemicals though. Phew. You dodged that bullet SLope (gravity hit).

"There must be other media companies out there desperate enough to cave into this scheme (we're looking at you, Food Network)."
That slap at FN is just silly; she wouldn't have this platform if they hadn't given her a bully pulpit on TV years ago. FN failed this test already.

It looks just like the Kraft "cooking" magazine that my mother gets. Not really recipes as such just ways to combine their products.

More crap cooking for mewling cabbages. That is my review of it.
I call bullshit because it is. What kind of people read this SLop?

My first though was "Well, it won't last long anyway..."
Not sure that's totally true though. Sadly.
