What's Your Favorite Food Glossy?
I was a huge fan of Eating Well magazine when it first appeared, and was disappointed when they let it go, only to be pleased to see it reappear a few years ago. Some of the best food journalism out there and not so much gimmicky hype about diets as much as common sense recipes and suggestions for, well, Eating Well.

Food Arts is a great magazine for recipes, trends, chef moves, professionals and foodies alike. Highly recommended.

Food glossies sometimes look like fashion mags, and we all know how informative models can be about food trends. Right now I receive Chocolatier, Food & Family (a Kraft foods freebie with a beautiful calendar, such a deal!), Modern Baking, Sante, Fine Cooking, Cooking Pleasures, and Cuisine at Home. I am going to try Lidia Bastianch's magazine next, and get my Saveur, Gourmet, and Bon Apetit subscriptions back on track. Christmas is coming!

I'd have to say Blog Soop is my favorite food magazine!
Coming soon to the streets of New York--a glossy food magazine comprised of material from the best food bloggers in the City and around the globe.
You heard it here first!

Can we put together a glossy magazine recipe? One part practicality of Cook's Ilustrated, One part fast recipes of food and wine, a dash of Lettie Teague's Educating Peter series, a little Levine, Edge, and Road Food folks, some Sietsema (Robert, that is), a dollop of Time Out NY restaurant reviewing, some Industry stuff from Matt and Ted Lee, some rotating bloggers on trends(chez pim, becks and posh, tablehopper, amateur gourmet) and an occasional celebrity or noncelebrity chef like Bourdain or David Chang writing in first person. No idea about the pictures.
I realize the combination may lead to an absurd magazine, but it would be nice to have a glossy that isn't as dowdy as Cooks and isn't as glossy as Food and Wine. We need some edge in print, not just online.

I like "Food & WIne," though mostly for the News and Notes section, and really only for two reasons: (1) when they feature a new food &/or dessert that is available through mail order (that was how I discovered Jo's Chocolates in California), and (2) when they recommend restaurants. I sometimes get "Bon Appetit," but I just like the restaurant reviews and their Features section. And I ordered a subscription of "Gourmet" magazine after I went to Ruth's book reading here in Miami (she was fantastic), but other than restaurant reviews, I don't get too much out of it. At times I have picked up "Choclatier," but I'm not crazy about it's format and I wish it spent more time reviewing restaurants & providing information about places they recommend to get chocolate.

As a big food writing fan, I've been horridly dismayed by the food writing in the NYT magazine. Ever since Mollly O'Neil left they haven't been able to find a consistent writer who can tell a story about people and food with a sense of humor. Amanda Hesser was winning me over with her series about meeting her husband, but seems to have lost her spark soon after her wedding (aren't we entitled to a few years of bliss before things get dull?)
Since then, the only magazine that consistently delivers on the backstory of food - the people, the history - is Savuer. Its a little over the top and impractical as a cooking magazine (I'm not tracking down malaysian fermented shrimp paste), but its generally good writing (if sometimes lacking in humor). I never cared for Bon Appetiet or Gourmet as they always seemed a bit too much in the In Style mode, selling how everything's delicious and perfect. But am I being unfair?
But instead of paying for 80 pages of advertisements, I have been happier to read the great food writing that's popping up in the blog world. Ed, I think you're great and appreciate the tips along with the sense of humor. NY Mag is has some good writing and posts everything online, and Michael Ruhlman's blog is starting to develop. So save some paper and read the crappy glossies with the endless ads when stuck in airports.
What's Your Favorite Food Glossy?
I subscribe to both Bon Appetit and Gourmet. Both I can flip through and toss in a day's time. Too many advertisements, food is too hoity toity to be practical. I used to be a avid supporter of Martha Stewart Everyday Food but that went downhill quickly too. I have to agree that Olive Magazine is the best out there...why oh why can't we have a US version?
What's Your Favorite Food Glossy?
I'm actually a bigger fan of "Cooks Illustrated" than the other food glossies right now. I love the hand drawn illustrations and the recipes are spot-on. Christopher Kimball isn't exactly a glamour puss, but he's smart, funny and a really good read.
