The Secret Ingredient: Crème Fraîche
Creme Fraiche is wonderful stuff and worth searching for. I know I am going to try the sorbet.
Dinner Tonight: Reuben Sandwich
Reuben's have a way of hitting the spot everytime. Quick and satisfying.

I simply love the combination of sweet and spicy.

What one food mag should I get?
That is a hard one. I subscribe to 5 or so, I have lost count. They all have there niche. Saveur tends to focus on one subject each issue. Cooking Light is great if your goal is healthy eating. Cook's Illustrated is wonderful for the how-to of cooking. Maybe you should pick two ot three!

Thanks for the tip to use creme fraiche in mac 'n' cheese. I had some homemade stuff that needed to find a tasty home: http://eatcheapeatwelleatup.com/2009/09/08/you-fraiche-thing/

If you live in an area that has an "edible" magazine that's the one to subscribe to. They all focus on locally grown and produced foods. Great recipes and photo's.You can also pick up copies for free at advertisers locations but subscriptions help to support the magazines and the local foods movement. FYI: I am the publisher of edible South Shore, we cover southeastern Massachusetts.

I love Fine Cooking. I used to get Cook's Illustrated, but found the "one and only" attitude more annoying than endearing.

American, Saveur. UK, Olive. Australia, Donna Hay.

No mention of La Cucina Italiana? Gorgeous pictures, great articles, and wonderful recipes.

Cooks Illustrated gets my vote too. But, after reading this I might switch to Cooking Light for a year or so.
What one food mag should I get?
Cook's Illustrated online - ALL the recipes and issues.
I subscribe to Saveur, Bon Appetit, and Cuisine At Home.

I sub to Everyday with Rachael Ray and Saveur. I have always loved Saveur. I used to sub to Bon Appetit (for many years) and to Gourmet (still love it but don't sub). My mom subbed to Food & Wine for many years. I don't like Bon Appetit as much as I used to. I would go with Saveur if you want an interesting magazine aside from good recipes. If you want a magazine of just good recipes to cook from then I would go with Food & Wine. I also like the new Food Network magazine. It is a difficult question to answer. So many good ones.

How come nobody mentioned "Taste of Home" ? I think it's great.
What one food mag should I get?
Gotta be Saveur, it's just too much fun!
What one food mag should I get?
Saveur is great for its approach to the culture of food.
Eating Well is excellent for information and preparation of healthy food.
Also subscribe to Bon Apetit.
If all you want is recipes, look online: epicurious, food network, serious eats, chow, not to mention all the print magazine sites.

Why choose? Chances are your local library stocks most of the favorites, and at our library I can check out back issues. So I can peruse Bon Appetit, Cook's Illustrated, Southern Living, and Cooking Light and even take home a few for seasonal stuff.

I really like Cooks Illustrated and their companion mag Cooks Country. Great recipes and the articles are fascinating.
Now, I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but I just picked up the latest issue of Taste of Home and really enjoyed the new format. Yes, they have recipes with canned soup and biscuits in a tube, but I thought it was a vast improvement over their prior look.
My suggestion, go to your local library and check out some of the above mentioned magazines and find out what YOU like best.
What one food mag should I get?
Right now I subscribe to Saveur and EatingWell. I used to subscribe to Cook's Illustrated as well.
CI lapsed at one point and I picked up an issue about 6 months later and realized about 50% of the content was familiar and sure enough I pulled out an issue from 2 years prior and there were about 5 recipes in the old one that were "revisited" in the new one. So I didn't resubscribe.
Saveur I probably won't renew b/c the past several issues have had way too much advertorial in it. I used to really love the magazine but now I find it take about 15 minutes to get through and I don't have that happiness I used to have.
EatingWell has been a great source for health recipes. I find it less laden with "low fat" fake things than Cooking Light plus it just concentrates on food.
What one food mag should I get?
They have been doing seasonal ingredients and no short cutting for a long time now. . Their focus this summer has been on salad dinners.For example, their kid-friendly recipe of the day is about fresh spinach/couscous salad with a grilled steak. I don't want to think too hard in this heat so these suggestions are there,imho, to jog my memory. When I'm ready to think again, I'll go back to F and W, Saveur, Bon Apetit, Gourmet, and my over 300 cookbooks library for fresh ideas! Also, since the magazine's focus isn't food, it is useful for other things as well.
What one food mag should I get?
I've been wondering this too. I used to get Real Simple for the recipes...but now that I try to eat seasonally and from scratch it's a bit on the useless side.
What one food mag should I get?
Saveur. Stopped subscribing to all the others, even when they are offered for almost free.
What one food mag should I get?
It's hard to pick one so I subscribe to the following: Saveur; Cook's Illustrated; Food and Wine; Gourmet; Bon Appetit; and Everyday Food. My favorites are Saveur and Food and Wine.
What one food mag should I get?
There is a new on called Eating Well that I received a subscription to that is pretty darn good. Interesting articles and good recipes so far. I have gotten all the others over the years and have like them all. I think Bon Apetit is my all time fav though.
What one food mag should I get?
Saveur is one of the best magazines out there, regardless of category. But as someone above noted, each issue is usually focused on a singular topic. So on its own, it may not suffice. But it's the best. We've subscribed to most of the other popular mags, but we now get just Saveur and Gourmet.
What one food mag should I get?
I like either Cooks Illustrated or Fine Cooking.
What one food mag should I get?
My faves are Cooks Illustrated and Savuer...two different food worlds.
What one food mag should I get?
Everyday Food is my magazine of choice. Each month there is something you can make without spending a lot of money. I try at least one recipe from each issue. I subscibe to FN magazine also but I will not renew my subscription.
What one food mag should I get?
Cooks Illustrated is what I'd like Food network to be, full of good quality information (tested) and no advertisements. Dave
