Food Mags: Which to Choose?

I've subscribed to many food magazines over the years. My Bon Appetit subscription is about to expire and as much as I like the articles and recipes and photos, I never cook anything out of it, so I'm not renewing. I'd love to bit the bullet and start getting Cook's Illustrated. I love the America's Test Kitchen show and love the website. Perhaps since I'm giving up several other magazines, I can replace those with CI - it's worth it!

I top my cereal with _____

Just milk - sometimes a sliced banana, once in a blue moon.

Valentine's Day Chocolate Giveaway

As much as I know dark is best, I'm still a huge milk chocolate fan! Yum.

What's in your kitchen junk drawer?

I only have 2 drawers in my entire kitchen, so there is no junk drawer.

Healthy Dining Finder

I have to say, after looking at the site, it would seem they've included anyone and everyone. But then, I guess you can probably find something relatively healthy everywhere.

My favorite non-chocolate dessert is _____

Probably have to go with either pumpkin pie or New York style Cheesecake.

Bad Luck Fortune Cookies

Why, when I read this post, do I automatically think of The Simpsons episode where Homer Simpson did work as a fortune writer for fortune cookies?

The Great Baking Chocolate Debate

Mich23 - I also use Ina Garten's recipe. Love it, no matter which brand of chocolate I use, those brownies are always a huge hit.

The Great Baking Chocolate Debate

Ree, you absolutely make my day! i enjoy your blogs, and love your recipes; i will have to send you my "best cake brownies" recipe...they have an entire can of 16 oz hershey's chocolate syrup in them....mmmmm.
one of the things i love most about you...your love for that marlboro man and your kiddos...so refreshing!

The Great Baking Chocolate Debate

I love, love, love Guittard chocolate for baking, especially their semi-sweet. If ya wanna get all fancy order their semi sweet, milk and bittersweet and experiment with mixing them. Sooo good! It is slightly less expensive than SB ($12 per lb) and the flavor in my opinion is superior.

i've had most of them over the years, then switched to buying cookbooks and now I love my subscription to Cooks Illustrated's website, too.

When are they going to start making large print for baby boomers? Maybe I'll start buying them again. I do miss Cooking Light the most. Confession time.....I sometimes changed the recipes to make them cooking heavy, but the originals were usually really good without any revisions. :-0

I *love* The Art of Eating. What a gem. I got a subscription for my stepmother, and I think she didn't see the joy in it, however. I think she found it pretentious. I also get Cook's Illustrated and Cooking Light.

Food Mags: Which to Choose?

CI, Saveur, some Aussie one that I don't remember the name of at the moment, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, F&W, and Everyday Food (surprisingly good recipes in the last). I'm getting very tired of the childcentrism that is creeping into all these magazines. I am sick of looking at ice-cream smeared faces and recipes for New American classic pbjs.
Other fun magazines are Imbibe and Modern Drunkard.

Food Mags: Which to Choose?

While I enjoy Bon Appetit, Gourmet, and Saveur, I currently recieve, CI, Cook's Country, Fine Cooking (I really enjoy their Cooking without Recipes feature), Cooking Light and Everyday Food. I almost never use recipes from Cooking Light and find that I most consistently use recipes from Cook's Country and Everyday Food.

I find I mark recipes in all of them, but those in Cook's Country and Everyday Food get tried first; the others often don't get tried at all.

Saveur has beutiful photography and writing with a real love of food beyond the nuts-and-blots of recipes.
I got my subscription for $5 but that deal seems to have gone away now. You can get it for $15 a year from netmagazines.com with coupon code DCMPS5.

Food Mags: Which to Choose?

I'm another big fan of Cook's Illustrated and, like previous posters, I also enjoy Cook's Country, despite it being CI's country cousin (all puns intended). I like Cooking Light, as well.

Food Mags: Which to Choose?

i get gourmet, saveur {you can get a cheap subscription if you keep your eyes open} cooks illustrated and cooks country, and everyday food.

i must confess i rarely cook out of any of them.

i love gourmet mostly for jane and michael stern. i wish ruth reichl were writing more and editing less. i don't love what gourmet has become since she became the editor, but i adore her writing.

I've subscribed to most of them in the past, but the only food periodicals I've read for the last couple years are from the Edible communities series.
