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!

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.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
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
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
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.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
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.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
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.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
I love Cooks Illustrated and also enjoy Cook's Country (ditto the "a little hokey" but have made some good things from it - Boston Cream cupcakes last weekend) I enjoy Bon Apetit but do not know if I will renew because I don't seem to make anything from it unless I get it from epicurious.com. I also very much like Fine Cooking. I find that Gourmet and Food and wine don't have much that interests me, a little too 'fancy' maybe or maybe it's because I don't drink wine?
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
I had a subscription to Gourmet from 1975 onwards; I thought nothing beat it for writing, photography, and recipes. I never made a clunker! There was something so old school and elegant about it. I bought the annual collected cookbooks, too. Then, sadly, when Ruth Reichl assumed the editorship, she decided to make it newer, fresher, hipper. There were all sorts of little sidebar-y pieces on gadgets and there seemed to be fewer and fewer recipes About 5 or 6 years ago I let my subscription lapse.
I've tried Saveur and Food and Wine and Bon Appetit, but none have ever filled the void left by the old Gourmet. Now I just get Cooks Illustrated and use Epicurious.com.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
Over the years I have subscribed to Gourmet, Bon Apetit, Fine Cooking, Saveur, Food and Wine, and Cook's Illustrated. I have enjoyed them all, except Cook's Illustrated, I realise that puts me in a serious minority. While the techniques can be somewhat interesting, I find the actual recipes too bland and sometimes, too dumbed down. I picked up the Fall Entertaining issue, because of the apple tart pictured on front, and it had what I consider a bad recipe for shrimp and andouille gumbo: no okra or file, clam juice instead of shrimp stock, and insufficent seasoning. Then I checked out an enchillada recipe that used tomato sauce instead of chilli gravy! Yuk. I left the magazine in the trash room of my apartment, hoping another resident would enjoy it. No more impulse purchases of CI for me.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
Cook's Illustrated, Saveur, Gourmet (I've been getting that since 1969). I also cook out of Sunset, less now than before it was bought out in the early '90's. (I own most of the old Gourmet cookbooks, too, but they pre-suppose a level of technical knowledge that keeps me from recc'ing them to inexperieced cooks. My kids, who cook very well and quite creatively, hate them.)
I top my cereal with _____
Sliced bananas!

Chew on That
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
I only get CI. The rest I buy here and there. Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Fine Cooking, never see much I want to cook recently in them. Since food blogging became so popular in the last 3 years I tend to spend my time reading food blogs. Of course I also buy a lot of cookbooks.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
Another one that is good for watching restaurant trends is Sante. Definately industry oriented and might be a bit dry for teh average reader, but usually has good info on who is doing what.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
I used to get quite a few, but now only get Saveur and Vegetarian Times. Saveur has to be the top food magazine in terms of photography and complex, but definitely make-able food (http://saveur.com). Vegetarian Times cause I'm a vegetarian and they're obviously not meat-centric.
I top my cereal with _____
My favorite breakfast..going on 4 years now...is cottage cheese mixed with maple syrup or honey, topped with grapenuts cereal and blueberries ( ok, I know you asked what we top our cereal with, but I flipped it and told you what I top with cereal!)YUM!
I top my cereal with _____
cinnamon. lots of cinnamon mixed in as well as the occasional dried cherries or strawberries
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
My top four picks right now would be Gourmet, Cooking Light, Eating Well and Vegetarian Times. I find that those four combined present me with an amazing selection of articles and food every month to keep me going with a great variance from issue to issue. If I had to pick one favorite? I think it would have to be Eating Well- I have yet to have a recipe from them turn out poorly, and I love the informative articles.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
While I like Bon Appetit's recipes, I much prefer Gourmet or Saveur for the writing and photography.
Food Mags: Which to Choose?
Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country(I agree with cookiepie. It is kind of hokie but has some good recipes).
