Need a new cooking magazine recommendation!
« on: August 22, 2015, 04:19:25 PM »
I have come to detest Bon Appetit.  They used to be a highlight of my month, but now, they are just trying to hard and showcasing beautiful people having parties. 

Plus, I would like a magazine to give me the nutritional breakdown.  Anyone have any recs?

I like beautiful pictures, recipes that are a good mix of something different, some traditional and a bit of travel thrown in.

TIA.

I love saveur.com these days... enough I'm considering a subscription to the print magazine.  No nutritional breakdown on the recipes, but easily uploaded to online tools that analyse nutritional value (though these don't take into account things like fat rendered out during cooking...)

the best cooking magazine I ever got was La Cucina Italiana, but they've stopped producing the english language version

I flip through Food & Wine whenever I'm at my dr's, but I don't like it enough to buy it.  I follow them on twitter though, so I like it that much.

one of the things I love about Saveur is that they treat food and booze with equal reverence...  :d

I used to enjoy Cooking Light. I like Real Simple. It has recipes and other interesting stuff.

I subscribed to Saveur years ago and really liked it.  I should resubscribe.  I get Food and Wine and it is a lot like Bon Appetit these days - lots of beautiful people in gorgeous houses throwing incredible parties. A few good recipes and wine recommendations but more reviews on the latest it hotel in Italy.  I already get a travel magazine for that!

Saveur is wonderful.  Fine Cooking is very good, too.

I don't get any magazines, but Food & Wine is the first website I go to when looking for a recipe. I get their daily email recipes as well.

Maybe I should get Saveur or Food and Wine for the boyfriend's house.  I get Bon Appetit.  I guess my parents got it for me?  We read them but I don't think we've made anything from it, although a few things have looked good.  A lot of things have too many non-standard ingredients, so you can't just say - oh, I've got X and make anything out of the magazine.  The food is better than Southern Living (which my parents got for me one year in the past), although I did like looking at the gardens in Southern Living.

Usually, we are all - hey we have this and go find something online that uses it.  (The most recent search was steak and blue cheese and we found a really nice spicy seasoning for steak and a blue cheese butter to top it with.  And then since it was breakfast we were trying to use leftover steak for, we topped that with a fried egg.  Awesome!)

I'd really like to see more simple or common stuff in a magazine.  Stuff you can make without a special trip to the store for half the ingredients.  And what to do if you have rack spices vs fresh.  (I mean, I can look up which spices you have to use more of and there are a couple you use less off because they get stronger, but still, it's nice if it's with the recipe).  I guess that's how we end up online so much and that I mash recipes.  (If you find one you like, but you don't have an ingredient, you look up more until you find one that doesn't need that ingredient and then you sort of combine the recipes).  I dunno, more like different combinations of stuff you're more likely to have around, or where you can just swing by and pick up one or two things, not some big list of things that you may not have another plan for.

I used to get Martha Stewart's magazine Living for home decor ideas to cooking, etc. It was a great magazine for their photos, etc. But the copies just cluttered the house because I didn't want to put them away until I tried the recipes in them. Add to that a subscription gift of Food and Wine my sister gave me and the entire kitchen ended up with stacks of magazines on the breakfast table.

One day I decided to just rip the pages of the recipes I wanted to try and put them in a binder. Well, that binder never saw the light of day either because I found that it's easier sometimes to google for recipes while I'm onlline.

So Much ideas come up on my FB feeds from kitchn.com, david lebovitz, lette's culinaria, etc, too, so I try those. Then I consult my Julia Child's set of cookbooks for recipes of classic French dishes when ideas come up from the feeds on my FB.

I now clutter my kitchen counter with printed pages of such recipes. I guess I just can't avoid being a clutterbug.

Mags, your post reminded me.  My mother loved Gourmet magazine and kept them for years - tucked away in boxes in the attic that were clearly labeled so she could find exactly what she was looking for.  When looking for a recipe, she always remembered what the cover of that particular issue looked like.  When my parents redid the bar area in one of their houses, she hired someone to make a collage on the wall using the covers and photos from the Gourmet magazines.  It was fabulous - funky, fun and totally representative of my mother.

I lugged 20 years worth of non sppetits around Europe. I tossed them when I moved back saving just my favorites.

I'm surprised no one said Cooks Illustrated.  I love it.
