Favorite Food Magazine

[zilla369]

If you had to hold yourself to just one monthly food publication, which would it be? I started with Gourmet, but i got tired of leafing past travel/hotel advertising (not that that's not valid for Gourmet, just not what i wanted in my monthly food mag)

So i switched to Bon Appetit, and i'm pretty happy with that.

Any other indispensible monthlies i'm missing out on?

Saveur.

Edit: one word post & I misspelled it.

Sauveur.

Its actually Saveur. You must not really get it. Busted.

[zilla369]

Saveur.

That would probably be my next choice after BA. Seems like BA has a lot more recipe ideas for the buck...but the food styling is very nice in Saveur.

Hehe.

I love it, awbrig. I follow you around for a bit, bust yer chops, & you get me back!

You said just one, so forgive me.

If I could only get two monthlies, it would be Saveur plus Food & Wine.

I'll shut up now. (At least on this thread.)

meh, i don't really care how many someone mentions. Just trying to track the favorite-favorite.

It's the puppy avatar that melts your heart & allows me so much leeway, isn't it?

Saveur is my favorite. I'm a sucker for beautiful words.

Cucina comes in second, because I'm a sucker for recipes that aren't in my collection already.

I find Food & Wine and Bon App just a little too repetitive and non-creative for my tastes. I read maybe one of each per year, maybe.

When someone starts a fan magazine devoted to the joys of Southern Louisianian Boudin, then that'll be my favorite. Let me know.

Bingo...i lerve me some puppies.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...did i finally pick a new thread topic that hasn't been covered recently?

[Jason Perlow]

Saveur, hands down.

Its been a while:

click for: Cooking Magazines, Not all are created equal

I kind of enjoy seeing Food Arts in the mail.

Saveur second, sometimes some of the topics really don't interest me, though.

I leafed through a Cooks Illustrated at Nightscotsman's and was very impressed. Pure content. No Crap.

The above mentioned are all good, but I get this regional magazine called Northwest Palate. Great little mag for us Northwest folks. It has Oregon, Washington, B.C., and Idaho food and wine info in it. Worth checking out!! Here is the link;

I like Saveur, but I think it's geared more to traveling than cooking. I find Fine Cooking and Cooks Illustrated more useful. As for quarterlies, I think Ed Behr's Art of Eating is superior.

I'm relatively new to this site as a participant. Pretty good stuff.

Ah, if we're including letters & the such, I'll rank Thorne's Simple Cooking near the top of my list.

[torakris]

I would have to say Fine Cooking at the moment, though I also enjoy Cook's and Eating Well.

Right now my very favorite is Elle la table (the Japanese version), but since it is in Japnese and probably not readily available out of Japan it isn't a choice for everybody!

[DaveFaris]

Cook's Illustrated

[Carolyn Tillie]

While I own every copy of Saveur (save two) and enjoy it, I adore Gastronmica purely for the literati and obscure articles.

[beans]

Oh, I'm the queen of magazines. My mail carrier hates me for all of the publications (catalog too) that I receive.

#1 Chocolatier

2 La Cucina Italiana

3 (really a tie with the above) Pastry

And for a non food mag who has an lovely food section feature, Coastal Living. I can hardly wait for their arrival into my mailbox.

For a catalog: King Arthur Flour -- awesome!

edit due to inability to type after a few glasses of wine.....ooooops

Restaurants USA, the official mag of the NRA.

I miss the old Cooks Illustrated from years ago...

[DaveFaris]

How has it changed?

[thebaker]

the old Cooks Illustrated has nothing to do at all with the present one, it was way before the present one.

It is interesting that no one so far has said Gourmet is their favorite. Why do you think this is? While I am here, I can say that I save my copies of Gourmet for airplane reading and that is has regressed to be more like the pre-Ruth Reichl days. I like Behr and Thorne the best since they have forums that are conducive to candor and integrity.
