Monthly Food Porn... err Magazines

 (some may think this is a problem... I call it a collection.)

I subscribe to a few food magazines and I can't bear to throw any of them away.  For now, they all fit perfectly in a plastic file box, but one day I will need to organize them and reduce my stash.

Someday I will cook my way through these magazines - it should only take two lifetimes, right?

I currently subscribe to the following magazines:
Martha Stewart Living
Where would I be without the Queen Bee of Domesticity? 

Everyday Food
I personally love the recipes in here, as they are much more down to earth.  Or less complicated... and I don't have to search for Egyptian spices... or cheese cloths.

Food & Wine
I actually don't drink, but I received this magazine as a gift.  The recipes are actually a bit more fussy at times than MSL recipes, but the pictures are gorgeous.  I just ignore all the wine recommendations.

Magazines I would like to receive:
Every Day with Rachael Ray
I admit it, I like RR.  She's not a chef, but she doesn't portray herself as one.  At least her food looks edible and doesn't mix weird flavors, *cough cough* Sandra Lee.

Cooks Illustrated
America's Test Kitchen is my FAVORITE cooking show by far on TV.  I love how they test recipes over and over to get the taste and consistency they desire, so I know 99% of the time when I cook from a CI or ATK recipe, it will be delicious.

Do you subscribe to food magazines?  Which ones?  Are there any you would recommend?

Do you also have a shameful stash of magazines?  In a box, in the back of your closet?  Like porn!  (Gleeks should recognize that line.)

  1. I get Everyday Food, MSL, Everyday with Rachel Ray, Woman's Day and Good Housekeeping (WD and GH were free with my mom's subscription). I got Cook's Illustrated for a year but canceled because the magazine was expensive for the year and not in color. My favorite has to be Everyday Food because of the recipes are straight forward and I like the "have you tried" section which gets you to try different foods you wouldn't normally make/eat.

  2. I used to get Woman's Day for free also - I don't think I could pay for it.

    Everyday Food is definitely the best!
