I am so sorry for your husband's loss, Athenaeus.

I must add for the record, I noted his inaccuracies pursuant to his historical facts, but I was not about to edit his editorial.

It's ok Kimmie.

We are discussing here and I must say in a very friendly way.
Our times are difficult, people all over the world are in pain and they have accumulated anger in their souls .

So...

Let's do something nice for our souls , let's do something nice for our own Small World as Goethe would say, since we cannot always do much for the Big World

Let's dance in our kitchen
Let's bake!!

I thought this was a great thread and wanted to add another magazine to the list- Taste of Home. It's not a gourmet type magazine, but there are no advertisements, and it has a section in it called "Fishing for Game Recipes?" that features, well, game recipes! I like that especially, as it is difficult to get a good variety of recipes for such meats out of most cookbooks, without spending an atrocious amount of money on lots of cookbooks (of which I already have shelves full!)

I have been getting Cook's Illustrated for several years now and love it. No (yes, none!) advertisements and well researched techniques and recipes. General theme for each dish, idea, etc. is they spend tons of time trying different stuff and tell you about it and the "why it works" as well. Also generally have 2-3 variations on each recipe that you can go straight to if you want to skip the educational background.

Also lists variety of useful resources relevant to each issue's focus. Generally 8-10 articles per month, plus an editorial and two pages of mini-hints.

Very good IMHO.

I've finally had it with Bon Appetite. I am sick and tired of wading through 500 pages of advertising. They are now starting to design the mag so that it is harder to tell the difference between advertising and editorial. I have subscribed to Fine Cooking instead.
