Why magazines as opposed to books? If it ideas you are after I don't find that many ideas in magazines. After you look past the ads, and interviews very few ideas.

I particularly like the books that are found on the JP Prince site (too many to list) as they are moslty geared to professionals of a high caliber. I also like books that are put out by well-known restaurants. They give me plating ideas.

As far as fast paced goes. It (mostly) all comes down to mise en place. Whatever ideas you are looking to execute break it down into those elements that can be made ahead of time and just assembled to order.
