When I received the offer in my mailbox to subscribe to this new magazine, I declined their offer. I was still reeling from hearing the news about the death of Gourmet, one of my favorite food magazines. While standing in line at Borders bookstore (yes, I was there again) I decided to grab this food publication and see what it is about. Food. Well yes, it is about food.
One of the selling points is the fact we get to see so many Food TV personalities. They have taken time from their busy schedules to give us more of their favorite recipes. There is even a section about truffles by world famous Chef Jacques Torres! Chocolates, just in time for candy making to enhance our upcoming Valentine’s Day. If for no other reason, I recommend you go out and buy this edition, so we can do a chocolate candy making event together. I love him, and even visited his tiny chocolate shop in Brooklyn, back in November 2001. His chocolates are utterly amazing and I believe if you Google him, you can find his web site and you can order on line.
There are lots of healthy recipes within these pages and delicious fattening ones that make you want to try them. I decided to put together one of my own just from looking at the front cover. Here is a photo of my healthy dinner I served tonight. I used lemons, grapes, oranges, mushrooms, cucumbers, carrots and grape tomatoes. Orzo and angel hair combined with butter, olive oil, salt, pepper and dill weed, made for a healthy and inexpensive dining experience.
Alton Brown, Paula Dean, Emeril Lagasse, Bobby Flay, Guy Fieri and The Neelys all share their Super Bowl weekend recipe ideas. It’s nice to see them in their new magazine. It’s just plain friendly!
