Like i just pay for this on my computer once and then i get mailed a little glossy full colour A4 booklet with loads of interviews and articles and opinion pieces all about my interests in it once a month for the next year? I get to leaf through it while drinking coffee in the morning and then put it down after reading a few articles and they’re all written by professional writers not just substack cranks?
I haven’t gotten magazines regularly since i was a kid and that was just like the Beano’s swansong in the few years before it finally went bankrupt and stopped distribution, so this is all a big novelty to me. Please forgive my wide-eyed zoomer naïvety about this all, but i don’t get how millenials were ever persuaded to give this up for web articles.
(I also got a free tote bag included with my subscription!!! I didn’t even know they did that, they just mailed me a bag along with my magazine one day!)
I wish that Cooks Illustrated had a vegetarian/vegan edition alongside their regular one, so its mostly useless to me now. If thats not an issue for you then I can highly, HIGHLY reccomend. Theres only a handful of recipes per issue but theyre all well-tested and the rest of the periodical is stuff like essays on food, reviews of stuff, and tips on techniques.
I miss getting those.
damn that does sound sick and i love cooking but same problem as you in that im too moral (vegan)
(I just realized I butchered the word “vegetarian” in my previous post)
They do have a couple vegetarian cookbooks that have a lot of vegan recipies, and those are great but they are not magazines.
Miss that magazine
