While I’ve been a fan of Gourmet for a while, I’ve never subscribed to Bon Appetit.
That will soon change. For the month of November, Amazon.com is offering one year (12 issues) of Bon Appetit for $10. Ten dollars.
So cheap you don’t even have to say “bucks” instead of “dollars” to make it sound like a good deal.
Books (and book clubs) are great and all, but sometimes–during a busy subway commute or late at night– reading a full page of text (and then turning the page and doing it all over again) aggravates A.D.D. or exhaustion.
At these times, captions and blurbs of text are more manageable. Especially if they’re interspersed with pictures.
My first nomination for Book Club Lite: Gourmet Magazine. Fancy ingredients and innovative techniques, but straightforward recipes. And for people who’ve always preferred pictures to words: the photographs are BIG.
I’ve decided to make several of this month’s holiday recipes in advance, to give you a heads up in case you might want to use some of Gourmet’s recipes at your Thanksgiving table.
