UGH! Well as most of you probably have heard by now, Gourmet magazine went out of business last month. Much to my horror, my subscription will be fulfilled with Bon Appetite. This is really a bad food magazine. I had not read it in years-and now I know why.
The visuals are very unappealing with very little photography to speak of at all. And what is photographed is as bland as the recipes sound. It has a true identity crises, not sure if it is a health magazine, a foodie mag or perhaps "busy mom's guide to fast food at home" magazine.
In any event-it is NOT a replacement for Gourmet who's food jumped off the page in glorious beautiful photography. Tempting your taste buds with glistening juices or creamy textures. It was truly a beautiful magazine written for those who love food.
The articles were vivid and engaging - educating your mind and your palate.
As close as I have come to Gourmet is Saveur. It has all the same virtues of Gourmet. It does seem to be a bit more experimental that Gourmet ever was-but that is a good thing after reading the bland and benign Bon Appetite. Don't bother with this one folks!
