Bon Appetit Magazine

Pros: Great recipes & beautiful pictures
Cons: Pages stick together when drooled upon

Bon Appetit: A Page Licker

I received a subscription to Bon Appetit as a Christmas gift last year. At first I thought it was a thoughtful gift given to me because I love to cook. However, my suspicion is leading me to believe that I...

Pros: Clear, Concise, Well Written, Nice Photos, Accessible
Cons: Not everyone is a Hamptons socialite or strives to be

Back from the Hamptons or the Cape and looking to make all those great meals that you had while you ...

Pros: Great photos, great recipes
Cons: A bit heavy on the advertizing

This is a great magazine whether you are into cooking or not. Hubby loves to cook so he reads this cover to cover and I sort of scan it for the great looking pictures. Once in awhile they have a recipe I'm willing to tackle. Recently they had a simple ...

Pros: detailed recipes, lots of information
Cons: some recipes can be quite involved

Bon Appetit is the only magazine that makes me want to rush into my kitchen and cook. I am no gourmet cook by any stretch of the imagination but the tantalizing pictures on the cover and throughout Bon Appetit make me want to give it a shot!

...

Pros: Recipes are well written and attractively presented. Those pictures alone make me hungry.
Cons: I would like more meatless options.

I am one of those people who loves food. I love to cook it and eat it but I also love to read about it and talk about it and serve it to my loved ones. Since I do love food so much, I have a collection of recipes for all occasions but Bon Appetit keeps...

Pros: Well-written; cutting edge art design & photography; in touch; relevant.
Cons: None

The world of cooking, gourmet and otherwise magazines is festooned with glossy covers adorned with tempting dishes of un-nameable foods we are supposed to enjoy preparing. But Bon Appetit Magazine has them all whipped with its life-sized ...

Pros: Beautiful food photography, recipes well written and easy to follow, food tastes fabulous!
Cons: Excessive advertising, many recipes too difficult for beginners, some ingredients hard to find.

After reading several epinions of Bon Appétit, I decided to give it a try. A number of the epinions I read stated that this magazine was good for beginners, and since I have been looking to move a step up in my cooking skills, I though there may be some...

Pros: can make anybody look like a gourmet cook
Cons: sometimes seems a bit elitist

I don't eat meat; I probably love Bon Appetit, "America's Food and Entertaining Magazine" more than I should. I've had subscriptions to the vegetarian monthlys, like Vegetarian Times, and I own just about every vegetarian cookbook you can imagine....

Pros: Every month always something interesting to try
Cons: ingredients not always available, takes awhile to prepare

Bon Appetit is the only magazine subscription that I have. I have had a number of subscriptions over the years. However, Bon Appetit is the only magazine that has held my interest and provided me useful information for eleven years continuously. A...

Pros: Great reading and a fair number of usable recipes.
Cons: Ratio of content to advertising seems to fall with each monthly issue.

I've subscribed to Bon Appetit, off and on, for about 25 years and have seen it grow from an ambitious wanna-be to a full gourmet magazine. In the process, it has gone through a number of editorial changes, each with definite ideas of what makes good...

Pros: Fantastic recipes, photography
Cons: Long special advertising sections

I need to start this by stating the truth about myself: I hate to cook. Baking I can happily do, but cooking I find too frustrating. Nevertheless, I have to say that I love this magazine.

Last year, I decided to give my husband, who loves...

Pros: Interesting recipes, great cultural information
Cons: addicting

From the gorgeous glossy cover to the very last page I am lost in chef's estasy every month. I have saved each and every issue I've ever purchased or received in the mail. I could probably recite month and year of every favorite recipe I make. This...

Pros: tons of recipes, well written
Cons: some do require obscure ingredients

Let me start by saying I am not an outstanding cook by any means. I enjoy cooking but have never found it an easy task to WOW people with my meals. My mom is an incredible cook and I could kick myself for not paying more attention to her skills when I...

Pros: Wonderful Food in Beautiful Settings
Cons: Over the counter price: $$$$

If this looks familiar...when I was new to epinions...I put this review in wrong category...under QUICK MEALS...sorry for the misunderstanding...

Bon Appetit and Gourmet offer much to ogle and salivate over. I enjoy both publications [I think...

Pros: well organized, easy to use, instructions are explicit enough for even the beginner
Cons: none

When I ask this question each morning, I am usually greeted by blank stares, or responses like, "whatever you make will be just fine". Deciding what to serve and planning meals 300 days a year is a huge responsibility. Keeping them...
