BBC Good Food
We bought several issues of the magazine while living in the UK for a few years, and kept them with us when we moved back to the States. They're still our primary source for recipes, and we have yet to find a better magazine. The recipes focus on the freshest garden ingredients of the season (naturally, there are a lot of root vegetable recipes in the winter -this is Britain, after all). We can generally manage to find all the ingredients in the States, except that paneer (Indian cheese) has been a challenge. Remember, rocket = arugula, courgettes = zucchini, aubergines = eggplant, and coriander = cilantro.I have been reading BBC Good Food off and on for almost four years. It has consistently been better than any other food magazine period. (although its new sister from the BBC called Olive may give it a run for its money). Olive seems to have taken over a few of the features they used to run in this magazine and even without them, this is still the best there is. I love this magazine. I bought my first issue in Kenyatta airport when my flight got delayed and I was desperate for reading material. My best purchase in Kenya! When my husband went to London I had him pick up the next issue. Great healthy, practical recipes and beautiful pictures, plus helpful information. It's fun to read some of the terms the British use for cooking. I lament that there are no discounted US subscription rates. Maybe if enough of us buy it in the US, they will find they have a market with us!This magazine brings the best of british cooking to America. The recipes are easy and adaptableThis is one of the best food magazines I have ever read lots of great photos and easy to follow instructions. You may need a little help with the British names for some foods such and aubergine (eggplant), and capsicums (bell peppers). If you love the Naked Chef, Nigella Lawson, Ainsley Harriot and the many other great British chefs, you'll love this magazine!
