Thanks for the tip. The launching pad is this, but you seem to need to subscribe to go much further:
Yes, part of the plan with him, ATK and Cook’s Country. Pay to play, they gotta earn their money somehow.
At the bottom of the weekly Boston Globe recipes from Milk Street/Christopher Kimball is this notice. Of course, not helpful if you are not a Boston Globe subscriber.
“Christopher Kimball is the founder of Milk Street, home to a magazine, school, and radio and television shows. Globe readers get 12 weeks of complete digital access, plus two issues of Milk Street print magazine, for just $1. Go to 177milkstreet.com/globe. Send comments to magazine@globe.com.”
And on the show, the hosts always reference their website for ‘this recipe and more’, but do not say it is free. I subscribed to his mag when it first came out (a charter membership, no less) and it was okay until renewal time came up and then I decided it wasn’t worth it.
Same thing for me, both for ATK when he was there and the Milk St. site. Both seemed big, confusing marketing schemes, which is one of the reasons I lost respect for him. His recipes from Milk Street in the Globe seem slightly more complex and interesting, but I can usually kind more complex and interesting recipes for the same dish elsewhere.
I prefer complex and interesting and freeze leftovers that aren’t eaten a few days! Otherwise I’m good with really fast and easy I improvise.
I have a feeling Kimball has earned plenty of money.
