The magazines, in their now-passed heyday, at their best were a platform for excellent food writing, well-tested recipes, and sometimes armchair travel.
Plus for some of us (raises hand again) the magazines were a sorely needed chance to unplug from electronic devices.
Today when I crave that unplugged experience of learning about something new to me in the food world, the option I still have is finding myself a well-produced cookbook. Yet it’s not the same as having a fresh new issue of a favorite food magazine show up monthly with the possibilities of surprises and adventure in its pages.
That’s what I miss.
