Art Culinaire July 31, 2008
Fantastic! These are actually hard covered books filled with innovative, beautifully presented culinary ideas!! Highly recommended for anyone from foodies to culinary professionals.

This is an interesting "magazine" -- actually it is a hard back book with great photos and state of the art recipes. I just got my first issue yesterday, so I haven't yet tried them, therefore I don't know if the recipes really work. What I do know is that this isn't the kind of magazine to turn to if you are looking for a quick idea of something to make for dinner tonight. The recipes are complicated with many different parts and steps. That said, if you eat at cutting edge restaurants and ever wonder "how did they do that?" this will tell you how. Also, there is nothing that says you have to make every component of a given recipes. For example in a complicated recipe for fish with a chickpea crust -- just the chickpea crust on the fish would be wonderful.

This isn't a magazine, it's a phenomenon. A hard-backed reference for new culinary trends, and photos of plating to guide you with. If you are a chef, you must subscribe at least once to see for yourself if its useful to you.

I discovered this "magazine" while employed as the Reference and Instructional Librarian at a Culinary College. The four annual HARDCOVER issues arrive with just one ad - the back cover. The recipe quantities are typically for a family size rather than the mass serving quantities. This is important to note because this magazine IS very much oriented towards the professional or the very advanced amateur chef. Profiles and articles tend to focus on the needs of the Professional.
One patron (a local sous chef who had graduated from a different culinary school some years earlier) began swearing a blue streak after thumbing through a few issues. When I confronted him about the outburst, he apologized and explained his behavior. For three years, he had worked under a local chef and been amazed at the creativity of the chef in coming up with new recipes for the restaurant. After thumbing through the issues, my patron had realized an ugly truth - their entire menu was being cribbed from Art Culinaire. When I told him I had at my disposal a large stack of subscription forms, he immediately took one saying, "Next time, I'll be ahead of him."
Each issue is large enough and beautiful enough to double as a coffee table book (the paper quality and pictures are easily superior to most cookbooks), but you will want to keep every sauce-splattered issue as close to the stove as you can with burning the pages. There is no other magazine to compare it to and very few cookbooks that can match it.
Absolutely wonderful! June 6, 2004

Art Culinaire is probably one of the absolute BEST magazines available to the culinary industry. Currently, I'm a culinary student and I have thoroughly enjoyed looking through each copy of Art Culinaire as my school has received it. Granted, the price is a bit steep when you're only getting four issues, but when those issues are bound like a book... They'll last far, far longer than any other magazine, no matter how careful you are with the others. Myself, I'm looking forward to having some cash free so I can get a subscription.
