 The great little recipe book! November 12, 2005
I subscribed to Everyday Food on a whim and am so glad I did. Fresh, seasonal recipes, also very well illustrated and documented recipes, not to mention easy! I subscribe to other "higher end" cooking magazines, but find myself always grabbing this one to sort through first. The recipes (typically) will not be complicated for most and will not require an ingredient that most Americans cannot find (which I find so refreshing!). If you are a novice or experienced chef, any home cook could benefit from this magazine. Now, if ya'll would excuse me, I have some cranberry scones in the oven (from this magazine, of course!)

This magazine has really blown me away. I wish there was some way to measure the amount of time it has saved me in the kitchen! I bought it at first because of the master shopping list in the front which allows me to stock up my pantry and freezer at the start of each month and then make smaller trips for each weeks' worth of food.
I like the Have You Tried? feature which helps me introduce new foods to my husband and toddlers. I really like how the recipes are designed to use the same ingredient several times... I'm not left with 3/4 cup of some odd condiment which will sit in my fridge for a year and then get thrown out.
I absolutely love the meal index; I check off each recipe as I make it which allows me to glance at the overall picture of our diet and see if I have given my family enough variety of different meats and vegetarian entrees. There are side dishes, after school snacks, breakfast ideas, a microwave recipe, a freezer recipe... they really have taken the time to cover all bases. In fact, in just a few short months it has gotten to the point where this magazine is all I cook from. My cookbooks are gathering dust :-) It has simplified my life to such an extent that when my mother called to see if I would bring a dessert to a family party, I grabbed the magazine and read her the list of 6 recipes. We picked one that would be easy to make and transport. It was a lot easier than brainstorming what to choose out of the hundreds of desserts one could possibly make.
I like that the recipe is all on one page - I attach it to my range hood with a magnetic clip and everything is easy to read but out of the way, not getting food spilled on it. I also love the size which fits perfectly in my handbag and in a Ziploc bag once the month is over. I put the magazine pages for each issue in a bag with the index on top and when my husband asks about a recipe, I can easily glance at each one until I find the dish he wants.
And I'll tell you another thing... many of the dishes contain salt and pepper and maybe one other spice. The food is light and fresh tasting and delicious. In fact, since I throw out my jarred spices after one year and replace them, my pantry shelf is down to just a handful because that's all that are called for in the magazine. This magazine has saved me a TON of money. Not to mention time! My kids are 3, 1 1/2 and 6 months and this magazine has been a lifesaver in every way. The cooking techniques are so easy that I can often prepare dinner with my oldest daughter, which she loves. And I love that I am in and out of the kitchen quickly (most recipes I have found are less than 30 minutes) and I am enjoying my time in there more than ever. In fact, I even have the energy most nights to clean up the kitchen after I'm done :-)
I could go on and on but the most salient point is this: I feel healthier cooking from this magazine. My fridge is packed with produce like it never was before! I'm actually proud of the food I feed my family and that is worth every cent I've paid for this subscription and then some.

As an author and food historian at www.CookingUpHistory.com I collect and read dozens of foodie magazines. This is a favorite because it pertains to how real people eat...meaning the kinds of foods we like to eat on a daily basis. Yet, there is enough variety of recipes and how-to's to keep it inetresting. Great as a gift for a host or hostess.
BEST Magazine ever! January 8, 2005

On a friends recomendation, I got a subscription to this magazine. I LOVE IT! I am always looking forward to new issues.
When I first subscribed, I thought it would take a long time to get an issue. I received one within a month, and then another in a week. (they sent me the current, and then following issue)
I was in heaven!
I go through them all, and put sticky notes on the recipes that I like for easy access. This entire weeks dinners have come out of their menus.
As for the Adobo Chili girl, it took me awhile to find them, but once I did I understood why they always use them. What a great flavor!
A great magazine for someone that can cook, or someone that is kitchen inept. I have recently gotten a friend addicted that could burn a pot of water, and now she is using recipes and calling me all proud.
awesome! January 8, 2005

My grandmother, who I often consult on recipes, ingredients and cooking techniques, got me a subscription to this magazine. She handed me 2 issues in person. I loved the issues so much, I couldn't wait for my subscription to kick in and ended up buying the December issue from the check-out line.
I love the little educational columns "how to buy chicken!" and find the recipes easy to follow. Even better are the pictures of how to prepare the meal.
My only complaint is that I see a recipe and can never remember which mag it is in for future reference. I'd love to see a book.
Lastly----what's with the chiles in adobo sauce?! They seem to be in a lot of recipes for such a rare ingredient!
