 To the front of the class! August 28, 2002

I have over 35 classy cookbooks and, over the years, have subscribed to most of the best "foodie" magazines such as Gourmet, Bon Apetite,Taste, Food and Wine, etc.
Saveur, without a doubt, is absolutely the best. Not one recipe tried has ever failed me and I get raves from friends and family alike. I am a fairly accomplished cook/chef but always learn from Saveur.
For those of you who have not tried to make a true Italian Lasagne as opposed to the typical "ricota" cheese lasagne, please look into making the "Bolognese Lasagne". This takes quite a while to put together and I suggest doing at least once on a small scale. Then, double the Bolognese Sauce only on the next attempt and you may freeze the extra. This saves a lot of time. This is outstanding and very different from our standard idea of a lasagne. I used fresh lasagne purchased locally instead of making my own.
Reading the articles that actually mate with the recipes are very interesting and you get the feeling of having really produced something authentic.
As a last note: I recently wanted to make a recipe which i could not immediately locate in all of the Saveur Magazines I have. I sent an Email to Saveur requesting the recipe and it was copied and mailed to me the same day....talk about customer service!C E M

I have over 16 Magazine subscriptions, 10 of them being Cooking Magazines. Saveur provides you with a different sort of cooking magazine, definately with a heavy intent on the background of food, their articles are more in depth about the locations and even the layout of the magazine is different. If you enjoy this magazine there is a web-site that you absolutely must check out it's called "ethnic grocer" you can find all of the rare ingredients that you find in some of the recipes that are featured in Saveur. I always feel like I've actually walked in the shoes of the writer and the articles are so vivid that you can almost taste the exotic-ness <---- is that word?) LOL of the flavors. If you can get the subscription at a good price, GO FOR IT! A warning though be prepared to want to immediately run out get a passport and travel to the locations that are featured. Happy Reading

photography, as well as fun side-bar info on culinary/cultural
events worldwide.

Saveur isn't in the same genre as other cooking magazines, and it is for precisely that reason that I give it a five-star rating. While I love my Bon Appetit and Cooking Light, Saveur is a completely different way of looking at food and cooking. It's far more cultural and in-depth than any of these other magazines can possibly be, given their target audiences. If you really want to take an in-depth look at food and culture, I highly recommend Saveur. The recipes that are included are very cookable. But this is a magazine you'll certainly want to read as much as you cook from it. It's not going to have recipes that you make on a busy weeknight. Rather, these recipes are cultural investigations and weekend projects. They're great for entertaining if you have friends who are as curious about culture and food and who love to experiment as much as you do. After reading Saveur and trying the accompanying and well-chosen recipes, you'll have a much greater appreciation for culture and food. Saveur really gets to the heart of the spiritual joy of eating and sharing food. If you can't travel, Saveur truly is the next best thing, and in this respect, is a highly "accessible" resource.

One of, if not THE best culinary magazine in print. (The only one to surpass it is, of course, the French edition of Saveur.) It has excellent articles, reviews, and the recipes are some of the most original I've seen. I give several gift subscriptions each year...and the recipients ALL resubscribe. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
