Good Grape Wine Company

I have made 5 recipes from this first issue. and 2 of them I have made more than once. they were all simple to prepare, had ingredients I already had in my kitchen and didn't require massive amounts of prep work. the recipes were easy to follow, and turned out so delicious that I couldn't get over myself for making them. Most of them used one pan, one bowl one knife and less than 10 ingredients. my copy is already dog-eared and I have marked several other recipes I am going to try. delicious food that turned out looking remarkably like the photography (which is very nice)

here's the clincher. EVERY recipe has the nutritional breakdown for calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates and fiber. so no matter what sort of diet you are on, or even if you are not, you have the information.

I will be subscribing. it is a little on the expensive side for a cooking magazine. but I have already taken more from it than I paid for the news-stand price so I feel it is worth the money. I will probably base my thanksgiving and christmas menus off of this magazine, at least til I get the next issue.


A Martha Stewart Magazine for the rest of us!   October 31, 2003

I couldn't say enough good things about this magazine if I tried...
I buy magazines all the time and had just recently stopped buying MSL. While that too is fab magazine, I'd often think, "Wow, that's a great recipe/project/idea. Maybe one day when I don't have a life outside of being a happy homemaker I can spend the time to do that..." This magazine is different - recipes for real people! The recipes are simple and easy to follow. The ingredients don't require shopping at specialty food stores and high-tech gadgets are not required. It is the first time I have made more than one dish from every issue so far. There are even recipes that use the leftovers!
A big thanks to Martha for thinking of the rest of us...

Everything about this magazine makes it ideal for a woman who works 10-12 hours a day and still likes to cook dinner every once in a while. It fits in every one of my purses, the recipes are simple, many have fewer than 10 ingredients and most do not take more than an hour to prepare and cook!! To top it all off - every recipe I have made was excellent!! I've tried several of the recipes and have been very happy with the results each time!

Finally, a cooking magazine that is actually useful to people that don't have 3 hours to cook dinner every night.

I have been very pleased with my subscription - the pictures are beautiful, the directions are clear and easy to follow, and the recipes aren't overly complicated. This magazine is great for college students, people just learning to cook, with hectic schedules, or limited kitchen space or utilites. This is a magazine that I end up keeping 99% of the recipes, instead of throwing 99% of them away.

I've been a Martha Stewart fan for some time now and at one time subscribed to Martha Stewart Living. As disappointed as I was with MSL I am thrilled with Everyday Foods! This small magazine carries a big punch in every issue. Every recipe I made has been successful and good and some have been phenomenal. But the biggest selling point is the ease with which these taste sensations can be made because they boast simple ingredient lists, uncomplicated techniques and instructions and cooking times most under an hour. In addition, there are pages dedicated to educating with useful tips, techniques, how to guides and even 101 courses on things like wine. The recipe index in the back is useful, but the newly added nutritional info index really takes this one to the next level.

I've subscribe to countless other cooking magazines, most of which got initially purused then stacked somewhere to gather dust. Everyday foods has a special place on my cookbook shelf, but doesn't stay there long. These days it gets more play than any other cookbook and even my recipe file.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to cook, anyone who would like to learn to cook, anyone who wants to eat homecooked food but doesn't have a lot of time to prepare meals and well just about anyone else! I only hope they offer a hardbound edition annually as my magazines are sure to wear out from overuse!
