Braised Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic
I love food magazines! I love drooling over recipes and pictures and reading about other people’s experiences at restaurants or eating in a different country. Two of my absolutely favorite food mags are “Fine Cooking” and “Saveur.” They are both quite different but appeal to me for their beautiful pictures, content and recipes.

No, it’s not because I don’t like the magazines, it’s mainly because I have many back issues as I’ve been subscribed for many years and I don’t cook enough with the ones I already own (yeah, I’m one of those who can’t get rid of old issues).
