Food Magazines Get Recession-Friendly, Feature Cheap Recipes

New York Times:

After covering eating trends that have included haute pub food, exotic fruits like yuzu, and restaurants that dehydrated, foamed and froze everything from meat to dessert, upscale food magazines are writing about an even more unexpected topic: cheap home eating.

Reflecting the bad economy, Gourmet, which usually writes about expensive restaurants and faraway travel, has added a feature about what to do with leftovers, and put a ham sandwich -- albeit a fancy one -- on its March cover.

Food & Wine's March issue includes an essay on buying the cheapest bottle on a wine list. Bon Appétit's April cover trumpets a "low-cost, big-flavor" pizza party.

"There is an incredible opportunity," said Ruth Reichl, the editor in chief of Gourmet. "People need help learning to cook again, and they need advice on less-expensive ingredients, and we're trying to give it to them."

My family saves money by not eating out as much as we used to. We love restaurant food, especially some of our favs like Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits! I recently found a site that shows you how to cook all of your favorite recipes from restaurants. You can check it out here http://kevkev227.drecipes.hop.clickbank.net/ Just copy and paste the link in your browser. You will save tons of money eating at home and the best part is you won't have to give up all of your favorite restaurant foods.
