This Month In Food Magazines: A Round-Up Of February Issues


First Posted: 01/30/2012 10:02 am Updated: 01/30/2012 10:49 am

In January, many food magazines devoted their issues to lighter fare. But it is safe to say that our New Year's resolutions have fallen by the wayside at this point. That's why February is all about comfort food, with cover images ranging from fried chicken to mac 'n cheese. Many food magazines have taken a winter break for February -- which is why this crop is a bit light -- but most will be back with full force for the March issues. After all, spring is (sort of) just around the corner.

Check out the February food magazines in the slideshow below:

It's great flipping through the first few pages of a magazine and already learning something new -- in this case, what the heck a whelk is and that the red snappers may be slowly re-populating.

Don't Miss: We can't imaging anyone not wanting the recipe for buttery crab bread pudding. DIY layer cakes make an intimidating baking project seem more than doable. It is always helpful to have a list of America's best undiscovered wines.

Last Word: The February issue has a huge spread about chefs' charities and their dream recipes. They are noble causes, noble enough change that Mario Batali may part with his signature ponytail. Nick Fauchald also talks to HuffPost Food contributor Daniel Klein about his phenomenal web series, The Perennial Plate.

Cook's Illustrated is the best, hands down.

And so is America's Test Kitchen.

Yeah, they should have just shown the chicken leg without all that icky fried batter all over it.

Bon Appetit features plenty of meat on its covers, but this just looks like glop.

Gross?!? It's just a piece of fried flippin' chicken! It is just too funny how everything in sight becomes part of your anti-meat crusade, no matter how completely irrelevant.

Yea, the food snobs are pretty entertaining. God forbid you put a single gram of fat, cholesterol, or sugar in your bodies.

Actually, I meant it's just aesthetically disgusting. This could be a picture of a fried mushroom, and it would look gross.

Bon Appetit gone south! Fried chicken and deviled eggs? Get out of here! Since I've moved to the south I cannot get good fried chicken. Deviled eggs? Same! I lived in central PA and that's where we got the best fried chicken! Deviled eggs from the Amish country. One of the best kinds of chicken is broasted chicken and you can't get here where we live. My grandma and my mom made fried chicken better anything you can get in the south!

Nowhere on this list was there any 'Taste of Home' publication. C'mon! Best common sense cooking publication out there and not even a nod? Sure, they're not high-brow or gourmet, but I've found more excellent recipes and advice in one ToH pub than I have in all the others combined.

Okay, 'Cooks' is good, but it's more of a 'What can I learn today' sort of thing for me, a kind of cooking trivia. But for good, plain 'Good Eats' as Mr. Brown has coined, I go with 'Taste of Home'.
