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

Posted: 05/ 1/2012 3:07 pm Updated: 05/ 1/2012 3:11 pm

The crop of May magazines saw two unusual cover coincidences. Bon Appetit and Saveur both put baguettes on the cover, leading Bon Appetit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport to tweet, "Can't for the life of me remember when a food mag put a baguette on the cover. Now we got two in the same month. Funny." Additionally, Cooking Light and Food Network Magazine both featured tacos on the cover. Finally, both Food & Wine and Bon Appetit May issues are all about travel...and Travel + Leisure is all about food.

Check out the magazines below:

Food & Wine's May issue is devoted to travel across the globe. The feature on the Maldives is refreshing, as the writer admits, "As a journalist, one gets jaded and cynical, but even for me, the Maldives creates a sense of wonder." That wasn't our favorite line of the issue, though. That honor goes to Andrew Zimmern, who writes, "I catalog noodle joints the way teenage girls collect Bieber tweets."

The issue offers a collection of the world's best food pilgrimages -- in which you would travel to a place because the food is that good. But if we had to choose one destination to book a flight to, based on this issue, it would be Istanbul hands down. The section on its mezze masters had us nearly drooling on our desks.

And, if we were traveling domestically, we would certainly check out the restaurants of some of the year's Best New Pastry Chefs. The recipes included in the issue are elegant, yet not intimidating.

When my doctor said I should eliminate all grains from my diet it didn't sound good. But after a few short weeks I started to get my energy back. The difference is remarkable! No longer have bloating and people have mentioned how much healthier and slimmer I look. Some people say it's hard to adjust to a gluten diet, but I have had a wonderful time trying out all the new foods and methods of cooking.

I've been subscribing to Bon Appetite since October 1981. Ever since Barbara Fairchild left and Adam Rappaport took over (when the magazine was moved from San Francisco to NYC), it's been TERRIBLE. More ads than food reporting, and now they're advertising cigarettes! When they put that hideous B-list actress wanna-be cook Paltrow on the April 2011 cover, that completely ruined the rag's reputation, and I haven't subscribed nor bought an issue since.

Rappaport is a FASHION reporter. He knows nothing about food except how to eat; then again, his taste in restaurants has a lot to be desired (he's a HUGE HUGE name dropper). His droll "editorials" are a pathetic rant of "woe is me."

I'll start buying the magazine when Fairchild comes back and they fire the entire NYC staff!! She's the one who made the magazine into the classic, tried-and-true publication it was. No more!!

I had completely forgotten about the change in editor. That explains also why the covers for the first couple months this year were awful, awful, awful.
