Ok so im going to do a confession........I buy too many cooking magazines! When im trying to explain my cooking obsession to people its hard for me to really relay my passion. Now in saying that i am not professing to be the "BEST" cook because im not! i just really like to. I went through a stage where i wanted to find really good one bowl recipe recipes. Then a stage where i did alot of pastries, then i made alot of bagels and pretzels ect ect Really i think i do this to say "i can" or "I have made that before". So i have my actual cook book collection, i only buy the book once ive found a cook i really like or i look at the pictures and know thats what i like to cook. I get given books too which is really good. Im easy to please in this area! Then i have my magazines which above as you can see i like to make sure their in order. I live in Australia and two magazines i like to buy are Martha Stewart and Racheal Ray. I found out that local news agencies only carry one or two copies over here in The down down under so i have the lovely ladies at the news agency reserve a copy of each every month. OK my USA readers (if in fact i have any) i pay $9.95 for each mag, i know i know that $20 a month. I actually stopped buying the Aussie ones to be able to accommodate this purchase. But in saying that i often am loured in by fancy front cover pictures in the super market. So the picture above is a a sample of the mags i "KEEP" if i dont cook 3 or recipes from them i give them away.
This is a pic of some of my cook books. I know maany women have moany more than this but i like to only keep what i actually use, and of course i actually do use them!
Here are some more
And this is what i keep my Mags of the month in so i dont have to dig for them
Some samples of what i buy and, Good Taste, recipes plus, better homes, i always take a copy of the free ones at the super markets, Martha, Raqcheal and Good Food!
these are the two current ones im concentrating on right now and i actually do bake or cook from them (so i can justify them) So ill post a Mag recipe review a little later!
