You're not the only one. CI is instructive not only for the techniques
but also for demonstrating a reasonably rigorous approach to comparing
and testing. Sometimes it provokes little arguments/discussions in
your own mind, which is a good sign that it's offering something
substantive. I don't know any other food magazine that is worth its
subscription price, let alone the cover price.

We subscribe to Sunset for the gardening and travel sections more than
for the food section, but I find there is often a recipe that seems
worth trying. -aem
