It's a nice magazine with a lot of info. I liked it so much when I
first started taking it that I bought all the back issues....

Considering there are only 6 issues per year, it looks like
the spiral bound Annual Volumes for $18 each are a good
deal.

I got the sample issue too, and thought that it was a new magazine, I am going
to subscribe to it.

It is an established magazine, retitled. However, I don't think the
price is out of line. Fine Cooking is over $24 a year for 7 issues
_with_ advertising support. I liked Cuisine, don't remember it being at
all like Taste of Home, which relied on instant food and little
technique, but perhaps the new version is more like it.

Regards,
Ranee

Had Cuisine at Home for over a year and it's pretty good for ideas if
not the actual recipes. Color pics make it easier to view for many and
the recipes appear to be well tested, if not as thorough as Cooks
Illustrated.

I just looked at the first site (above) and checked out the sample Entree
recipe. The recipe looks fine but the instructions are suspect (to me). For
example, it says to cook 1/2 cup shallots and 2 T garlic in 1 1/2 cups of
simmering white wine. It then says this process is called 'sweating'.
Boiling a vegetable in any liquid is not what I call sweating the vegetable.
If they are trying to teach something, I would expect them to use terms
correctly.

Again, just one sample point but it raises questions in my mind on the
quality of the magazine.

If you check it out more thoroughly you will see that a single year (6
issues) of back issues cost $27.95. If you want to buy single issues, the
minimum order is $18.
