Really loving the articles in the fire theme - didn't think I would since I have no opportunities to grill - but it's really interesting to see how it shaves lives around the world (cooking fish in a kettle, fire as the center of life in the third world, using the natural heat of a volcano to cook, campfire cooking, etc.); love the clip from The Global Pantry (love their previous book too); and a beautiful look into Malaysian food.
Don't Like
Not really interested in the rating of oven mitts (not something I spend any money on), and I'm really disappointed in the Greece feature - what's the point of an article about an "odyssey" if there's almost no scenery in the pictures?
Yum
Too many yummy things! Pa-o Long Beans (I've always seen these in Chinatown and been curious about them); Grilled Skirt Steak, Argentine style; Whole-Wheat Pancakes with Blackberry Syrup; Ricotta Pudding with Glazed Rhubarb; Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings; Orzo with Artichokes and Pine Nuts (maybe this will fix my bad feelings about orzo); Almond French Toast; Strawberry Clouds (meringues, strawberries, cardamom-scented whipped cream); Gratinéed Gnocchi with Spinach and Ricotta; Tapenade-Filled Burgers; Lime Cordial; and Mango Puddings.

Breakfast Cereal Cookbook; the focus on Albariños, one of my favorite types of wine; the gorgeous New Zealand pictures (though I'm upset that the recipe for the "fluffy Portuguese tart filled with passion fruit" isn't included); and the Land of Lemons makes me want to go live out of a tent under a lemon tree
Don't Like
I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of this month's cover - it's a gorgeous picture, but I just don't like zucchini, so the whole thing is ruined for me
Yum
Roasted poblano meatloaf (with corn Chex in it); I never liked muesli as a kid, but I'm thinking that if I made my own and served it with yogurt and blueberries and peaches, like in the picture, it would be amazing; blueberry brioche; everything lemon: lemon salad with orange zest, limoncello, lemon risotto, lemon custard, and especially mozzarella grilled with lemon leaves (I may have to take a trip home to my mom just to spend a week with her lemon tree); the side mui drink with Chinese dried plums is intriguing; cornish pasties; and corn relish
