A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« Mudlark Bloom Memento Boxed Notes | Main | Review: August Bon Appétit »
So for some reason I get half my magazines a month ahead of time and half weeks later (and some of my subscriptions don't come at all, forcing me to buy them on the newsstand halfway through the month). This leads me to think that the way I've been reviewing the magazines needs to be revamped. From now on I'll comment as they come, or whenever I read them, and I'll just comment about the things that really stand out to me. Hopefully I'll still be able to make a few of the dishes every month and give my feedback.
The main thing I have to say about the July magazines is that if you only buy one issue all year, now's the time to do it. How can you go wrong with magazines dedicated to summer foods? Everything looks delicious! Gourmet is the Produce Issue, with reviews of how restaurants use local produce (or pretend to) and recipes for Two-Berry Shortcake, Roasted-Tomato Tart, Grilled Corn with Herbs, a beautiful terrine (don't think I'm up for making it quite yet) and Zucchini Ginger Cupcakes. Bon Appétit has the BBQ Issue with Chocolate Scones, Avocado Soup with Ancho Cream, Grilled Corn with Queso Fresco, Chili Powder, and Lime, and Peach and Blackberry Shortcakes with Blackberry Cream. Their burgers are a little too complicated, but so pretty. Living is a little heavy on the red white and blue theme, which doesn't do me too much good now, but so much yum: Strawberry-And-Cream Cheesecake, a salad of Tender Lettuce with Pickled Currants (and pate on baguette), Bing cherry mojitos, layers of red currant jello layered with vanilla panna cotta, Blackberry-Mint Julep, and lots of yummy dips. Lots of pretty lanterns too.
