I have to agree with all the praise for Delicious, it is a beautiful magazine. The only problem I do have with it though is that there is alot of ingredients that I can't get here in New Zealand. I pick up copies whenever I can afford it, or whenver I need a magazine hit.

I have found a relatively new magazine here in New Zealand, which is our version of Delicious I guess, called Taste. I subscribe to this one.

http://www.taste.co.nz/

Our local supermarket chain has there own quarterly magazine as well, so I tend to buy that one too.

And sometimes I will buy Cuisine (NZ version) or another magazine called Dish, but they tend to be quite expensive and I'm not really fond of their photographic layouts.

Other than that, my local bookstore, while having a large range of magazines doesn't stock many food mags from overseas due to suppliers. So I don't tend to see alot of these magazines that people have been talking about.

I so agree on Saveur. I love the way it tells the story of food as it relates to culture. I find Donna's stuff stunning to look at but ultimately pretty shallow and contrived. I don't get to see many of the other US magazines mentioned (in Australia we see Gourmet mostly).... are there any others that take a food-culture approach like Saveur that I should be hunting down?

Last night, I was reading a local Massachusetts newspaper and there was a blurb that Delicious is going to try the market here in the US. I believe copies should be available in some bookstore, supermarkets, Target, etc. within the next several weeks.

That's great news about Delicious, but isn't it already in the US? I thought I saw it in Borders when we were there at the end of last year. It would have been the UK edition, which is geared for the northern hemisphere seasons.

It's my favourite magazine, the current one has lots of great winter recipes in it including a Persian feast and bistro recipes from Melbourne's best bistros, but no salads. Too cold!

I think you can buy it here, but the one they are going to start selling is specifically for the US.

Thanks for that, Heather. Wow, from humble beginnings less than 5 years ago to 3 separate publications. Good for them! It's still my favourite mag, and the one I reach for first when I want some ideas, some info, or even travel info.

We were in China a few months ago, and last October Delicious did a fairly comprehensive article on Shanghai which we referred to constantly during the week we were there.

Let's see...

Food and Wine
Bon Appetit
Everyday Food (a Martha Stewart mini-mag that is all food/recipes)
Cooking Light
and just recently, Cooks Illustrated (although I have yet to get my first issue).

My mom subscribes to Gourmet and Sunset (not just food and cooking) and she shares those with me when she's done as do I with my old ones.

they are going to have a full page with UK-Aussie-US ingredient names and measurements like Australia's Women Weekly for the US market? Smile

I just got a copy of Donna Hay. It's the first time I've ever seen it here and now I'm off to see if it's as stylish and promising inside as that cover that grabbed me before I saw the name.

You'll love it, Rainey! I promise. What's on the front cover? Is it the same magazine as the one we get here in Australia?

That's the same as our #27, Rainey. We're up to #28 now and I agree with you about the dark on dark - it's hard on the eyes.

But the ideas and recipes are great.

has anyone mentioned Dish(can't remember and am a bit pressed for time..as they say)...from NZ...beautiful mag...

the latest is on slow cooking....had intended reading it during any spare minutes in an oh so brief visit to Melb...we had 2 cars...10 people...lots of trips to airports etc...my son spotted the mag...hadn't come across it in NZ...the look in the eyes....oh ok....as long as you promise to cook something from it..and send me the photo of said food...

the latest Oz Gourmet is celebrating 40th birthday...I look at the covers of some of the earliest editions...yep..got that one...yep...yep....fascinating to look back at the style of photography...let alone what we were eating...

love this thread 'cause I'm a bit of a mag junkie...and feel I'm with fellow folk...
