For me, when it comes to expanding my knowledge about food and to expanding my culinary repertoire of recipes, it's NOT about which chef prepared the recipe first. I'd love to see more shows on the Food Network (or features in the magazine) having to do with the home cook!Michelle Rittlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662267848184660743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-5076800487795828972008-12-31T15:22:00.000-05:002008-12-31T15:22:00.000-05:00I've been meaning to blog about it for ages.

I'm surprised to hear that the actual Network isn't advertising it more readily. You'd think they'd devote every other commercial to it!<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year!Michelle Rittlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662267848184660743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-58755278938769000382008-12-30T11:42:00.000-05:002008-12-30T11:42:00.000-05:00HoneyB - I'm glad it wasn't just me who felt the m...HoneyB - I'm glad it wasn't just me who felt the magazine was lacking something special... something that would make me want to buy another issue!

Anyway, big thanks for breaking out the-behind-scene info on Top Chef. I've often wondered about that.<BR/>Happy New Year to you and yours.FOODaloguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355740020698779655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571519282245961307.post-81574927546438729842008-12-30T06:59:00.000-05:002008-12-30T06:59:00.000-05:00I did get it and I wasn't too impressed...and I pa...I did get it and I wasn't too impressed...and I paid for mine! No, I wouldn't subscribe to the magazine myself...not going on the first issue. If I see it in the store and after glancing through, decide I would like it, then maybe I would buy it, but I am not compelled to subscribe.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068638453383917637noreply@blogger.com
