content: I've been subscribing to Bon Appetit since 1993 (when I was 17 years old no less)and pretty much enjoyed every issue. My favorites are the special holiday issues, which have really helped to make Christmas and Thanksgiving memorable and fun (who wants the same old every year?)My one complaint had been the snobification of the magazine...nothing but Bentley ads, multi-continental travel spreads, $500/pop restaurant reviews, and why you too should own a yacht, $600 corkscrew, or gold-plated cheese-service.However, in 2008 the magazine started running stories and recipes where cost AND time are actually considered. There have also been more articles about local food products and simpler lifestyles...this is most welcome, especially to us readers who still make under 50K/year but never-the-less love good food, good company, and a good read.
