January Bon Appétit -- not bad, not bad at all...

[buttertart]

I think BA is on an upward swing - the January issue has interesting recipes and feature articles (a very nice one on La Grenouille in NYC, and one on Martin Picard's cabane à sucre restaurant, for example), and is the first place I've read that there's a new Ottolenghi cookbook coming out (on the food of Jerusalem, for joy for joy). The editor's commentary is a bit on the too too side, but in general it's worthwhile reading. Check it out.

I thought it showed a lot of improvement. The article about the Thai food and Pok Pok restaurant prompted me to check out their website, they have some wonderful looking dishes. I need to give the fish sauce chicken wings a go sometime soon.

I was really disappointed by some of the issues from summer and fall, but this one was a very enjoyable read.

I agree...thought it was a great issue, lots of interesting recipes...it made me go out and purchase Plenty, and I've made a bunch of those recipes, good stuff! The info on their "Food Lovers Cleanse" was also really good, and I've tried a few of those dishes as well. The article on Thai cooking was also nice, although the formatting made me think it was an advertisement at first!

Good to know. Mine hasn't arrived yet. I thought the last couple of issues were better as well.

I just have to remember to rip out the perfume ad as soon as it arrives ;o)

I actually saved my December issue (something I don't do, I just rip the recipes I want out and toss the rest). It was cookie heavy and I am a cookie baker and felt a lot of those recipes looked like keepers.
