Food Magazines Wine Articles Gourmet Popular Bon One's

Gourmets not only enjoy eating great food, but also reading about it. In recent years, "food magazines" (magazines that are all about food) have become very popular. Many people subscribe to magazines like Food and Wine and Bon Appétit.

Food magazines have many articles on food, wine, and restaurants. They also "feature" (showcase; have) "recipes" (instructions on how to cook or bake something) and menus. Some articles discuss "food politics" (how government, politics, the economy, and international relations affect food choices and availability) and food-based travel. Food magazines also have many "mouth-watering" (looking very delicious, making saliva fill one's mouth) photographs of the foods described in the articles.

Food and Wine is a food magazine that always recommends one or more wine pairings for each recipe, meal, or restaurant experience mentioned in the articles.

Bon Appétit also has many articles about food, but it includes more recipes and "how-to" (explaining how to do something) articles for "entertaining" (cooking food and inviting friends into one's home to eat it).

Gourmet was a popular food magazine first published in 1941. It was an "upscale" (directed at wealthy, well-educated people) magazine, but "due to" (because of) "declining" (decreasing) ad sales, the company stopped publishing the magazine, although the "brand" (name) is still used for books, television shows, and "online content" (websites). However, the company still publishes special "issues" (versions of a single magazine), such as Gourmet Grilling (cooking outdoors over a flame) and The Gourmet Cookie Book.

These and other food magazines can be purchased as a monthly "subscription," with magazines being sent to the reader's home each month. They can also be purchased at bookstores and even in grocery store "checkout lines" (where shoppers wait to pay for their purchases).
