Saveur Magazine Review
By: Dan Joseph - CookingZines.com Editor
If you’re a foodie who loves to travel (or dream about travel), Saveur is the magazine for you.
This is a lush, beautiful magazine full of wonderful recipes, but so much more. This isn’t a cooking magazine in the traditional sense. This is one to be savored, that you might read over and over again.
We give this magazine a hearty five out of five stars. It’s a high-quality, glossy read that you’re bound to enjoy whether you prepare the included recipes or not. It’s won numerous awards for things like photography, design and general excellence. One look at this quality read and you’ll know why.
Saveur’s slogan is “Savor a World of Authentic Cuisine”. This is an accurate definition of the magazine considering each issue features articles on various travel destinations. Saveur isn’t a travel magazine, though; you probably won’t run to phone to book a trip when you’re done (though we have been tempted).
Saveur’s intent here, is to introduce you to a new culture, new foods and new sites, all from your reading chair. You learn about the foods of a particular area, you begin to understand how the people in an area eat, and then you’re given recipes so you can prepare those foods yourself.
For example, if an issue features India, we’re treated not just to travel stories about India, but plenty of food talk. Then, there are the recipes. The issue with Indian food, in fact, featured a recipe for mixed vegetables with coconut and tamarind. Because you might have a hard time finding some ingredients, the editors give you information about the ingredients and then tips for where to find them.
Most recipes will also have a wine selection, which is useful especially if you plan to cook for a dinner party and you have no idea what to serve with your Indian feast.
Even if you don’t cook, but consider yourself a “foodie” this magazine is still a great read. You can learn, in just one issue, the origin of a popular food, read the stories of the people who cook it often and then get one or more recipes to try yourself.
There are about 20 recipes in each issue of Saveur magazine, which is less than most cooking magazines. But Saveur is more about the exploration of food, of where food comes from and how it’s prepared, than just bunch of recipes. But the recipes are there, and they are particularly good because they’re provided by the experts – those who come from the featured region and cook those particular recipes often.
Saveur is published 9 times each year and we think the subscription rate is fair for those 9 really well-produced issues.
