Food &Wine Lick the Plate’s favorite culinary magazines

I’ll start with Saveur, one of the most attractively designed magazines in any category. I’ve framed several covers from this gorgeous publication, which is as beautiful inside as it is on the cover.

to recipe, more of a how-to magazine.

The contents are full of step-by-step illustrations on cooking methods and rigorously tested recipes.

As much as my world is consumed by all things digital, I am still a fan of a well-designed, well-written magazine in print form.

There is something exciting about opening my mailbox to new issue of Saveur, Rolling Stone or Sunset and the anticipation of devouring its content. I’ve made the transition to tablet consumption of many of my print publications, but there are still a few that I will always prefer in their paper form.

Given that “Lick the Plate” is all about food, I thought I’d share some of my favorite magazines in that category.
