Actually, with all due respect, I agree with Barb. It's not that Saveur
doesn't have some very fine recipes, but the recipes are linked to an
article on the culture and food history of the region being discussed.
Cooking, as in technique, etc., isn't the main focus. But that's OK.
That (the culture/history discussion) is the reason I maintain my
subscription.

Of course, I'm also one of those guys who in my younger days bought
Playboy regularly, but solemnly assured everyone I only did it for the
articles...
