No Cooks Illustrated or Cooking Light? IMHO, both Bon Ap and Gourmet
have turned into heavy packages of ads. A few years ago I would have
said Gourmet, hands down. Now, with the (sometimes perfumed!) ad
pages, both mags appear to have more material on 'what you must buy'
than 'what you might cook.' If only those two are available, I suggest
a coin flip.
