Does anyone subscribe online or magazine to
http://www.cooksillustrated.com/

If you do, I'm wondering if in the magazines there is an overly amount of
emphasis on beef, chicken, pork. I am not adverse meat and eat it
occasionally, but my cooking interests lie elsewhere.

Thanks,
Dee

I agree. As a country, we should be eating a lot more duck, goose, and
lamb, not to mention fish.

I have been subscribing to the magazine for a while now, and find that they
try to be very balanced with each issue. That is, there are recipes for and
information about desserts, veggies, meat, etc. Maybe it's a bit heavier on
meat than some might like, but there is always something about veggies,
often very interesting.

I have subscribed (or tried to) for several years now. Top notch
content. A lot of meat, but good coverage of other stuff as well. The
worst costumer service with subscriptions I have ever seen. I have said
three times that I was fed up with the service, but I keep going back
cause I like the magazine so much.

It's a good magazine, lots of tips and techniques for all of the dishes it

Yes, I read on the googled newsgroups that it was a problem. Too bad, isn't
it that they have to screw up such a good thing by frustrating their
constituency. Their big loss!
