I too had let my Gourmet subscription lapse in favor of Fine Cooking. But it doesn’t mean I don’t feel the loss of Gourmet. I am very sad to see it close.

I can’t say I’m all that disappointed with the demise of “gourmet”. While I worked in the university library, I had the ability to peruse all of the back issues, and if I recall correctly, year after year, some recipes were perennial retreads, word for word. If they had even given some new ideas to put some “english” on some of these “oldies but goodies”, perhaps I might feel differently. Heck, even Bombauer’s “Joy of Cooking” gets updated, once in a while…

I’m sad about Gourmet, too.

I had a year subscription to Gourmet but let it lapse. While I did enjoy some of the articles and restaurant profiles, every single recipe I tried from the magazine failed or was not tasty. I even wrote a blog post about it. I prefer Fine Cooking now.
