Away with your multi level marketing scheme.

It comes out bimonthly.
I cancelled my subscription because 90% of the recipes were of the "You're doing it wrong" variety and being contrarian for its own sake.

I have an online subscription but I'm probably going to cancel soon. I get a lot of my recipes from them and the explanation of what works and why is cool, but I do get some of my recipes from other places online and it's fairly expensive if it isn't comprehensive.

I have one of their big baking books which was nice when I was first getting in to baking bc it provided a full explanation for each recipe of why it was formulated that way and their exact method and why. so it was a great educational resource and recipe book in one.
looking at it now though a lot of the recipes are needlessly complicated or rely on certain baking myths/traditions for the sake of it OR go out of their way to create a new "perfect" method so who knows. It looks nice on the bookshelf though

I just read off of the issues that a friend of mine has. You can get pretty much the same info for free if you just watch the America's Test Kitchen YouTube channel.

THIS

I subscribed for about 3 years then, realizing what I was reading was just poorly reworked recipes I could get anywhere online, cut them off; “preboiling your chili meat to reduce fat” was the endpoint for me

This shit is on PBS, funded by the American taxpayer.
But, then when you go to the website to get the vague incomplete recipe you saw on PUBLIC TELEVISION, they force you to make a "free" account and log in, so they can track you and sell you shit.
Its basically a scam, and Trump was correct to shut down funding for this absolute bullshit controlled by extreme liberals.
The firing of Chris Kimball and replacing everything with forced diversity fake smile bullshit ruined a show that was once pretty great. BOYCOTT

settle down, little fella, PBS isn’t coming for your guns

>>12724916
This is awesome

It used to be great when Kimbal ran it, but now it's just semitic/roastie/multikukti dreck.
I watched an episode of ATK a month or so ago, after not having seen it in several years, and they've added a gay chink chef, a gay soiboy chef, a fat whale of a negress, and a couple of jew chefs. Their last upload to YT was a recipe for fucking Egyptian food.

>The firing of Chris Kimball and replacing everything with forced diversity
Have you seen Kimball's new show? It's like 2/3 non-white women on that show.

Yeah "Milk Street" blows donkey balls.
Early 2000's was kino time for tv cooking shows. Now every show in existence is getting blacked, riced, jewed, pooed, and rainbowed.

Cook’s Illustrated is great - it’s one of the only cooking mags I give a shit about because it has helpful tips. A subscription might be alright but getting one of the larger recipe collections is fine unless you wanted to read specifically about say digital thermometer comparisons

>REEEEE why isn't my cooking show teaching me how to make yet another variation of veal parmigiana for the 10th time just this year

Not what I said at all, retard.

I had a subscription in the 90s, lasted 7 or 8 years. There has been a definite shift in quality and content over time. I let it lapse because they started repeating the same recipes over and over. (there's only so many ways to roast a turkey or bake bread). Then there was the overthrow of Chris whatizname.
One of the reasons I let the subscription lapse was because "internet". Who needs a magazine, or cookbook, when you can just google what you want to know?

>>12724278
Yes it's a great mag.

Had a subscription to the mag for awhile, but their writers really started losing the plot and started trying to justify their jobs.
>want a quick, easy weeknight meal for two?
>just buy $60 worth of supplies,
>spend a mere 4 hours in prep time
>follow this 35 step recipe
>prebake one part for 15 minutes at 450
>then bake for 45 minutes at 350
>then make the wine sauce while the main dish rests
>now it’s time for the sides!
Fuck that hipster bullshit. While it’s nice to have meals that taste good, it’s not 1909 anymore. People have better things to do than just living in a kitchen all day, every day.

this, I used the equipment reviews to buy some stuff and printed out a bunch of recipes then canceled, not worth it for me, having said that if anyone wants me to look up something ill post it
