Good Food mag subscription?

[threeisthemagicnumber]

Thinking of exchanging some Tesco vouchers for a Good Food Magazine subscription. I'm a fairly confident cook and baker but stuck in a bit of a rut and looking for some new ideas.

Is there a good variety of recipes for different skill levels? And some different ideas?

I subscribe to this and really like it - lots of nice seasonal recipes and some good ideas for family meals. I'm not a particularly skilled cook/baker but I find lots I can make and just drool over the rest! It's a lovely treat when it pops through the letterbox every month - much nicer than getting it from the shop!

I did exactly the same with my nectar points but I get Delicious instead, I prefer the recipes.

Thanks WannaBe - just what I needed to know. Am pretty clueless about what's seasonal but would like to learn.

Kellamity Tesco don't do Delicous but I'll look out for it next time I'm shopping

I did it for a year on Tesco vouchers - was really good for ideas.

I get for my birthday from my sister, but I have found most of the receipes are on goodfood website anyway so I will be stopping it this year.

I've just subscribed and am unreasonably excited about getting it.

I've decided to try 1-2 "new" dishes a week, and it will work out better than trying to buy different cookbooks... I hope!

Do they do Olive?? I got that last year, and really enjoyed it.

I love getting a magazine and sitting down with a cup of tea to leaf through it whilst ignoring the children

I'm planning to try a couple of dishes too flying and also hoping DH won't mind the magazines as much as another couple of cookbooks.

cats they do Olive and I was tempted - the description of it being about diningout and foodie travel as well as recipes put me off slightly...maybe I can get that next year.

I get Good Food with my Tesco vouchers and have done for about 3 years running now. I love it plopping through the door once and month and I always find at least a couple of things I want to try in each issue. The Christmas ones are especially good. There's always stuff for Easter, Valentines etc too.

I can't see me stopping it any time soon.

My problem, is bringing myself to throw the old ones away!

I used to buy Good Food, a few years back, I got every edition for a couple of years.
I found it quite repetitive, and not that inspiring, and most of the recipes are online.

I'm only planning to get it for a year or so to build up some basic dishes - then I'll browse and buy if I want it.

I quite like the features on "how to".

Great British food magazine is also good, seasonal recipes, nice features and there are always a couple of lovely competitions, things like 'win a years supply of apples' or 'come stay in a county house hotel and learn how to make cake' ..!

I love GF and askrd for a sub for my birthday. I have done loads of new family dinners from it, and the Christmas copies gave me loads of ideas for presents & cake decorating etc. While a lot of the record are online, I wouldn't necessarily search for them, seeimg them in the magazine encourages me to try new things.

I'm with Netto on this one I'm afraid.

it does get repetitive, but if you're only doing a one-year sub it's fine.
I've been subscribing for years (and i used to work for the subscriptions company )

Thanks all. I'm with you flying, only planning to do it for a year (maybe Olive next year?) and I'll keep the recipes I've made and liked.
