After almost 70 years, Gourmet Magazine is being shut down by it's publisher ,Conde Nast , in favor of keeping it's sibling publication, Bon Apetit. Print media seems to dropping out of the race as fast as you can say" world wide web". Although I have complained about the direction the magazine has gone in in the recent past - I can't believe they have decided to do away with what is known to many as the Culinary Bible. Despite the sleeker look and perhaps more approachable nature of Bon Apetit, Ruth Reichl has done a tremendous job of maintaining the cultural relevancy while preserving the traditions of this magazine since she took over. It's really been an institution among foodies and culinary / travel enthusiasts for decades. I look forward to receiving my issue each month, and I will miss that very much. I have enjoyed many, many recipes from it's pages as well as the practical knowledge I have gained from reading Gourmet over the years.
This is SO sad.
