Other food magazines have arrived, 'Olive', 'delicious', and now even Jamie Oliver's 'jamie', but in my opinion there is nothing like BBC Good Food for a huge variety of quick, healthy, fun, challenging and exciting recipes in every issue. You might not always learn something new, it's not always cutting edge, but what you will ALWAYS get without fail is a good recipe to try for any occassion: TONIGHT, or AT-THE-WEEKEND-WHEN-AUNTY-MAVIS-IS-POPPING-ROUND or even, THAT-CUTE-GUY-FROM-WORK-WHO-IS-A-VEGGIE-IS-COMING-OVER-FOR-A-CANDLELIGHT-SUPPER-WHAT-ON-EARTH-WILL-I-COOK. invariably, my response to such dilemmas is along the lines of 'and me my apron and a glass of pernod, clear a space for me on the sofa, i am consulting BBC GOOD FOOD and WILL NOT be disturbed'... and usually i am not disappointed. my gran likes this magazine too.
