More than worth the money I paid for it.

Two thoughts:

• That’s too bad. I hate to see a magazine fail, especially one with a long history like Gourment.
• I like Saveur better anyway. I subscribed to Saveur first, and when I added Gourmet later, I found it wasn’t really necessary to me. I’m more of a Saveur kind of cook, I suppose. [Saveur tends to have long, well-illustrated articles chock full of entry points. Lots of pictures. Lots of accessibility to world cuisine.] Gourmet is too esoteric for me. [Gourmet has a lot more words, too many in my opinion. And I'm a writer. But I need to see the food, and learn how to make it. Not read your thousands-of-words-long thoughts about it.] Actually, I think I’m even more of a Cook’s Illustrated kind of cook — you know, hey, let’s try it this way and see what happens!

That said, I love, love, love Epicurious.com. If I could have but one cooking website, that would be it. It is by far my favorite recipe archive online. I rarely have to go beyond it. Here’s hoping Conde Nast continues to fully support Epicurious, no matter what happens to Gourmet.
