Martha Stewart Living - A magazine review

Filed under: Book Reviews — Nicky @ 1:24 pm

 I really enjoy this magazine, even though it is not entirely devoted to food.  I often find the articles pertain to the kitchen in one way or another.  This magazine, is however, a little on the pricier side as far as monthly magazines go, at $4.75 an issue.  I think the price is fair for all the information you get each month.  You can get a subscription for $20.

The magazine is nicely laid out with beautiful photos and interesting articles.  I really enjoy the ask Martha section and the food and entertaining section.  I will say some of the craft sections are a little, well a lot over my head in terms of skills needed to complete them.  I admire the handy work, but when I look at it I think I would have better luck building a space shuttle.  Foodies will no doubt enjoy the What’s For Dinner section with the headline - a meal for 4 in an hour.  This section contains nice cutout recipe cards and beautiful photographs with tips on preparing the meal in an hour.  Like most higher end food magazines there is a recipe index at the back for quick reference.  I really enjoy this feature as I am often searching for old recipes that I saw months ago. 

All in all I really enjoy this magazine.  I like the fact that it contains lots of information on all things home, but it also contains as many, if not more recipes as most of the normal food magazines.
