A couple of weeks ago we ordered some new magazine subscriptions and now they are beginning to arrive in the mail. We are very excited about these new additions and hope that you will find them interesting and useful.
For anyone who does any kind of cooking, the magazine Cooks Illustrated should be of extreme interest. This magazine is published by the America’s Test Kitchen group; the same organization that produces the PBS cooking show of the same name (which the library also has) and a weekly radio show/podcast. The recipes included in the magazine are the results of an exhaustive quest to get that recipe perfect and as “fool-proof” as possible. The article will describe the process taken through the attempts of refining the recipe: what works, what doesn’t, and how they arrived at the final product. Each issue also includes taste tests of commonly used ingredients and food products, along with kitchen equipment test results. This magazine contains a wealth of information for any home cook.
Next is Fine Gardening, a magazine is perfect for those who are perfectly content to spend hours outside in the yard and garden. The main focus of the magazine is on landscaping and ornamental plants rather than vegetable and fruit gardens, but it does give some attention to those as well. Most of the articles in Fine Gardening are how-to driven about a specific project or concept, whether that is garden/yard design, gardening techniques, plant selection and care or the garden structure and are written by home gardeners, horticulturists or professional landscapers. There are also generous amounts of illustrations that really help those visual learners among us (like me) grasp the concepts in the articles. Start planning and dreaming about your perfect yard and garden for next year now with this great magazine.
Trying to keep up with all of the latest discoveries and breakthroughs in the wide range of different science fields can be very difficult and overwhelming. Additionally frustrating is when the news of the discoveries is written in a way that you need to be an expert in the field to understand. The magazine Science Illustrated solves those problems. This magazine is filled with the latest science news and discoveries from biology, chemistry, astronomy, technology and more. The articles are written so that you don’t need a Ph.D. to understand and true to the magazines name, it is packed with helpful illustrations that really make difficult concepts much easier to wrap your brain around.
These are just a few of the new magazine titles that we have subscribed to, not to mention the over 70 subscriptions that we already had. We have a magazine for just about any interest you might have. Stop by and check them out.
