What do you think of the new face of the cookbook, the magazine?

First there was Bitayavon, then I saw Bits and Bites, and for Shavuos, a magazine from Jamie Geller came out! This is besides the pull out sections of Binah (Relish) and Whisk (Ami). Now I see there's also Mishpacha, with a completely separate recipe booklet!

As far as I'm concerned, I don't need cookbooks anymore, although I think that beginning cooks still need them. And I was just discovering Susie Fishbein!

In a poll I'd ask: which is your favorite mag -booklet, and why? Do you prefer it to a cookbook?

I find them more affordable, and durable enough to file in a special folder, and the pictures are beautiful and detailed. For Shavuos, I made two cheesecakes from Jamie Geller's, one from Bits and Bites, and several smash hit cake recipes.

I also find that they're easier to find and follow than an imamother printed out ones - of which I have two folders, one of favorites, that I've been adding on to for years already, and meaning to organize.

I actually prefer cookbooks.
Cookbooks are more durable. They're easier to store. Magazines are hard to organize - once you've got a few saved, how do you find let's say a soup recipe easily? (And I don't want to be busy copying them into my personal recipe book.) I also think that cookbook recipes are less likely to have mistakes - the publisher has more time to double-check.

I rip out and save all my favorite recipies from the magazines. I then put them into a sheet protector and into a looseleaf. This way I have beautiful pictures with the recipies of my choice!!

I am loving Bitayavon!

I have read the pesach/spring issue from cover to cover, and have been busy cooking (& eating Smile) the recipes. I'm really looking forward to the next issue!

I agree. I usually prefer cookbooks to cooking magazines for the same reasons you mentioned.

DD got a free copy of Jamie Geller's Shavous issue and I couldn't find anyone to take it off of our hands. I doubt it's that popular.

Kosher Inspired is Mishpacha's food magazine. I have had success with some of their recipes, and I enjoy the articles. They advertise on the cover when it's included in the Mishpacha packet.

my SIL said there were mistakes in the first B'tayavon magazine so I was scared off of that one.

I get food network magazine and when I buy the binah or mishpacha or ami, I look at those recipes too. Mostly I use my cookbooks (all were presents, except my spice and spirit) and imamother.
