Fantastic magazine from a great cook and an entertaining woman.

But, WHY pay this much? It's FAR LESS to sign up directly through Paula's site.

Great magazine. But don't subscribe here. You can do it online at her website or tear out the order form in a magazine and it will cost 50% less.

If you like Paula, and many folks do, you will enjoy this magazine. They are light and enjoyable reading. However, the magazine really is giving the reader a "taste of Savannah" and a look into Paula's life...perhaps a bit too much. They are not pure cooking magazines. Also, if you have all of Paula's cookbooks, you may have the recipes already. Hopefully as the magazine progresses, there will be less of Paula's life / house / family / etc, and more new recipes.

I agree 100% with the comments already made that the price listed here is not a good value. I got my subscription from the magazine's website for far less. The price listed here is comparable to that of magazines that come monthly (Paula's is once every two months) and that are much larger. Paula's magazine is about 1/3 the pages of a "Cooking Light"

Paula's magazine is wonderful...unlike what one of the reviewers wrote about the recipes being bland. They are all from Paula's cookbooks, new recipes or from her friends. NONE are bland...they are Pure Paula and all have the wonderful southern flare she is known for. I have been fortunate enough to meet Paula in person and was at a recent taping of her new t.v. show Paula's Party...this magazine is just another wonderful extention of her many talents!

I ordered this magazine for my grandmother, as we are both HUGE Paula fans. We got the first issue and read it front to back several times. It is an awesome publication filled with recipes and pictures and stories about Paula's life. I think it really captures the feeling of Paula Deens show.

Why pay $34 when you can buy the magazine at a bookstore and order a subscription for $19.98

I had not idea that you could order that magazine directly from them until I bought one from our local Super Market. I was surprised at the difference that I had already paid to order from Amazon and what it was there. I canceled my order and ordered from them.
Some items are much less on Amazon and some are much more. You just have to be careful.
A magazine is a magazine no matter where it comes from.

The photos are wonderful, and you can almost taste the food. Her recipes are easy to follow, home style, absolutely delicious, BUTTERY wonderful, and I can't wait to get the next issue!

By the way PAULA--- Please help us to stop using the hydrogenated oil Trans Fat!

BUTTER all the way!

Smart Balance makes a NON-hydrogenated shortening you can go half and half with BUTTER for a great healthy pie crust!!!

Thanks all!

I like Paula Deen's cooking, and find that I prefer to order my magazines through Amazon because they send me an email update when my subscription is really about to expire, so I can choose to renew, instead of flooding me with 6 months' worth of letters in the mail saying "RENEW NOW" or else, you'll miss an issue. Invariably, I never missed an issue, but I certainly OVERpaid too soon by sending in subscription cards and renewing too early when I may not have wanted to.

I am looking forward to receiving the magazine, BUT it's taking 2-1/2 months to receive the first issue!
