This is one of the best food magazines anywhere, and comes from Australia. Some insight into the modern australian food and lifestyle, as well as great photos. I have made lots of things from it that always work out well and are often quite innovative without being overly tricky. Has celebrity chef's recipes (Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, Jull Duplex) as well as unknowns. I get my mother to send me old issues from Australia. I don't know why it's so expensive here, but if you are looking for a gift for a homesick Australian who is into food: this is it!

I have purchased 15 versions of the Australian magazine, and 2 of the new American version. Very impressed by the Australian one and very disappointed by the new American one. If you have the money for the Australian version it is worth every penny. A great magazine that is fresh and different and makes you almost feel like you live in Australia. It is very fun to get a Christmas issue where they are celebrating at the beach, being in the southern hemisphere. There are plenty of food magazines in the US. Splurge on the Australian one, it is wonderful ! ! !

Great Magazine! First Magazine that I have seen where it's only about the FOOD! They have a great list of ingredients and their conversions with measurements on last page for readers outside of Australia. It is very helpful for me since I am in the U.S. I agree, I wish it was not so expensive, but it is really a great alternative for other foodies out there, to see what else is going on in the world of cooking other than in America.

My impression of mainstream American food magazine is that they focus on mostly hearty meals and thick, dense, and rich desserts, which is not what Ij'd like to include in my diet. Delicious magazine is different, it has a lot of refreshing and light dishes. It is more expensive then the other magazines probably because it's being imported and printed in Australia (instead of printed in China like other books nowadays).

You should try to see if your local bookseller carries it because the cover price is only US$8.99 per issue/month. When I am writing this review, Amazon is selling it for US$126 for 11 issues. You do the math ;)

I have tried to find a magazine to rival this one in the US, but have so far been extremely disappointed. Most of the magazines I open here have a few recipes(sometimes without pictures???), and lots of adds. With my delicious magazines I treat each one more like a mini-cookbook, they do have adds and etc, however the number of quality and appealing recipes is usually plentiful. Most of the recipes in the mag are fairly original and not just rehashes, and all that I have tried come out great, and good at worst(which is a very bold statement :p .. esp since I'm no expert chef).
