5.0 out of 5 stars for the intellectual food lover, October 19, 2004
By 
jeanne Lemlin (Great Barrington, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gastronomica (Magazine)
I am a professional cook who has an expansive collection of cookbooks and food magazine subscriptions, and Gastronomica, without a doubt, is in a class by itself. It's a magazine that relishes all aspects of food culture, from indepth explorations of particular cuisines to quirky analyses of fun foods. Topics as diverse as coca-cola, Vietnamese pho, the parrot eaters, egg creams, irradiated foods, tea drinking, and the all-American butter cake are just a few of the always interesting, usually provocative, and oftentimes entertaining articles you'll read.
This offbeat, classy magazine is for the thinking food lover. What a treat!

5.0 out of 5 stars The "New Yorker" of food, October 7, 2004
This review is from: Gastronomica (Magazine)
The "New Yorker" for food is often how I describe this magazine to colleagues and friends. The articles are well written, though occasionally idiosyncratic. It is one of two magazines I subscribe to (the other being the New Yorker.) If the alleys and byways of food are as interesting to you as the grand boulevards, then this magazine will appeal to you. It is not Gourmet or Martha Stewart (not that I have a problem with either of those titles, this magazine is just different), but if you enjoy food writing about varied topics from a slightly academic point of view this magazine would be a good choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars a magazine for the reflective cook, October 6, 2004
This review is from: Gastronomica (Magazine)
Gastronomica is a thoughtful, inspirational magazine, filled
with insightful commentary on all aspects of food. The well-researched articles reflect the individual passion of its contributors; it is for the "thinking cook" who values substance over fluff.
