Food mag????

I think the link mentioned in the mag is for the Good Food magazine recipes which is here http://bbcgoodfood.com, but I havent checked it out yet to see if any easycook ones are there.

If you want to try these magazines, check the Magazines thread over at the shop but don't drop. There is a post here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=182314&page=82 by princessmoneysaver with a 3 for £1 initial offer on Easy cook, which you can try and then if you like, you can continue or just cancel. It is a direct debit. In case you're not used to doing mags subs, it is quite simple, you tell them you account details, they set up the direct debit and send you a letter. Once the first payment has been taken out (in the letter the date is shown), you cancel the direct debit with your bank (I do it online) and if you want, write them an email or call to cancel with them. Most people simply cancel the direct debit.

I've taken several subs for £1 to food magazines, olive, delicious, good food, and my favourite so far has been good food. So i'm really looking forward to easy cook, which I have just subscribed to.

Hope this has helped anyone.

The quick fish stew in the new magazine is gorgeous, and amazingly easy to do

My BIL gave me a subscription to easy cook for xmas. In previous years I've had Good Food, but never seemed to make the recipes from it - they were all abit complicated. The trial issue I brought of easy cook (to check I liked it) seemed much more managable. I love the idea of meal planning from them, (being stuck for inspiration regularly!).

The only thing is, my first magazine has turned up- at his house (their error). So it'll be another week (when I see him next) until I get to try it out properly!

I have a serious addiction to food mags. I get BBC Good Food, their Vege one when it comes out, Olive, Fresh, Easy Cook and Delicious. Mostly I use them for ideas, but am planning to dig out the recent issue of (whichever it was) that had a piece on making sushi. Got some weird bits and pieces and I think tomorrow's tea will be a Japanese feast: sushi, tempura and a soup of some kind. The children will surely like tempura - I'll do some prawn (DD's favourite), some potato (DS's favourite!), some asparagus and some broccoli.

I got Country Kitchen for the first time this month and was really impressed - there's loads I will make and it is geared to what is seasonal. However at £3.10 it's not cheap

I used to buy Easy Cook every time it was out, until I bought a couple of little recipe books from Asda...101 Cheap Eats and 101 One Pot Meals...they are all the easy cook recipes! Exactly the same, same photography etc. Buying the series of these would work out much cheaper as you could cut out those recipes you didn't like, e.g. fish or whatever.

As a HUGE fan of EC mag, that sounds worth a 30 mile round trip to my 'local' Asda :rotfl:
