After a 68-year run, Cond? Nast is pulling the plug on Gourmet magazine. Guess I'll have to get my food porn on-line.

They're also shutting down Modern Bride and Elegant Bride--can't say I'll be crying a river over that loss.

Conde Nast closes beloved Gourmet magazine and three others -- DailyFinance.

Well@#$%#$Q@#$ I love the mag and they just came and did a photo shoot with ChefEd. We have been so looking forward to seeing his dishes on Gourmet's glossy pages. :(

I love flipping through Gourmet, especially as a passenger in the car or at bedtime. Looking at the same stuff online just isn't the same for me.

Sorry to hear this, but I must say the recipes were innovative early on, but now, most people want easier and user friendly recipes. Many of their recipes were repeats of years past with a few new twists. :idontno:
I cut out recipes from 10-15 years ago which I still have in a box to tape to a file card (which I never did :roll🙂 I have gone through those recipes and printed on line. Looking at the recipes from that long ago...I see the same recipes repeated in the magazine now. I think it has become stale.

Sorry BMR...maybe they will still put the magazine out for a while and include Chef Ed's article! I would buy that one in a HEARTBEAT!!! :clap:

I started to do this to consolidate Ed's millions of mags into one cardfile. I didn't even get as far as cutting them all out. Now the mags are in new boxes but my daughter put her name on them! :clap: They are her problem now.

Are they pulling the plug on Bon Appetit Mag also?
FYI- Epicurious.com has recipes from both magazines as well as their own, so you'll get 3 for 1 stop online selections.

Nope, I hear they are keeping that one.

Bluemtnrunner, keep us updated! Maybe Chef Ed will get in there after all! :idontno:

Part of the reason they got rid of Gourmet was that they also had Bon Appetit and thought there was too much overlap in a rapidly shrinking market.

Apparently Gourmet ad sales went down 46% and Bon Appetit ad sales went down 35% - so it stays.
