I really don't like Boston all that much, or much of Massachusetts, for that matter. I lived all…read moreover the state for several years, and it took me all that time to realize I just didn't like it very much. So snooty. And Boston's so small. And school-oriented. And, the worst, Red Sox fans. Red Sox fans are horrible. So imagine my surprise when I realize my very very favorite magazine of all time is developed right in Brookline, Mass! Right smack in the center of all that snootery! Fine Cooking, Bon Appetite, Saveur, whatever. Throw them all AWAY. Ignore them forever. When you see them at the news stand in Grand Central, roll your eyes at them. Find yourself a Cook's Illustrated. If you like to cook and are always striving to be a better cook, this is the one magazine that is essential. Why? Because they tell you how and why recipes work. The science of it. And that's how you become a better cook. Makes me want to go to Brookline. KIND OF.

I was a long time fan of Cook's Illustrated with Christopher Kimball at the helm. I ventured…read morefearlessly into recipes that I had no knowledge of. But now I find their recipes in the print magazine frustrating and have not had much success making them. Just tried the pasta frittata from the Egg Issue out in August 2017. Pasta ferociously stuck to the pan. And how am I supposed to flip the frittata when the eggs haven't set on the top? I have put the whole thing in the oven to cook and heaven only knows how I'm going to scrap it out of the pan when it sets....

Beware of the Globe $1 offer. They are now offering $1 for 26 weeks for the digital subscription…read more But at the end of that "gift" subscription they start charging $27.72 a month. No notification that the subscription is ending. It's in their contract to bill for continuation. The supervisor Alan was not very helpful for a credit other than to offer a continuation rate, This Boston Globe issue has been reported numerous times in YELP. I have been a home paper subscriber for over 30 years and 4 years digital subscriber but they are losing subscribers with this bait and switch practice. The value is not there, so beware.

I have an interesting relationship with Boink! Magazine…read more About two summers ago I was casually dating a boy who thought he was REALLY attractive. Now, to be honest, he was an attractive guy, nice abs, in good shape, but I think in his head he was like MALE MODEL HOT! He told me that he had submitted his photos to Boink! and that they had called him back about a photo shoot. At the time I thought it was a bit odd, but just laughed it off. Then came the night of the photo shoot! I was walking home from dinner with friends when he called. Boy I am dating: Babe, it went soooo well tonight! Me: Oh yeah? :: sarcasm in my voice:: Tell me about it! Boink! Model: Babe, I looked so hot, I looking like a f*cking greek god! A f*ucking GREEK GOD! Me: Oh yeah! :: thinking, OH NO! :: Boy I plan on dumping: Yeah, babe, it went so well I can't wait to see the pictures! Yeah Babe, not my style, it ended shorty after. When the magazine came out my roommates threatened to plaster my walls with it! I guess the cool/creepy thing about Boink! is you never know who you might find on the pages and then in the seat on the train next to you. I only skimmed some of the articles, and honestly some of the photo shots were just poorly done. BUT I give them 3 stars for trying to do something different, especially in a conservative town like Boston! We need people to push our buttons, just as long as they don't say babe too much ;)

Lame. Some of the worst writing I have ever read, in…read moreamateurish, poorly-researched articles, filled with conjecture, opinion, and assumption passed off as fact. Boink is essentially a huge bait and switch-- you THINK it will be intellectually stimulating, yet hot and dirty at the same time. The switch comes when you realize that while yes, sometimes they show dudes and unattractive ladies, it's still mainly antiseptic, unsexy, Playboy circa 1989, and the writing filled with fratboy-and-girl bullshit, with the occasional strident fake-sex-advocate writing about the liberating qualities of whatever sex act he or she just tried out and will hopefully shock their parents with at Thanksgiving dinner. It comes down to lack of science, lack of sexy, huge lack of perspective, and lack of literacy. We all (hopefully) go through a sexual awakening where we try new things, talk to our friends, and develop our identities. Fortunately, most of us don't publish a boring, stupid, frigid sex magazine to commemorate the experience.
