Get Ready to Eat

…With Bon Appetit!

The National Publishers Exchange is offering a great subscription deal on its Bon Appetit magazine.  Even if you are not accustomed to getting adventurous in the kitchen, this glossy is for you.  Find fun recipes; enjoy different foods and get lots of fun tips.  The most popular sections in the latest issue include: one bite appetizers; how to use siracha 25 different ways; “healthy” snacks that are actually full of sugar or fat; and more.   The magazine also contains tips on how to lose weight but still enjoy food.  For example, did you know that eating fat-free or low-fat grated cheese may be counterproductive?  What happens is, because it’s not as tasty, one tends to consume much more of it, thus piling on the pounds.  Thus it is better to go for the fuller-fat variety and eat less.  In addition, according to a recent Harvard study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine also found that full-fat dairy products, cheese included, may lower the risk of diabetes.  Also, instead of choosing what may seem like a great diet food but actually isn’t – veggie burgers – check out this issue’s alternative recipes on how to make rosemary Portobello burgers; or grilled Portobello burgers with piquillo pepper aioli and watercress.  When it comes to beverages, learn how to make cocktails; news on wine (orange wine!)  and 10 gluten-free beers that actually taste good.  All in all Bon Appetit is a magazine jam-packed with great food and beverage ideas.
