Tragic Sandwich

Alas, the nearly 70-year-old Gourmet magazine is folding. Conde Nast announced the decision on Monday, and although the recipes will still be available at Epicurious.com, there will be no more of those rich, wonderful articles arriving in my mailbox.

I didn’t do a lot of cooking from Gourmet–although I have designs on a recent cheese-crust apple pie recipe–but you could tell that the magazine was written and produced by people who truly loved food. I know it’s a sign of the times, and part of a larger trend, but it’s still a loss.
