ONE HUNDREDTH POST

So you may wonder why I haven't been blogging on topic lately...and the answer of course is I've been staring at this for the past month:



Now, let's just say I've been trained to hate this magazine. A month ago I could list about ten reasons why the magazine was the devil incarnate's half-brother (Rachel Ray still holds the top spot) but after this issue I have nothing else to say. This, better than any other issue EVER CREATED for ANY food magazine, better exemplifies what a food magazine is suppose to do: get you to eat what is on the page. I swear, I want to bite into the paper, these shots are so amazing.

Look at this photography. While Bon App is best known for a style I like to refer to as 'Glamorously Disgusting' close-ups, this issue really pulled itself together giving me nothing but beautiful shot after beautiful shot—ever one of them making me crave whatever I was looking at:

Yum.

And the design isn't too bad either. This was my favorite spread, both in photography and in how they laid out the information:

So the feature is on four different sauces to use in various ways. First, they include those little color-coordinated circles next to the recipes, and then on the opposite page they list all these way to  use the different sauces, again incorporating the color scheme into the list. They make these seem easy, versitle, and beautiful!

I don't even care if those chocolate drips on the cover are Photoshopped (my eye tells me no, but then my experience tells me probably)

As so I'll leave you with my favorite shot of all:
