cathy: Compared to local food mags, I think the layout is refreshing! On content, you are correct that the recipes are quite basic and simple. That was precisely why it appealed to me, a cooking amateur. Would you mind if I share your comment with a contact from Yummy? I believe it will greatly help them.

My husband got me a copy of Yummy. Although the layout is nice, I have seen better magazines (i.e., Martha Stewart Living, for example). For me, the featured recipes do not give new ideas to homemakers. The recipes are not unique and do not pose a challenge to readers (e.g., bolognese, white sauce, cordon bleu, chicken ala kiev, buco pandan, leche flan, etc.). I actually encountered better versions of these recipes in the internet and other cookbooks. Yummy will be a good magazine, though, for people who wish to learn the basics of cooking but if one has the basics down pat, it won’t be much of a new experience. I liked the feature on marketman, though.

Pia: You’re right! Yup, it does have the same down-to-earth tone as Rachael Ray’s magazine, and the simplicity of Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food. That combination makes it an even more interesting read.

junnie: I hope it lasts long too! I don’t really read local food magazines, but I’m making an exception for this one. Let’s hope it’s successful!
