I hope you can help me. I took my Thanksgiving food book to the grocery store to by ingredients for onion soup with cheese points. I think it was ll/07 but could even have been 11/06. It calls for Marsala wine. I bought all the ingredients and left the book in the basket. Do you happen to have the recipe? It would be greatly appreciated.

I pull out the recipes I want and put them in an appropriately-sized art portfolio (each page is a thin plastic sleeve); those lay open great. Look for them at art supply shops or university book stores. Best of all, I can take the whole (tiny) portfolio with me to do my grocery shopping. That might not work for everyone though -my apartment is so small I only shop for one day's dinner at a time.

I too find myself buying these books. I did have a subscription, but cancelled it because I could never find the recipe I was looking for. But every issue that comes out, I still buy it. Dumb! Martha should really do something about this and offer an index. Who wants to look through 30 or 50 books to find what your looking for? That's it...I'm done with these books!

I'm shocked. Shocked and dismayed to find out that people are clearing their shelves and I should,too. I love Everyday Food so much! But, yes, I worry about the use of paper, and I'm getting sooo old. I will will my 50 issues to my two offspring. I went on line looking for a general index and I find all this upheaval. Shocking!

Sell off the magazines, and buy the Everyday Food: Great Food Fast cookbook. It's really good, lots of simple recipes, and I bet many of your favorites are in there.

Magazines are a tough one for me. Everyday food included in the bunch. I love the ideas and inspiration that they provide. Yet, I hate the paper waste and I hate the cost. $5-$25 a month if bought individually., or $45-60 if I decide to buy subscriptions. I'd really like to buy them in e format.

I took a look at eBay's complete items. Here's a rundown of some recent auctions:
Issue #1: $31.00
Issue #1: 39.99
The whole set of all except #2: 61.00 And a set of the first 4 issues: 43.52

My complaint is that you can't lay the magazine flat on the counter.

I have the same problem with getting rid of anything; the initial trigger of why I kept it in the first place is usually not far from the surface. If I can get past it then I have very quickly diminishing returns--recycle 10 quickly then spend an hour waffling over getting rid of the next 5. Luckily I don't seem to go back on the already-tossed stuff usually.

I have 2 issues - last year's Cookie and this year's Baking. I made the Cornmeal-Cherry Cookies from last year's issue and was put off by the graininess of the cornmeal. But the Giant Ginger Cookies are superb if you like a little kick. I can't wait to try all of the cakes and pies in this Holiday issue.

Michelle - Thanks! $30? I might try it, though mine isn't in as good a condition as that one.

I have subscribed to Everyday Food for a couple of years. I love the recipes, and so does my husband. I have been using the recipes from the magazines less and less though, since I bought the Great Food Fast cookbook. Also since almost all the recipes are online, I am considering getting rid of the magazines. But you are right about the cheerfulness. I think that's whats kept me from recycling them, to tell the truth.

I, too, quit my Everyday Food subscription as I wasn't using the recipes. I don't reference them, either, so perhaps I should sell them! I think that I started on issue #2, too.

Now you have me thinking about selling them. I need the space! I have so many Martha Stewart Living back issues that I have filled 12 IKEA magazine holders!

I gave up Blueprint but the they sent me some ridiculous deal (2 for $12 or something) that I'm willing to try another year.

Hmmm... may head to eBay here!

I have some issues of Everyday Food too, maybe about 10 or so in total. I really like the format and the recipes, and have cooked quite a few things from them, but I just can't justify buying and storing them every month. I have many cookbooks and haven't even come close to exhausting the possibilities there (let's not even begin to discuss the other recipes that I clip of of Martha Stewart, Real Simple, etc. etc.) It starts to get too overwhelming.
