Saveur is a magazine and website http://www.saveur.com devoted to cuisines from all over the globe. In magazine form there are feature articles that spotlight a location, some recipes from people in that location and a story about the journalists experiences there. The articles are well written and interesting and the recipes are always excellent.
One of the things that is great about Saveur is the fact that the recipes are often creations that, depending on the situation, involve a great deal of local or family history. While there are contributions from chefs and other food industry types, Saveur is generally dedicated to everyday regional cuisine.
There are often suggestions for simple spins on traditional dishes. I tried a number of these for our family Christmas meal with much success. Brussels sprouts with bacon batons, for example, the sprouts cooked until golden in rendered bacon fat, the batons set on top as garnish (a little parmesan cheese doesn't hurt). Cranberries, slow-cooked with brown sugar and jalapeno made a great topping for hot turkey sandwiches on Boxing day.
On the website you can search for recipes, all of their past recipes are available, as well as, links to other great recipes.
The photography is mouth-wateringly gorgeous and has certainly inspired me to try recipes from all over the globe.
Every year Saveur does an issue of their top 100 things. The list is random, including great ingredients, products, restaurants. . . the list goes on. It is a fun read and a great way to discover new ideas and products.
If you love to eat, Saveur will be your good friend!
