Bon Appetit- Besides recipes, the magazine features interviews, travel and/or restaurant articles and features about products.
Cook’s Illustrated - Consider this magazine the Consumer Reports for cooking. No advertisements which means they review and rate both kitchen equipment and food products.

Food Network Magazine- Features a lot of recipes, plus articles, profiles of the network chefs and entertaining ideas.
Real Simple - For everything from home decor to health and finance.
