Advantages: Full of fab recipe ideas from quick and easy to pro chef level.

Disadvantages: All that yummy food may make you fat. Some ingredients used are hard to find and/or expensive .

I first came across Delicious magazine in WHSmith a while ago, there was a freebie on the cover and I was getting bored with cooking the same old basic meals day in day out. What a find!

Many of the recipes I have found have become regular favourites in our house. This magazine is simply fantastic, so good I have it on regular subscription. Several of my friends subscribe too, we are always chatting about the recipes and swapping ideas for menus.

When I subscribed I got a very nice free Typhoon weighing scale worth about £25.00 just what I needed as my old scales were on the blink. This free gift changes every few months but is always very high quality. The subscription has been extremely reliable, never missing an issue and always on time.

The magazine itself is rich with varied content, virtually every page gets read. Heres a look at its average content each month.

Speedy Suppers - quick, easy meals.
Simple - Classic combos
Jamie's Quickies - Yes its Jamie Oliver
Assembly line - Take one shopping basket, use the shopping list provided, then cook with the recipes.
Techniques - Expert help for making classic dishes.
Junior Cooks - One of the best sections of the magazine, get the kids learning to cook.
Weekenders - cakes, cookies, puds and all things yummy plus great British grub.
Last Orders - How to make a quick tipple.
Foodie File - Product reviews, competitions and snippets.
Wicked - Seriously tempting food.
And more.

Theres plenty of input from celebrity and professional chefs, including chef at your shoulder which takes you step by step through creating more complex dishes.

Regular reader offers guarantee extra bargains and regular cover gifts are a great bonus too. Its not all indulgence either, regular low fat recipes are covered and cooking for special diets included too.

The reader letters and feedback pages are useful and informative often sourcing hard to find ingredients and specialist gourmet suppliers. Features on food growers and manufacturers add a new indepth perspective to how we perceive ingredients.

The recipes are never dull, not over complicated with clear intructions and high quality pictures. This magazine is an absolute delight for the foodie and a must buy for every family fed up with the same old packet and jar style dinners. Its increased my confidence and we eat more healthily than ever.

Summary: Top mag for foodies.
