From time to time we are asked what our favorite food magazine is. The answer, hands-down, is Saveur Magazine. From the gorgeous glossy photos, to the crisp, articulate writing, this magazine runs circles around the competition. We pick up every issue, but the latest one, Issue #110, is a MUST HAVE if you love Italian cooking (specifically pastas).
They have an assortment of articles dealing with Ragu sauces and they do an incredible job spotlighting the Italian city of Bologna, the birthplace of bolognese sauce. There are a bunch of different bolognese recipes, and they also found space to add in a recipe for cacciucco, which is a famous Tuscan seafood stew. Lastly, towards the end of the issue they review various tomato pastes, and we were pleasantly surprised to see Staten Island's own Pastoso (which is Mom B's place of choice to pick up most of her Italian food) as one of the finalists. We'll do a more in-depth entry over the weekend about this article.
Ciao!
