I am loving this concept by Christopher Hersheimer and Melissa Hamilton. They are producing these books, that are somewhere between a cooking magazine and a cookbook, three times a year -- a Winter/Spring edition, a Summer edition, and a Fall edition.
You can buy them individually, or you can get a subscription for $50/year. Wouldn't a subscription make a great gift?
As the Kitchn said, reading it is like flipping through a friend's recipe journal, complete with little personal notes.
You can also preview the books at their website, which is where I pulled these images from. The current issue is Volume III, Winter/Spring. It opens as a full screen pdf and looks pretty even on a computer!
The Kitchn published their recipe for the Lemon and Sea Salt Focaccia shown above... It looks so good! Click through below for the recipe...
