Hello, Just popping in to clear up a discrepancy about the 1st issue. The 1st issue of Gourmet was actually the January, 1941 “holiday Issue” :)

Hey. I own an October 1959 Gourmet Magazine, I was wondering what it could be worth.

Hi Jody. I presume if you contribute to food and other magazines, you would at least do some homework before leaving such a comment. I am not a magazine, but a food blog. Gourmet is a U.S. based publication and I sincerely doubt they will respond to your comment above. The next time you wish to volunteer to write for a publication, at least read the post above intently and logically research your subject, so you can contact the publication directly. If you haven’t read a copy, (i.e. bought or seen one in a library, it’s kind hard to pitch an article to them) besides, the quickest way to find the contact address for a magazine is to check the inside page near the front…

I am a contributing writer to various publications. I have contributed before to Cook Magazine and to Today Newspaper.

I am interested now to write for your magazine as I am currently working on specific new product introductions of leading fastfoods.

As standard practice, I get an honorarium fee for my writing.

May I submit my articles to your mag for immediate publication?

Thank you so much.

Very truly yours,

Ms. Jody L. Montealegre
Writer

Oh my …..i thought i have the only obsession of collecting magazines and cook books,
I truly enjoy reading them not necessarily cook.I tried some with failures and my mom saying
don’t bring this anymore this is not good,or she would say you probably did not put any barbecue sauce in yours.and just like your site, i enjoy browsing on food blogs .Got few
Gourmet and Bon appetit mags and others….my books are almost a hundred and the are my prized possessions.

Wow! And I’ve always thought I am the only one with an almost fanatic obsession with food magazines! I scour thrift shops here in the U.S. to find old magazines such as Gourmet and Bon Appetit. My greatest find was one I bought from an estate sale for .50cents. It was a collection of recipes that local chruch groups (had advertisements of local businesses as well)were selling~printed in 1910 and had a price of .10cent back then. The booklet has lots of almost forgotten recipes but I can not really browse through it with abandon as the pages are so thin and fragile from age!

Love your site. Fantastic recipes and quite a wealth of information here!
