Millions of people around the world love to cook. These chefs cook for a variety of reasons. Some of these chefs work in restaurants; they cook in order to earn enough money to pay the rent and cover their bills. However, many other chefs do not work for restaurants; these chefs are not professionals but amateurs who mostly cook for pleasure. Oftentimes, these amateur chefs cook at night or on the weekends at cookouts; they cook in order to feed their friends, neighbors, and family members. Occasionally, these amateur chefs compete in cooking competitions which are hosted dozens of times each year in thousands of small American towns. Although these competitions often award cash prizes to participants who cook the most delicious dishes, many participants do not care about the money simply because the minuscule sum rarely covers their expenses. Instead, these participants compete in cooking competitions because they want their prestige that accompanies their victory; amateur chefs who win these contests love to brag about their delicious dishes. However, not every amateur chef is this competitive. Many amateur chefs cook simply because they believe that it’s a relaxing hobby.
Regardless of whether a chef works in a kitchen or not, or whether he competes in cooking competitions or just cooks in order to relax, or whether he is an expert or a novice, many chefs read and subscribe to food magazines. These food magazines are very popular among chefs because they often include popular recipes which have earned lasting fame (and even monetary profits) for the chefs who perfected them. In addition to detailing new and exciting recipes, many of these food magazines share other successful cooking strategies which help prospective chefs hone their craft. For example, editorials in these food magazines debate the relative merits of cooking versus broiling, or they argue about how to best defrost a frozen piece of meat. These food magazines also review the latest and greatest in cooking gadgets such as grills and stoves. (These food magazines also detail cleaning tips which help cooks remove grease and other residues from their grills, stoves, and other cooking materials.)
Although many chefs still subscribe to traditional print food magazines, many subscribe to online food magazines. These food magazines online offer a number of advantages over traditional food magazines. For example, a food magazine online can deliver new recipes to its readers much more quickly than a traditional print magazine, a feature which many chefs regard as essential because it lets them defeat their competition in cooking contests.
