The end of Gourmet Magazine

Gourmet Magazine is closing its doors after a 68 years old publication life.

The culinary magazine had been the pillar of upscale recipes since 1941.

The culinary magazine was a pioneer in the food magazine industry for defining sophisticated cuisine, for featuring celebrity chefs and for illustrating elegant recipes.

It combined articles about gourmet food, wine, travel destination, hotels, restaurants and purveyors, and simply ignored frugality.

But the loss of subscribers and ad sales contributed to its severe decline.

Gourmet magazine will remain on the Internet at www.gourmet.com for the time being.

Times have changed, and younger generations don’t have much time to spend in front of the stove anymore. The new trends in cooking seem to be the “quick, easy and cheap” recipes.
