Thanks, Jamie!

My favorite celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, launched his own magazine right before the Christmas holiday season. The second issue is now available in fine bookstores, such as Borders and Barnes and Noble. Click HERE for more info (if my following review doesn't suffice).

The magazine is refreshing, sophisticated, and very well put together. Jamie travels to exotic locales, such as Cape Town, Africa, and presents lovely snippets of the food life in the area. The magazine is also an outlet of his new fine line of dishes and kitchenware, jme. The contributing writers offer advice on everything from wine to herb gardening to Britain's local organic food markets.

The only downside to the magazine? It's only available as an imported magazine, and it comes with a hefty $10 price tag. You can subscribe internationally, but it would be cheaper just to go over to B&N every two months and buy it off the rack. (There's an additional $10 added to the magazine's yearly cover price.)
