Gourmet magazine closes After 7 decades
After nearly 69 years of taste making and recipe writing, Conde Nast announced yesterday that it will close Gourmet Magazine. The November issue will be its last. The decision came after a three-month study by McKinsey & Co., which looked at cutting the publishing company’s costs. Along with Gourmet, Conde Nast is closing Cookie, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride. The magazine, headed by longtime editor-in-chief Ruth Reichl, has been a gourmet bible for many young chefs and foodies. Joining us to talk about the demise of the magazine is chef and author Mark Bittman.
