The joy of women cooking
We often think of the art of food, and the art of cooking, but we don't necessarily think about the artfulness of the cooks themselves, and their own environments.

Now a new quarterly magazine from the minds behind art magazine Where Women Create celebrates the joy of cooking in a whole new way.
The quarterly Where Women Cook feels like a cross between a food blog and a big inspirational scrapbook, definitely more Country Living than Metropolitan Home. Prepare for recipes for blackberry scones and strawberry pandowdy (plus a smoothie with avocado and kale, that actually sort of terrifies me). But it's not all about recipes; you'll find photo essays and short first-person essays from all kinds of interesting, inspiring women in the food world, plus tips, info about decor and kitchen gadgets, and more.

Personally, the Suzy Eaton recipe for five-cheese tomato basil soup is the calling my name, along with one for Saltine Caramel Bars. (Yum.) And I love the article on the Women of Chelsea Market in New York, where I grab lunch several times a week. I also loved seeing  food blogger, best-selling cookbook author, and friend of CMP, Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman on the inaugural cover and her story about starting her blog is quite a sweet read.
 
A subscription would make a nice, unexpected gift for a friend who loves her mason jars. -Liz
