Bon Appetit is that classy epicurean glossy with all-star recipes, interviews, kitchen gadget reviews, and tips on entertaining. My favorite part is the R.S.V.P. section near the front, where readers write in asking Bon Appetit's staff to go after a particularly memorable recipe from a restaurant the readers dined at, and then publish the recipe. I love seeing recipes from restaurants I have been to, sometimes even for dishes I have ordered. I fully intended to write in to Bon Appetit one day to ask for a recipe. Let's hope that with the big new changes at the mag, they won't cut R.S.V.P. If they do, I won't be R.S.V.P.ing for their mag anymore.
But about their big changes. One thing they are doing is making the logo a little friendlier and hipper. They are going from all capital letters in monochromatics, to all lowercase letters and an "o" and accent on the "e" in a different color than the rest of the letters.

I always thought I would grow old with Bon Appetit. It was my magazine. Maybe I'm not 50 now, but one day, when I am, it would still be my perfect read. Instead, with these changes, I'm reminded of what I "should" be reading in my twenties: the new Bon Appetit, not the old. We'll see if I follow those rules...
