Nice pictures to look at, and amazing recipes! If you like the magazine you should check out their YouTube channel, very interesting stuff there.

Involuntary renewals, no discernable value; delivery is rare; the free website is just as good

Update: I had already written a one-star review, but their refusal to honor not auto renewing would have dropped it to one-star anyway. Amazon customer service failed me on this. I guess I'm an involuntary lifetime subscriber now.
I like their website, so decided back in June to support them with a subscription. I've received two issues of the magazine since then. I wasn't terribly impressed by the content compared to what's freely available on their website. I won't be renewing my subscription.

I was somewhat disappointed with the magazine since December when I received this subscription as a gift. The magazines I pickup at the newsstand are large and beautiful and have mostly recipes and few ads. However the subscription gives you skinny magazines with lots of ads AND the last straw was delivering it via a plastic bag thrown on my driveway like a piece of junk mail? What in the world? I responded with questions to Bon Appetite via all their social channels & received crickets! horrible customer service. And why oh why are they adding yet more plastic to the environment by using this delivery method via regular mail. The website is actually great and you can access that and their youtube channel for free. Don't waste your money with a subscription.

There’s very few recipes in this magazine. I used to really enjoy it.

I've subscribed to Bon Appetit since 1987. I renewed my subscription over and over because it was a great magazine with a lot to it. I saved so many recipes that have become part of my repertoire. I've noticed over the last few years, though, that the magazine has changed dramatically. Those recipes are no longer a part of the magazine. In my opinion, it's become a boring subscription. I subscribed last year through Amazon (much lower subscription rate) with the hope it had changed, but it hadn't. It automatically renewed this year before I noticed. I tried to cancel it, but it was too late so I'm stuck for another year. With so much to be found on the internet, Bon Appetit has steep competition. I won't renew next year.

Update: 7 months later I am still chasing my subscription, and despite all the complaints I filed I haven’t gotten a single issue in 7 months.
Only buy this subscription if you are ok with paying and not getting anything in exchange.
The magazine has become way too yuppie in the past years. Which would be still ok, but in May they changed the distribution and I haven’t received a single issue since. When I inquired, they directed me to the post office which I believe has nothing to do with the distribution right now. Don’t waste your money

I was horribly upset when I saw what Bon Apetit had become. Every single page has at least one advertisement. Its hard to figure out the ads from the actual articles. I used to love this magazine, but I will never waste even $5 on a subscription again. Sad how bad print media has become. The articles are not written with any kind of love of subject. Just mindless crap. Don't waste your time, as I did.

This magazine was supposed to be delivered for a year and after 7 months you are going to have it renewed and charge me $19.99 by September 28. What is happening. And the phone number you listed in my email is not even working. And there is no box to even cancel.
DO NOT RENEW AND CHARGE ME.
DO NOT RENEW AND CHARGE ME.

Magazine is fine. Company made me auto renew for exorbitant amount, then wouldn't let me cancel. I don't even get every issue. Not at all happy!!! Don't order magazines through this service. You will regret it.
