The Food Network: The Magazine

Someone’s in the kitchen with the Food Network, and together they may be cooking up a new food magazine, says a gossipy piece in Condé Nast Portfolio. The story notes that Hearst has been siphoning off editors from Every Day with Rachael Ray, and that the publishing giant has already handled other “TV-to-print” mags such as O, The Oprah Magazine and the now-defunct Lifetime.

Will the new publication be a hit or a miss? The Portfolio piece, quoting a “well-placed source,” says that “Hearst is not the first publisher Scripps approached with the idea … The problem is that the network’s personalities aren’t an automatic part of the package. And of course Ray, possibly the network’s biggest star, has her own magazine, as does Paula Deen. ‘All you really get is the logo,’ says the source.”

  1. i dunno
    if they can’t get the pros to contribute like ray and deen and the others
    what they going to have something like TASTE of HOME yeah yuk

  2. My personal opinion is that both Rachael Ray and Paula Deen are over exposed. And both are too manic. The Food network needs to push the newer cooks.

  3. true uluro they are they already have their own magazines

  4. The amount of magazines that have come and gone is huge number. Food network would focus on the ultimate magazine that gives back to the reader. By the reader purchasing for entertainment, enlighten, education with fashion sense they will have a winner. http://hotcookies.net
