Cooking Publication Quiz

I'm working on a comparison of the four cooking magazines I subscribe to, and it's taking some time to get enough detail to be meaningful. It'll be up in the next day or so, however. As a teaser, though, here's a quick characterization of each:

1) Pretentious and focused on political correctness and advertisements, rather than food
2) Scientific evaluation of recipes (including cooking techniques for each dish) and products
3) A compilation of recipes apparently submitted by readers used as a vehicle to support advertising (complete with "product evaluations" that really amount to ads)
4) Scientific evaluation of recipes and products, but with an emphasis on simpler, more approachable recipes (read "easier to cook on a week night after work")

Can you guess which publications these are? Read the next post for confirmation...

Hmmmm....
1) Gourmet (or Saveur)
2) Cook's Illustrated
3) Sort of Southern Living, but I like Southern Living
4) Everyday Food...?

You're two for four, Hillandale. Good guessing!
