Time to Celebrate: The Kitchn’s Holiday Cookbook Issue Is Here!

‘Tis the season of festive cocktails, cheesy appetizers, beloved cookies, and treats, treats, and more treats! There’s no better way to celebrate the coming months than with the second issue of our new print magazine: The Holiday Cookbook. We’re calling it a cookbook because that’s exactly what it feels like when you’re paging through. There are no ads — just 98 pages stuffed extremely full of always special, never fussy recipes for all kinds of gatherings: your Friendsgiving, my annual ornament exchange, any cocktail party, family brunch, Hanukkah dinner, cookie swap, and all the moments in between. Believe me when I say that this will become your go-to resource every November and December for years.

In the age of AI, it’s really fun to experience something tangible that real people made — in this case, the amazingly talented editors at The Kitchn. We launched a print magazine with our paid membership, Kitchn+, as a way for us to develop a more meaningful relationship with our community of home cooks. The response has been incredible. We read every comment, email, and DM. Here’s a sampling of my favorites:

“Just received ‘What’s For Dinner?’ and absolutely love it! It’s like a cookbook, as every page is a recipe. Few ads! Love the little tricks like putting the pan in the oven while it preheats.” —Mary

“I know I said I loved the magazine when it first arrived, but I am now loving it even more each time I pick it up! Just as the website is unlike others, the magazine is unlike other food magazines which I subscribe to. No ads. No hype. No gourmet goals. Just great food, great tips, and a great format.” —Grace

“Just wanted to tell you again how much I’m enjoying my magazine. I have bookmarked literally every page. They’re all so fast, easy, and interesting — the holy trifecta!” —Nina
