Featured magazine - Saveur
Saveur magazine
Several magazines in the EYB Library have most, if not all, recipes available online. This month's highlighted magazine is Saveur, which features recipes from talented contributors like Daniel Boulud, Michael Solomonov, and David Tanis, as well as from its own respected editorial team.

May's issue focuses on France, with delicious recipes like Spring vegetable stew (Estouffade printanière), Oeufs mayo with crab, Meringue floating in crème Anglaise (Île flottante), and Baked apple terrine with Calvados.
Saveur May recipes
Each year, Saveur has a special issue called "The Saveur 100", which the editors describe as an "annual attempt to survey what's happening in the world of food and drink and boil it all down...to the best of the best of right now." You can browse all issues of Saveur in the EYB Library.
