BBC gets a taste for cookery with third food launch

By Press Gazette

BBC Magazines has launched a third food title for readers looking for simple tips on cooking.

BBC Easy Food will feature a 16-page pull-out barbecue section and simple recipes for food enthusiasts looking to improve their cooking technique.

Sara Buenfeld, former food editor of Woman & Home and Living magazine, is editor.

The BBC said it plans to publish another issue in the autumn and is waiting to see how sales go before committing itself to a fixed frequency.

The title will have a cover price of £1.99 and print run of 120,000.

BBC Easy Food is the third title from the corporation’s ‘Easy’ range, following the launches of home interiors magazine Easy Decorating and Easy Gardening.
