I'm a member of a recipe sharing mailing list group. One of the members discovered something recently: The same exact recipe in a BH&G mag shows up in a Fine Cooking mag (both recent issues, I believe he said).
He went looking to see if he could find other instances of duplication between the two magazines, and sure enough, he found another.
He wasn't too pleased. Why bother subscribing to the latter if the same recipes are in his BHG subscription, he asked. Someone else, in that same mailing list group, mentioned that they are both owned by same outfit.
I am thinking that this must be a new thing...perhaps since Fine Cooking was sold a coupla years ago. ?? Anyway, shame on them if this is true...and I know the fella who brought this all up pretty well and consider him a trustworthy source...so I believe what he posted (and discovered) is true. (He even gave names of the recipes and as I recall, posted them, too.)
