Gourmet was one of the more heartbreaking causalities of the Condé Nast ’s purging last pin . But now the beloved food mag is back as Gourmet Live , a beautiful iPad app that ’s filled with great gastronome content , new and sometime .
Unlike many of the big name iPad magazines that plainly mirror the print reading ’s content , Gourmet Live is something else exclusively , an endeavor to give a popular photographic print magazine a life after death in digital - only form . For the most part , they ’ve succeeded beautifully .
Gourmet Live includes articles , recipe , videos and more , submit in an attractive , clean control grid with bold photos . Much of the depicted object is new — including articles plunk from new partnersEaterandSeriousEats — though some has been dug up from Gourmet ’s extensive print archive , dating back to 1941 . Pieces that plunge with the app admit a look at Obama ’s White House carte , a profile of New York ’s new mega - markte , Eataly ( from Eater ) , and a guide to settle cocktails .

The app has a somewhat daunting “ rewards ” component , allowing user to unlock new cognitive content by link up the app with their Facebook or Twitter accounts . apart from that , Gourmet Live , which is free , for now , and does n’t have any advertizement , is light on the bells and whistle that have come to define other iPad cartridge clip . Most of the time that ’s a honest thing , though at one point I incur myself wish for some more explicit navigation after I stumbled upon a hidden ( and mouthwatering ) Fall Recipes division and could n’t figure out how to get back to the main screen .
But all in all , Gourmet Live is a great new take on an previous solid food - lovers ’ favorite , and one that could well turn out that there ’s life after photographic print death . [ iTunes ]
