 Happy New Year Foodies! 2010 brings a new year, a new decade and hopefully many many new and wonderful food experiences. Whether you are looking for some inspiration in the new year, an outlook on new trends or some winter comfort food this month's magazines can help you out. Here's our take on the January 2010 magazines with Team Project Foodie picks for recipes to try!
Saveur - recipe list
 It's the always anticipated "Saveur 100'' list. But this time, there's a twist. The picks come not from the magazine's staff, but from readers. More than 1,300 readers -- from 18 countries and 48 states in the United States -- wrote in with their favorite picks for best ingredients, gadgets, tips and chefs. Among those that made the cut for this year's grand list are: Pacifikool Hawaiian Ginger Syrup that's perfect for making marinades and home-made sodas; "Mrs. Wilkes' Boardinghouse Cookbook,'' for a classic taste of the South with fried chicken and mac-and-cheese; cookbook author Harumi Kurihara, who is considered the Martha Stewart of Japan; and the blackberry slump topped with vanilla ice cream at the Four Swallows on Bainbridge Island, Washington State. - written by Carolyn Jung

Food & Wine - recipe list  We are barely into 2010 and the January issue of Food and Wine has already picked what they are feel are some of the year's best recipes, 20 picks from pasta to chicken to five ingredient desserts. This month the editorial staff also shares their picks for upcoming food trends, artisanal breakfast, Farm dinners, and "Better Butter" just to name a few. Top Chef Judge and Food and Wine editor Gail Simmons shows us how she successfully recreates famously flawed dishes from former Top Chef Contestants including Carla Hall and Richard Blais. And start the new year off right wine wise by finding out just what your wine personality is, the four question quiz pegged me as liking California Chardonnays, Riesling, California Merlot, and Pinot Noir. They were absolutely correct on all accounts. - written by Heather Jones

Bon Appetit - recipe list
 Where have the last ten years gone, food-wise? That's what Editor-in-Chief Barbara Fairchild asks in this issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Traditionally, the January issue is one where writers and editors look back and forward, reflecting on trends that didn't quite meet the hype and anticipating ideas that will set the food world on fire. Some trends have hit the ground running like Sriracha, an Asian hot chili sauce made in Southern California. Chefs are gobbling this inexpensive and accessible sauce up, dousing their eggs, rice, and stir-fries with its addictive spicy tang. Though meatballs' popularity peaked last year, there doesn't seem to be a decline anytime soon. Recipes go beyond the classic Italian staple. Austrian food is also featured as a hot new cuisine, thanks in part to New York's Café Katja. This issue also features a vegetarian feast and a story on baked fruit desserts that will warm you in the chilly winter months. - written by Sophia Markoulakis

Sunset - recipe list  This month's Sunset offers you amazing new ways to usher in the New Year in every area of your life. Let 2010 be your decade for change, finally re-design that kitchen, or be bold and add some bright colors into your humble abode. Never stop learning, take a class, HappyGirlKitchen.com offers fun ones on canning and preserving. Tired of the staycation and looking for a real vacation, then try skiing in Hailey, Idaho or take a wine country tour in Southern Oregon. Commit yourself to a year of living well with a host of great ideas from incorporating more citrus in your diet to hitting the hot springs. And when you're ready to focus your attention back to the kitchen, take a look at the top ten feel good foods for the year or cozy up to a warm fire with a bowl of one of their 45 minute or less slow cooked stews (see more on these below). Who says winter has to be boring? - written by Heather Jones
The January cover story, "Simple weeknight stews. Slow-cooked flavor in a flash!" really jumped out at me. This is my style of cooking! Hardly any other type of food appeals to me more than hearty, richly-flavored fall and winter main dishes--especially those made all in one pot. The four featured recipes can each be made in 45 minutes or less because they use canned beans or pre-cooked rice or other products that help slash the time you spend at the stove. I trust the food writers at Sunset magazine so much, that I will definitely try the 45-minute white wine coq au vin. I know I will not be disappointed. - written by Rita Held Recipe to try:
