You might like Cook's Illustrated. Also Scientific American is worth while. I respectfully disagree with those who disparage The Atlantic. They cover the spectrum of political thought. P. J. O'Rourke and Mark Steyn both appear there regularly. Of course you do get some liberal thought too, but it is always a good idea to have some insight into what the other side is thinking (or in the case of liberals, feeling.

Cook's Illustrated.

Worst ever. I was apalled. These people are astonishingly pretentious, and the seem to HATE FOOD. The whole magazine was designed around selling their advertiser's products -- obviously so, but not candidly so. (Their comparison of rotissseries concluded that they are are generally worthless and silly, you need a "V-rack" instead.) The whole magazine was insulting. Recipe write-ups, too. Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Chicken, by a woman who thinks rosemary is insipid and garlic is rank. She experimented with several ways to cook it, and decided that the best way was with a V-rack.

I also think The Atlantic is great. I used to adore Reason when it was edited by Virginia Postrel, but the magazine has literaly gone to pot since her departure.
