I think Steve is remembering a post which I made to the
ChileHeads' Digest, v.4 #489, back on July 14th which has to do with the
magazine format BHG cookbook. Ordering information (via snail mail or
toll free phone number in U.S.) is at the bottom.

While standing at the check-out line at my local supermarket
here in New England, I noticed what appeared to be a magazine on display
among the tabloids and TV-guides. It turns out to be a magazine-format
cookbook called "Simply Perfect: Hot & Spicy" published by Better Homes
and Gardens' Special Interest Publications and one of a series of such
books on various cooking topics like "Salads," "Baking," "Italian," etc.
The magazine/book contains 137 pages with 125 recipes. The only
advertising is the inside and back covers.
The cover price is $4.99 and this particular volume is labeled
"display until August 25"-after which, it appears that it can be ordered
from BHG for $7 (with discounts for orders of multiple titles in the
series.)
While some of the recipes may need a little "zapping" to please
the true Chilehead, it's heartening when something like this hits the
mainstream-and possibly indicative of a gradual shift in American tastes
toward the more adventuresome.
I have scanned the index and reproduced it below. I'll be happy
to post a few of the recipes to the list if there are any specific
requests.
Obligatory disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with the
publisher, distributor, author or supermarket where I shop. This is a
non-commercial posting of something which I thought would interest
fellow Chileheads.
Cheers,
